This upgrade to Vert.x 4.x involves two major version updates with significant breaking changes that require mandatory code modifications. Both vertx-core and vertx-web-api-contract have undergone fundamental API changes.

io.vertx:vertx-core (3.9.12 → 4.0.0)

This is a major upgrade with several breaking changes to core components:

• Asynchronous Operations: Vert.x 4 introduces a Future-based model for asynchronous operations alongside the classic callback approach. The Future.completer() method has been removed, as Future now directly implements the Handler interface. [1]
• HTTP Client: The HttpClientRequest.connectionHandler() method has been removed. You must now use HttpClient.connectionHandler() to set a connection handler for client requests. [1]
• WebSockets: The synchronous HttpServerRequest.upgrade() method is removed. The new asynchronous HttpServerRequest.toWebSocket() method should be used instead. [1]
• Stream API: The write() and end() methods on WriteStream are no longer fluent and now return void, which breaks method chaining. [1]
• Event Bus: MessageProducer no longer extends WriteStream, and its send() methods have been removed in favor of write(). [1]

io.vertx:vertx-web-api-contract (3.9.12 → 4.4.1)

This module has been largely replaced, requiring a migration to new modules:

• Module Replacement: Functionality from vertx-web-api-contract has been split. For OpenAPI-based development, you must migrate to vertx-web-openapi. For general HTTP request validation, use the new vertx-web-validation module. [1, 8]
• Migration Path: The official migration guide explicitly states that applications using vertx-web-api-service must migrate to the vertx-web-openapi module, as it does not support the old vertx-web-api-contract. [1]

Recommendation: These upgrades will require significant refactoring. Developers must carefully follow the official Vert.x 3 to 4 migration guide to adapt their applications to the new APIs and modules. A simple version bump will result in compilation and runtime errors.
