V14.7.0 Upgrade

Experience Manager (PaaS/OnPrem)
1

Hi All,

When I am trying to upgrade our application from v14.6.3 to v14.7.0 . I am facing below exception.

Changes done so far

  1. Updated bloomreach version in pom.xml from 14.6.3 to 14.7.0
  2. Updated Spring security version from 5.4.7 to 5.5.3

Apart from above listed changes, I haven’t done any.

Could you please provide any inputs ?

Hi Yeshwanth,

It’s strange that you are already on 14.6.3, because the error reminds me a lot of the changes towards 14.6, in which the CMS got Spring Boot. Could you check section “Handle Conflicting Spring Contexts” in https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/upgrade-minor-versions/upgrade-14.5-to-14.6.html?

HTH

@jeroen.hoffman

we have handled this as part of 14.6.0 upgrade step by adding “spring-boot” artifact exclusion to “hippo-package-cms-dependencies” artifact.

 <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.onehippo.cms7</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>

Ah right, now I understand, that artifact was renamed to xm-spring-boot-integration, see https://issues.onehippo.com/browse/CMS-14688

Please rename your exclusion accordingly, that should do it.

Changing the artifact name has resolved the issue. Thank you !!
