A recommended migration task for users moving from Impala 1.0 RC1 from earlier versions is to use the new Spring web namespace handler, instead of using the factory bean equivalents.
Backward incompatible changes made from 1.0M6 to 1.0 RC1 include:
In impala.properties, the property that was named spring.path.mapping.enabled has been changed to top.level.module.path.enabled as this is a more correct descriptive name. Do a search and replace to correct this.
Some of the functionality now present in the WebModuleBaseHandlerRegistration was previously present in a RequestModuleMapper implementation called TopLevelPathContainsModuleMapper. This functionality has been removed.
One of the module types in 1.0M6 was servlet. This module type has been renamed to web in Impala 1.0 RC1.
