Spring 4.3.x to spring 5 migration

[vyanktesh kulkarni]

Is the book covers spring 5 backward compatibility?
Is it easy to consider spring migration from 4.3.13 to spring 5?

Hi Vyanktesh,

The book talks about what has changed since Spring 4. Yes, its easy to migrate from Spring 4 to Spring 5.

Below recommendation is from the Spring Framework lead Juergen Hoeller

To a large degree, an upgrade from Spring Framework 3.2 (or earlier) to 4.0.1 should be as straightforward as a change of version numbers in your Maven POMs. Note that you may have to upgrade specific third-party dependencies to a recent enough version (e.g. Hibernate 3.6+, Quartz 1.8+, Jackson 1.8+, Tiles 2.2+), but other than that, you should be able to get all the benefits of the Spring 4 line with hopefully very little effort.

I hope this holds good for other versions as well.

Thanks
Sundar
