-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade Spring Boot, Spring and Spring Security to their latest stable version
                 Key: FINERACT-724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-724
             Project: Apache Fineract
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Vishwas Babu A J


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 releases before GSOC starts)

Spring boot -> 2.2.x (expected to be releases 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
