Release Notes 2.8
What’s New
Support for Java 25 and Apache Tomcat 11
With this version of smart.finder, Java 25 and Apache Tomcat 11 are additionally supported. Support for Java 17 is no longer available.
Support for map.app 4.20
This version of smart.finder supports map.apps version 4.20 and higher (LTSS version). It is no longer possible to use map.apps versions lower than 4.20.
Separate storage of secrets
To separate secrets from the application configuration, you can now create the file secrets.properties alongside the file application.properties in the {product_name}.
You should store configuration parameters with sensitive information such as passwords in this file, while non-sensitive configuration parameters remain in the file application.properties.
This increases security because the file secrets.properties can be protected and managed separately.
We recommend moving the following configuration parameters from the file application.properties to the file secrets.properties:
-
secret.security.user.admin.pw -
mailing.password
