Publishing to Maven Central requires spring-boot-starter-parent to
declare its license and developers. When a user then uses
spring-boot-starter-parent as their project's parent, these values
are inherited and this is almost certainly unwanted.
This commit updates the documentation to recommend and demonstrate
overriding the license and developers that are inherited from the
starter parent.
Closes gh-18532
Previously, the security risks and our recommendations on how to
mitigate them were not documented as clearly as they could have been.
This commit makes some changes to try to address this:
1. The security risk is now noted at the beginning of the section
2. The recommendation to use SSL is now documented more prominently
and an alternative recommendation to only use remote support on
a trusted network has been added.
3. The example secret has been removed to prevent copy and paste
4. A recommendation to use a secret that is unique and strong has been
added
Closes gh-18825
Prior to this commit, all supported servers would share the same
configuration property `server.connection-timeout`. Unfortunately, in
many cases the behavior of this timeout changes depending on the server.
From actual connection setup timeout, to detecting and closing idle
connections, this property cannot be properly translated from one server
implementation to another.
This commit deprecates this configuration property and introduces server
specific properties:
* `server.jetty.connection-idle-timeout`
(Time that the connection can be idle before it is closed.)
* `server.netty.connection-timeout`
(Connection timeout of the Netty channel.)
* `server.tomcat.connection-timeout`
(Amount of time the connector will wait, after accepting a connection,
for the request URI line to be presented.)
* `server.undertow.no-request-timeout`
(Amount of time a connection can sit idle without processing a request,
before it is closed by the server.)
`server.connection-timeout` is now deprecated and will be removed in a
future release.
Fixes gh-18473
This commit adds a note to spring-boot-features.adoc to clarify that
using javadoc tags to format configuration property descriptions is not
supported.
See gh-18578
Update the MockMvc documentation to provide more details about the
pros and cons of such an approach, specifically calling out the
difference with error page handling.
