Solve jjwt generation error
**
recently, when learning springboot + JWT + Vue, an error occurred while generating JWT. The error code is as follows:
2022-01-07 11:17:32.335 ERROR 9856 --- [nio-8083-exec-2] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].[dispatcherServlet] : Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Filter execution threw an exception] with root cause

Analysis error code: at com okwind.utils.JwtUtils. Generatetoken (jwtutils.Java: 31) ~ [classes/: Na] knows that the error occurred in jwtutils Generatetoken (jwtutils.Java: 31) is on line 31 of the tool class.
26 return Jwts.builder()
27 .setHeaderParam("typ", "JWT")
28 .setSubject(username)
29 .setIssuedAt(nowDate)
30 .setExpiration(expireDate)
31 .signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256, app_secret)
32 .compact();
It means that an exception occurred in generateToken() and it is related to SignatureAlgorithm.HS256.
after analysis, it is referenced:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
<artifactId>jjwt</artifactId>
<version>0.9.1</version>
</dependency>
jjwt version 0.91 is not supported for new JDK versions. There are two solutions.
Method 1: jdk drops to below 11.
Method 2: keep the jdk version unchanged from the higher version and introduce in pom.xml.

So far, the problem is solved.
