<title>Migrating to Spring Framework 3.1</title>
<para>In this appendix we discuss what users will want to know when upgrading to
Spring Framework 3.1. For a general overview of features, please see
<xref linkend="new-in-3.1"/></para>
<section xml:id="migration-3.1-component-scan">
<title>Component scanning against the "org" base package</title>
<para>Spring Framework 3.1 introduces a number of <literal>@Configuration</literal>
classes such as <literal>org.springframework.cache.annotation.ProxyCachingConfiguration
</literal> and
<literal>org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.ProxyAsyncConfiguration</literal>.
Because <literal>@Configuration</literal> is ultimately meta-annotated with Spring's
<literal>@Component</literal> annotation, these classes will inadvertently be scanned
and processed by the container for any component-scanning directive against the
unqualified "org" package, e.g.:
<programlisting language="xml">
&lt;context:component-scan base-package="org"/&gt;</programlisting>
Therefore, in order to avoid errors like the one reported in <link
xl:href="https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-9843">SPR-9843</link>,
any such directives should be updated to at least one more level of qualification e.g.:
<programlisting language="xml">
&lt;context:component-scan base-package="org.xyz"/&gt;</programlisting>
Alternatively, an <literal>exclude-filter</literal> may be used. See
<link linkend="beans-scanning-filters"><literal>context:component-scan</literal></link>
documentation for details.</para>
