How to upgrade Spring Framework to patched version with Camunda 7.13

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hello,

I’m running into issues with build project with the recently patched version of Spring 5.3.18 or Spring 5.2.20.RELEASE, on Camunda 7.13. I am compiling with JDK8.

Some dependencies are:

<properties>
    <camunda.version>7.13.0</camunda.version>
    <spring.framework.version>5.3.18</spring.framework.version>
    <h2.version>1.2.132</h2.version>
    <servlet-api.version>3.1.0</servlet-api.version>
    <mariadb-java-client.version>2.7.2</mariadb-java-client.version>
    <mysql-connector.version>8.0.16</mysql-connector.version>
    <tomcat-catalina.version>9.0.33</tomcat-catalina.version>
    <maven-compiler-plugin.version>3.6.1</maven-compiler-plugin.version>
    <maven-dependency-plugin.version>3.0.1</maven-dependency-plugin.version>
  </properties>

The current functional version of Spring for the project is: 4.3.23.RELEASE

Changing to Spring 5.3.18 produces multiple dependencies within the project with spring-mvc

Is there a proper roadmap/how-to for upgrade Spring for users of Camunda 7.13?

And is there a mitigation plan for customers that cannot upgrade to the latest Camunda version in current time?

Would much appreciate the help.

Thanks
