Spring Framework 6.2 introduced support for an escape character for
property placeholders (by default '\'). However, as of Spring Framework
6.2.6, there was no way to either escape the escape character or disable
escape character support.
For example, given a `username` property configured with the value of
`Jane.Smith` and a `DOMAIN\${username}` configuration string, property
placeholder replacement used to result in `DOMAIN\Jane.Smith` prior to
6.2 but now results in `DOMAIN${username}`. Similarly, an attempt to
escape the escape character via `DOMAIN\\${username}` results in
`DOMAIN\${username}`.
In theory, one should be able to disable use of an escape character
altogether, and that is currently possible by invoking
setEscapeCharacter(null) on AbstractPropertyResolver and
PlaceholderConfigurerSupport (the superclass of
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer).
However, in reality, there are two hurdles.
- As of 6.2.6, an invocation of setEscapeCharacter(null) on a
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer applied to its internal
top-level PropertySourcesPropertyResolver but not to any nested
PropertySourcesPropertyResolver, which means that the `null` escape
character could not be effectively applied.
- Users may not have an easy way to explicitly set the escape character
to `null` for a PropertyResolver or
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer. For example, Spring Boot
auto-configures a PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer with the
default escape character enabled.
This first issue above has recently been addressed by gh-34861.
This commit therefore addresses the second issue as follows.
- To allow developers to easily revert to the pre-6.2 behavior without
changes to code or configuration strings, this commit introduces a
`spring.placeholder.escapeCharacter.default` property for use with
SpringProperties which globally sets the default escape character that
is automatically configured in AbstractPropertyResolver and
PlaceholderConfigurerSupport.
- Setting the property to an empty string sets the default escape
character to `null`, effectively disabling the default support for
escape characters.
spring.placeholder.escapeCharacter.default =
- Setting the property to any other character sets the default escape
character to that specific character.
spring.placeholder.escapeCharacter.default = ~
- Setting the property to a string containing more than one character
results in an exception.
- Developers are still able to configure an explicit escape character
in AbstractPropertyResolver and PlaceholderConfigurerSupport if they
choose to do so.
- Third-party components that wish to rely on the same feature can
invoke AbstractPropertyResolver.getDefaultEscapeCharacter() to obtain
the globally configured default escape character.

This commit documents the following Spring properties in the reference
manual.
- spring.aot.enabled
- spring.cache.reactivestreams.ignore
- spring.classformat.ignore
- spring.context.checkpoint
- spring.context.exit
Closes gh-31987
This commit introduces support for a Spring property named
`spring.context.expression.maxLength`. When set, the value of that
property is used internally in StandardBeanExpressionResolver to
configure the SpelParserConfiguration used when evaluating String
values in bean definitions, @Value, etc.
Closes gh-31952
This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links
into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain.
It notably homogenizes links to:
- IETF RFCs
- Java Community Process JSRs
- the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version)
- Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version)
- the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version)
This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a
Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather
than `docs-spring-boot`.
Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous
documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and
`modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.

Prior to this commit, if an error was encountered during build-time AOT
processing, the error was logged at WARN/DEBUG level, and processing
continued.
With this commit, test AOT processing now fails on error by default. In
addition, the `failOnError` mode can be disabled by setting the
`spring.test.aot.processing.failOnError` Spring/System property to
`false`.
Closes gh-30977
This commit improves how the build deals with javadoc invalid references
in two ways.
Link/see references that are temporarily invalid during javadoc
generation of individual modules are better masked by using the option
`Xdoclint:syntax` instead of `Xdoclint:none` (warnings were still
visible in some cases, e.g. when individually building the javadoc for
a specific module).
Global javadoc-building task `api` now combines `syntax` and `reference`
`Xdoclint` groups, allowing to raise truly invalid references even when
all the modules have been aggregated.
This commit also fixes the 20+ errors which appeared following the later
change in doclet configuration.
