How to upgrade spring-hateoas when using spring boot?

Question

I was reading about spring-hateoas and it appears there are a lot of changes with 1.0. I want to switch to 1.0

However my pom.xml is pulling in 0.25.2.

I tried using

  <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-hateoas</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

it still pulls in 0.25.2. If I explicitly put in

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.hateoas</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-hateoas</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0.RELEASE</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

it pulls in 1.0 but I get runtime error.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.hateoas.RelProvider
    at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:583) ~[na:na]
    at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178) ~[na:na]
    at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521) ~[na:na]

How do I use spring boot and also spring-hateoas 1.0?

Answer 1

Regarding the HATEOAS upgrade from 0.×.×.RELEASE to 1.×.×.RELEASE, I followed the guidelines here, since some refactoring was needed: https://spring.io/blog/2019/03/05/spring-hateoas-1-0-m1-released

I used the migrate-to-1.0.sh script (here) provided by Spring HATEOAS, and generally I made the following changes on our POJOs:

• ResourceSupport is now RepresentationModel
• Resource<T> is now EntityModel<T>
• Resources<T> is now CollectionModel<T>
• PagedResources<T> is now PagedModel<T>
• ControllerLinkBuilder is now WebMvcLinkBuilder
• Identifiable<T> interface is removed and not necessary anymore
• Link.REL_SELF is now IanaLinkRelations.SELF_VALUE, and so on

Answer 2

Finally solved this problem today! The solution I found was to define the version of hateoas as a new property in pom. That way you can override the version of hateoas provided by the parent spring boot parent project.

<properties>
        <...other project related version goes here as usual ..>
        <spring-hateoas.version>1.0.1.RELEASE</spring-hateoas.version>
</properties>```
