Upgrade notes

Spring Integration 7.0.6+ introduced a security fix that restricts DefaultJmsHeaderMapper's inbound property mapping to an explicit allowlist, which defaults to only the content_type property. Remote chunking and remote partitioning over JMS rely on Spring Integration's correlationId, sequenceNumber and sequenceSize message headers to match replies from workers back to the manager's reply aggregator. As user-defined JMS properties, these headers were no longer mapped back into message headers by default, causing jobs to hang or fail with IllegalStateException: Null correlation not allowed.

If you use remote chunking or remote partitioning over JMS, configure your Jms.messageDrivenChannelAdapter beans with a header mapper that maps these headers:

Jms.messageDrivenChannelAdapter(connectionFactory)
     .headerMapper(new DefaultJmsHeaderMapper("*"))
     .destination("replies")

If mapping all headers is too permissive for your security requirements, restrict the allowlist to just what Spring Batch needs:
new DefaultJmsHeaderMapper("correlationId", "sequenceNumber", "sequenceSize").
