This is a major upgrade from version 4.x to 7.x, which includes multiple significant and breaking changes. A direct upgrade is not recommended without careful code modification and testing.

Breaking Changes in Javalin 5.0

• Java 11 Required: Support for Java 8 has been dropped. The minimum required version is now Java 11 due to an upgrade to Jetty 11.
• Configuration Rework: Configuration has been significantly refactored. Many options previously in Javalin.create { config } have been moved into sub-configs (e.g., config.http, config.router).
• Context API Changes: Context is now an interface, and several methods were renamed or removed, requiring code updates.
  • ctx.req and ctx.res are now methods: ctx.req() and ctx.res().
  • ctx.resultString() is now ctx.result().
  • ctx.resultFuture() has been removed.
• Moved Modules: Template engines have been moved to a separate javalin-rendering artifact.

Breaking Changes in Javalin 6.0

• AccessManager Removed: The AccessManager interface has been removed and replaced by a new security approach, which requires migration.
• Plugin System Rewrite: The plugin system was completely rewritten.
• Jetty Configuration: The API for configuring the embedded Jetty server has been reworked.
• Virtual Threads: These are now opt-in instead of enabled by default.

Breaking Changes in Javalin 7.0

• Java 17 Required: The minimum required Java version has been increased to 17.
• Jetty 12 Upgrade: Javalin now uses Jetty 12, which introduces its own set of changes.
• Namespace Change: Following the Java ecosystem, dependencies have moved from the javax.* to the jakarta.* namespace.

Recommendation: This upgrade spans three major versions with substantial breaking changes. It will require significant code refactoring and thorough testing. Review the official migration guides for each major version before proceeding.
