Migration Path

• Security Updates.

  • Roles and Privilege initialisation has been moved from serverside\src\main\java\{projectName}\configs\security\SecurityConfig.java into serverside\src\main\java\{projectName}\configs\security\data\RolesAndPrivileges.java. Any customisations made to this will need to be migrated to the new location.
  • Test user creation has been moved from serverside\src\main\java\{projectName}\configs\security\SecurityConfig.java to serverside\src\main\java\{projectName}\configs\security\data\TestUsers.java. Any customisations made to this will need to be migrated to the new location.

• Update your application to use Gradle 6.4.1. Run gradle wrapper --gradle-version 6.4.1 inside of your serverside directory.
