Configuration changes for Spring Boot 4

Situation

Spring Boot Support

Support for Spring Boot 3.5 ends in June 2026, so we want to switch our products to Spring Boot 4 early in order to continue delivering security patches reliably.Switching to Spring Boot 4 requires an adjustment to XA Transaction Management in our product components. This mechanism ensures data consistency in distributed systems and during system crashes.

---

XA Transaction Management

Previously:
The XA Transaction Management used under Spring Boot 3 did not care whether the connected database natively supported XA transactions or not.
If it did not, the transaction manager emulated an XA transaction, even if the database itself did not support it.In the future:
The new XA Transaction Manager behaves more “honestly” and only works if the database actually supports XA transactions. Therefore, the transaction management must now be correctly informed whether the used data sources support XA transactions.

---

Am I affected?

Problematic database systems and versions:

• Microsoft SQL Server without a configured DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator), which is the case by default for Azure and the Express Edition. We strongly recommend enabling the DTC in this case.
• Old versions of MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL that no longer have LTS support:
  • MariaDB before 5.x (2010)
  • MySQL before 5.6 (2013)
  • PostgreSQL before 8.1 (2010)

---

How can I tell if I’m affected?

A warning during container startup with Output Organizer ≥ 2.20.2 and Dossier Organizer ≥ 2.3.2:

WARN 1 --- [neverpile fusion] [riodic Recovery] com.arjuna.ats.jta : ARJUNA016027: Local XARecoveryModule.xaRecovery got XA exception XAException.XAER_RMFAIL
javax.transaction.xa.XAException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Failed to create the XA control connection. Error: "Reference to database and/or server name in 'master..xp_sqljdbc_xa_init_ex' is not supported in this version of SQL Server."

---

Measures

We strongly recommend checking whether it is possible to enable distributed transactions on the database system being used, or switch in the medium term to a database that supports them.If a database does not support XA transactions, they can be disabled with the following setting:

organizer.db.jtaEnabled: false

However, this configuration should only be considered an emergency workaround. When disabled, transaction safety is limited, and data consistency can no longer be guaranteed in failure situations.

Helm impact of non-root images in worker-topdf

Attention: The ToPDF-Worker was updated to use a non-root base image to improve security.
For this reason configuration like the annotation profile where moved from /annotation/jwt-annotation-profile.xml to /app/annotation/jwt-annotation-profile.xml
For customers that override this configuration, please adjust the corresponding Helm values:
worker-topdf.worker.application.annotation.profiles: [ "file:/app/annotation/jwt-annotation-profile.xml" ]
and
worker-topdf.additionalConfigMaps[0].mountPath: /app/annotation/jwt-annotation-profile.xml

Color reproduction error in exported documents

A non-frequent problem with the color reproduction in exported documents has been solved by setting a more appropriate default readStrategy for the topdf conversion.
In addition the readStrategy( https://levigo.github.io/jadice-flow-documentation/docs/next/reference/WorkerInfo?worker-topdf) can now be configured using the jobtemplate configuration with Helm.
