= Migrating to 6.0
The Spring Security team has prepared the 5.8 release to simplify upgrading to Spring Security 6.0.
Use 5.8 and the steps below to minimize changes when

== Servlet
=== Explicit Save SecurityContextRepository
In Spring Security 5, the default behavior is for the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-securitycontext[`SecurityContext`] to automatically be saved to the xref:servlet/authentication/persistence.adoc#securitycontextrepository[`SecurityContextRepository`] using the xref:servlet/authentication/persistence.adoc#securitycontextpersistencefilter[`SecurityContextPersistenceFilter`].
Saving must be done just prior to the `HttpServletResponse` being committed and just before `SecurityContextPersistenceFilter`.
Unfortunately, automatic persistence of the `SecurityContext` can surprise users when it is done prior to the request completing (i.e. just prior to committing the `HttpServletResponse`).
It also is complex to keep track of the state to determine if a save is necessary causing unnecessary writes to the `SecurityContextRepository` (i.e. `HttpSession`) at times.
In Spring Security 6, the default behavior is that the xref:servlet/authentication/persistence.adoc#securitycontextholderfilter[`SecurityContextHolderFilter`] will only read the `SecurityContext` from `SecurityContextRepository` and populate it in the `SecurityContextHolder`.
Users now must explicitly save the `SecurityContext` with the `SecurityContextRepository` if they want the `SecurityContext` to persist between requests.
This removes ambiguity and improves performance by only requiring writing to the `SecurityContextRepository` (i.e. `HttpSession`) when it is necessary.
To opt into the new Spring Security 6 default, the following configuration can be used.

[[requestcache-query-optimization]]
=== Optimize Querying of `RequestCache`
In Spring Security 5, the default behavior is to query the xref:servlet/architecture.adoc#savedrequests[saved request] on every request.
This means that in a typical setup, that in order to use the xref:servlet/architecture.adoc#requestcache[`RequestCache`] the `HttpSession` is queried on every request.
In Spring Security 6, the default is that `RequestCache` will only be queried for a cached request if the HTTP parameter `continue` is defined.
This allows Spring Security to avoid unnecessarily reading the `HttpSession` with the `RequestCache`.
In Spring Security 5 the default is to use `HttpSessionRequestCache` which will be queried for a cached request on every request.
If you are not overriding the defaults (i.e. using `NullRequestCache`), then the following configuration can be used to explicitly opt into the Spring Security 6 behavior in Spring Security 5.8:

=== Use `AuthorizationManager` for Method Security
xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc[Method Security] has been xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc#jc-enable-method-security[simplified] through {security-api-url}org/springframework/security/authorization/AuthorizationManager.html[the `AuthorizationManager` API] and direct use of Spring AOP.

[[servlet-replace-globalmethodsecurity-with-methodsecurity]]
==== Replace xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc#jc-enable-global-method-security[global method security] with xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc#jc-enable-method-security[method security]
{security-api-url}org/springframework/security/config/annotation/method/configuration/EnableGlobalMethodSecurity.html[`@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity`] and xref:servlet/appendix/namespace/method-security.adoc#nsa-global-method-security[`<global-method-security>`] are deprecated in favor of {security-api-url}org/springframework/security/config/annotation/method/configuration/EnableMethodSecurity.html[`@EnableMethodSecurity`] and xref:servlet/appendix/namespace/method-security.adoc#nsa-method-security[`<method-security>`], respectively.
The new annotation and XML element activate Spring's xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc#jc-enable-method-security[pre-post annotations] by default and use `AuthorizationManager` internally.
This means that the following two listings are functionally equivalent:
====
.Java
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
----
.Kotlin
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
----
.Xml
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<global-method-security pre-post-enabled="true"/>
----
====
and:
====
.Java
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableMethodSecurity
----
.Kotlin
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@EnableMethodSecurity
----
.Xml
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<method-security/>
----
====
For applications not using the pre-post annotations, make sure to turn it off to avoid activating unwanted behavior.
For example, a listing like:
====
.Java
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(securedEnabled = true)
----
.Kotlin
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(securedEnabled = true)
----
.Xml
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<global-method-security secured-enabled="true"/>
----
====
should change to:
====
.Java
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@EnableMethodSecurity(securedEnabled = true, prePostEnabled = false)
----
.Kotlin
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@EnableMethodSecurity(securedEnabled = true, prePostEnabled = false)
----
.Xml
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<method-security secured-enabled="true" pre-post-enabled="false"/>

==== Publish a `MethodSecurityExpressionHandler` instead of a `PermissionEvaluator`
`@EnableMethodSecurity` does not pick up a `PermissionEvaluator`.
This helps keep its API simple.
If you have a custom {security-api-url}org/springframework/security/access/PermissionEvaluator.html[`PermissionEvaluator`] `@Bean`, please change it from:
====
.Java
[source,java,role="primary"]

@Bean

[[servlet-check-for-annotationconfigurationexceptions]]
==== Check for ``AnnotationConfigurationException``s
`@EnableMethodSecurity` and `<method-security>` activate stricter enforcement of Spring Security's non-repeatable or otherwise incompatible annotations.
If after moving to either you see ``AnnotationConfigurationException``s in your logs, follow the instructions in the exception message to clean up your application's method security annotation usage.

=== Use `AuthorizationManager` for Method Security

==== Change `useAuthorizationManager` to `true`
In Spring Security 5.8, `useAuthorizationManager` was added to {security-api-url}org/springframework/security/config/annotation/method/configuration/EnableReactiveMethodSecurity.html[`@EnableReactiveMethodSecurity`] to allow applications to opt-in to ``AuthorizationManager``'s features.
To opt in, change `useAuthorizationManager` to `true` like so:
