Spring Module Release Notes

Guide: Spring Module User Guide

2.2.0

October 22, 2026

What’s New

  • Spring Module now supports Spring Framework 7 and Spring Security 7 through the new spring:v7-config global element. For the required library setup steps, see Set Up Spring 7 Libraries in the pom.xml File.

    • spring:v7-config requires Spring Framework 7.0.9 and Spring Security 7.1.1. If a different Spring major version is loaded, the configuration fails at startup with a descriptive error.

    • The spring-security-access library is an optional dependency of spring:v7-config. Spring Security 7 moved the legacy access API classes into this library, so add it only if your application uses those classes. To determine whether your application is affected, see Access API moves to spring-security-access.

  • The spring:config global element, which uses Spring Framework 6.2.19 and Spring Security 6.5.11, is deprecated.

  • A Mule application can’t use configurations of two different Spring Framework major versions at the same time. If an application defines both spring:config and spring:v7-config, validation fails.

2.0.0

July 30, 2025

What’s New

  • Spring Module (and its dependencies) are now compilable and compatible only with Java 17.

  • To align with modern development practices and ensure continued compatibility with secure and supported libraries, Spring Module is upgraded from Spring 5.x to Spring 6.x.

  • The structure of the spring:security-manager element is updated to resolve validation issues with the DSL. Previously, delegate-security-providers could be defined directly within spring:security-manager. Now, all spring:delegate-security-provider elements must be wrapped within a new spring:delegate-security-providers element.

    • Old structure (no longer supported):

      <spring:security-manager doc:name="Spring Security Manager">
   <spring:delegate-security-provider name="memory-provider" delegate-ref="authenticationManager" />
</spring:security-manager>

    • New structure (required):

      <spring:security-manager doc:name="Spring Security Manager">
   <spring:delegate-security-providers>
     <spring:delegate-security-provider name="memory-provider" delegate-ref="authenticationManager" />
   </spring:delegate-security-providers>
</spring:security-manager>
