Description

As a project wide initiative the portfolio is looking into support for Project CRaC which allows JVM snapshots to be taken and then restored for faster startup times.

We will need to ensure that file handles are closed which are:

  • Database connections (likely to happen in Spring Framework)
  • LDAP Connections (likely to happen in Spring LDAP)
  • Ensure we update to the new Lifecycle methods proposed in Spring Frameworks support.

Research direction

Start with the project-wide initiative in issue 29921 and determine which Spring Security components participate in JVM snapshot and restore. Check the database and LDAP connection items and the proposed Spring Framework lifecycle methods; done requires resolving the listed compatibility work or documenting what belongs in other projects.
