- <h1>Upgrading from 0.8.0 to 1.0.0</h1>
- <p>
- The following should help most casual users of the project update their
- applications:
- <ul>
- <li>The most significant change in 0.9.0 is that <code>ContextHolder</code> and all of its
- related classes have been removed. This significant change was made for the sake of consistency
- with the core Spring project's approach of a single <code>ThreadLocal</code> per use case,
- instead of a shared <code>ThreadLocal</code> for multiple use cases as the previous
- <code>ContextHolder</code> allowed. <b>This is an important change in 0.9.0.</b> Many applications
- will need to modify their code (and possibly web views) if they directly interact with the old
- <code>ContextHolder</code>. The replacement security <code>ThreadLocal</code> is called
- <a href="../multiproject/acegi-security/xref/net/sf/acegisecurity/context/SecurityContextHolder.html">
- SecurityContextHolder</a> and provides a single getter/setter for a
- <a href="../multiproject/acegi-security/xref/net/sf/acegisecurity/context/SecurityContextHolder.html">SecurityContext</a>.
- <code>SecurityContextHolder</code> guarantees to never return a <cod>null</code> <code>SecurityContext</code>.
- <code>SecurityContext</code> provides single getter/setter for <code>Authentication</code>.<BR><BR>
-
- To migrate, simply modify all your code that previously worked with <code>ContextHolder</code>,
- <code>SecureContext</code> and <code>Context</code> to directly call <code>SecurityContextHolder</code>
- and work with the <code>SecurityContext</code> (instead of the now removed <code>Context</code>
- and <code>SecureContext</code> interfaces).<br><br>
-
- We apologise for the inconvenience, but on a more positive note this means you receive strict
- type checking, you no longer need to mess around with casting to and from <code>Context</code>
- implementations, your applications no longer need to perform checking of <code>null</code> and
- unexpected <code>Context</code> implementation types, and the new <code>SecurityContextHolder</code>
- is an <code>InheritableThreadLocal</code> - which should make life easier in rich client
- environments.<br><br></li>
- <li>AbstractProcessingFilter has changed its getter/setter approach used for customised
- authentication exception directions. See the <a href="../multiproject/acegi-security/xref/net/sf/acegisecurity/ui/AbstractProcessingFilter.html">
- AbstractProcessingFilter JavaDocs</a> to learn more.<br><br></li>
-
- <li>AnonymousProcessingFilter now has a removeAfterRequest property, which defaults to true. This
- will cause the anonymous authentication token to be set to null at the end of each request, thus
- avoiding the expense of creating a HttpSession in HttpSessionContextIntegrationFilter. You may
- set this property to false if you would like the anoymous authentication token to be preserved,
- which would be an unusual requirement.<br><br></li>

- </ul>
