Remediation
Red Hat statement
While there might be compatibility issues upgrading Spring REST Data independently of the Spring Boot version we recommend that customers make sure they are using a fixed version of Spring Data REST 2.6.9, or 3.0.1. RHOAR has now upgraded to version 1.5.10 of Spring Boot which is compatible with fixed versions of Spring DATA Rest.
