Readiness for Spring Boot 3?

[sdoxsee]

New arangodb user here. Nice project! Tried using this on Spring Boot 2.7.5 project and it worked fine but there are number of changes/depreciations beyond that when you get to Spring Boot 3 that prevent it from working out of the box.

I won't list the errors now as there are several (depending how far ahead the dependencies are bumped)

There is also the depreciation of spring.factories for autoconfiguration that prevents autoconfiguration from being detected in the starter.

Just seeing if anyone has looked at this yet or if it was on the roadmap as Spring Boot 3 GA is less than a month away.

Thanks!

Support for Spring Boot 3 is on our roadmap, but the related work has not started yet.
Note that this project is not part of Spring Data main modules, but is a community-module (https://spring.io/projects/spring-data#community-modules). As such, the release schedule does not match the main Spring Data releases and might have some delay.

I just tried out to build the project using spring data 3.0.1. The only compile incompatibilities are the imports in DefaultArangoConverter. Changing the imports for EntityInstantiator and EntityInstantiators from org.springframework.data.convert to org.springframework.data.mapping.model make the source work with versions 2 and 3.

For compatibility reasons ArangoRepository should now also extend CrudRepository as PagingAndSortingRepositoryno longer includes it. Also the behaviour of deleteById() and delete(T) should checked.

The Spring data parent requires compilation using Java 17 for Spring Boot 3. It seems Arango Spring Data needs a new Major version here which is no longer compatible with Spring Boot 2. But I think the source could be kept compatible without the need for different versions (for more details, see Spring Data 2022.0 (Turing) Release Notes).

But spring support for 2.7.x will end soon as per this page https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#support

Yes, the time is ticking. More and more spring users move over to the spring 3.
