Kamila Molina commented on FINERACT-724:
----------------------------------------

Hi.
I am Kamila Molina a Computer Science student at University of Cuenca. I have some experience working with Spring, Gradle and Java technologies and I would like to work on this issue as part of the GoSC program. 

There are some migration guides for Spring and SpringBoot  that could be useful [1][2]. I will go trough Fineract code and prepare a proposal for this issue. Please help me to get started into the project, do you have documentation about Fineract's architecture? or other resources that I should read.

Cheers,
Kamila.

> Fineract uses versions of spring (including spring security) and spring boot which have approached their EOL and needs to be updated to the latest stable releases.
> Spring -> 5.2.x (expected to be released before GSOC starts)
> Spring boot -> 2.2.x (expected to be released before GSOC starts)
>  
> This upgrade would likely throw up a number of issues which would need to be addressed. Some sample issues would be
>  * Deprecated methods which have now been removed. Ex: The codebases uses JdbcTemplate.queryForInt which would need to be replaced with queryForObject
>  * The implementation of custom Filters like TenantAwareBasicAuthenticationFilter would need to change as overridden methods like doFilter in OncePerRequestFilter are final in recent Spring releases
