Fixes #17811
This updates the Spring Security 7 migration guide to explain an alternative way to handle servlet path prefixes in authorization rules.
In addition to the existing explicit
basePath("/mvc")example, the guide now shows how to configure a globalPathPatternRequestMatcher.Builderbean for applications that use the same servlet path across most authorization rules.The example uses
PathPatternRequestMatcher.withPathPatternParser(...)together withDispatcherServletPathso the configured servlet path is applied consistently when Spring Security builds request matchers from string-based authorization methods.Validation
