spring compatibility with javax servlet

Question

How to understand the compatible versions of javax-servlet-api and hibernate for each version of spring. Most times, when I upgrading the spring version, I am getting error due to version incompatibility of javax-servlte-api and hibernate.

Answer 1

I was recently looking for similar info and stumbled on this links which give some pointers/minimum dependencies while migrating from earlier version of Spring to later versions. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

You may not be using Spring Boot directly, but a decent way to do this would be to look at the dependencies defined by Spring Boot for the version you are using. Spring Boot includes a spring-boot-dependencies project, which does this.

You can look through the history of the dependencies at GitHub:

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-dependencies/pom.xml

Just find the version which uses the core Spring version you are on and take note of the versions.
