Make subpackage recursion explicit in the Jackson JAX-RS JSON rename - #1185
Merged
Conversation
`com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json` -> `com.fasterxml.jackson.jakarta.rs.json`
omits `recursive` while depending on it, so types in the `.annotation`
subpackage were never migrated.
Verified against the published artifacts:
jackson-jaxrs-json-provider 2.14.3 -> jackson-jakarta-rs-json-provider 2.15.4
com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.annotation -> com.fasterxml.jackson.jakarta.rs.json.annotation
The subpackage maps exactly under prefix substitution, so recursion is both
safe and required here.
The existing tests could not catch this. `ChangePackage.recursive` is
`@Nullable` with no documented default, and a null was read as non-recursive
by the recipe's preconditions but as recursive by its visitor, so a subpackage
type was renamed only for files that also referenced a type sitting directly
in `oldPackageName`. The new test imports only `...jaxrs.json.annotation.JSONP`
and fails without this change.

com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.annotationcom.fasterxml.jackson.jakarta.rs.json.annotationThe subpackage maps exactly under prefix substitution, so recursion is both safe and required here.
I audited the other 18
recursive-omitting rules in this repo the same way (the DataNucleus set,org.apache.shiro.codec,javax.annotation.security/.sql,javax.security.cert,org.apache.commons.fileupload2.jakarta.servlet5, …) and they are all leaf packages, so this is the only one that needs changing. Two are deliberately left non-recursive because recursion would be wrong:com.alibaba.fastjson→com.alibaba.fastjson2(only.annotationhas a counterpart; fastjson2 has no.parser/.serializer/.support.*), andcom.sun.net.ssl→javax.net.ssl(no.internalcounterpart).Why the tests didn't catch this
ChangePackage.recursiveis@Nullablewithrequired = falseand no documented default, and a null was read two different ways inside the same recipe: non-recursive by its preconditions, recursive by its visitor. The upshot is that a subpackage type gets renamed only if the file also references a type sitting directly inoldPackageName— which every existing fixture happens to do. A real source file importing only the subpackage type was never migrated.recursiveconsistently mean non-recursive inChangePackagerewrite#8382 settles null as non-recursive, which is what surfaced it; I found this while auditing declarativeChangePackageusages against the published artifacts.Verification
./gradlew testgreen. Each new test fails without therecursive: trueline and passes with it. Correct on its own merits and safe to merge now, independently of rewrite#8382.
