+ remove generic signature on key generator (as the type is not used anywhere)
+ add a small improvement to CacheAspect to nicely handle the cases where the aspect is pulled in but not configured
ContextLoader and FrameworkServlet now use
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator to support @Order usage; previously
supported only implementation of the Ordered interface.
Calls to AbstractApplicationContext#setParent delegate the parent
context environment to the child.
This ensures that any property sources added to the parent are available
to the child as well as ensuring that any profiles activated are
activated everywhere.
Child contexts may still choose to replace their environment (through an
ApplicationContextInitializer, for example). In any case, however, in
the root/child web application context relationship established by
ContextLoader + DispatcherServlet, the child is guaranteed to have
already been given the parent environment by the time it is delegated
to any ACIs.
See AbstractApplicationContext#setParent for implementation
See FrameworkServlet#createWebApplicationContext for order in which
setParent then initializeWebApplicationContext are called.

AnnotationConfigApplicationContext and
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext both expose #register and #scan
methods as of the completion of SPR-8320. This change introduces a new
interface that declares each of these methods and refactors ACAC and
ACWAC to implement it.
Beyond information value, this is useful for implementors of the
ApplicationContextInitializer interface, in that users may create an ACI
that works consistently across ACAC and ACWAC for standalone (e.g.
testing, batch) or web (e.g. production) use.

FrameworkServlet now has support equivalent to ContextLoader and its
"contextInitializerClasses" context-param introduced in 3.1 M1.
This allows users to specify ApplicationContextInitializers at the root
(ContextLoader) level and/or at the DispatcherServlet level.
Issue: SPR-8366
The following is now possible:
@Configuration
public class AppConfig {
@Inject DataSource dataSource;
@Bean
public MyBean myBean() {
return new MyBean(dataSource);
}
@Configuration
static class DatabaseConfig {
@Bean
DataSource dataSource() {
return new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder().build();
}
}
}
public static void main(String... args) {
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx =
new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(AppConfig.class);
ctx.getBean(MyBean.class); // works
ctx.getBean(DataSource.class); // works
}
Notice that the @Import annotation was not used and that only AppConfig
was registered against the context. By virtue of the fact that
DatabaseConfig is a member class of AppConfig, it is automatically
registered when AppConfig is registered. This avoids an awkward and
redundant @Import annotation when the relationship is already implicitly
clear.
See @Configuration Javadoc for details.

- removed generics from Cache/CacheManager (they add no value since it's an SPI not API)
+ update docs and tests
+ renamed ConcurrentCacheFactoryBean to ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean
Revert signature of
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor#processConfigBeanDefinitions to its form
found in the 3.0.x line. Refactorings made during 3.1 development
caused otherwise package-private types such as
ConfigurationClassBeanDefinitionReader to escape through this public
method, causing issues for STS as well as being a general design issue.
Upon review, the refactorings could easily be backed out in favor of a
simpler approach, and this has been done.
This also means that ConfigurationClassBeanDefinitionReader can return
to package-private visibility, and this change has been made as well.
Issue: SPR-8200
A subtle issue existed with the way we relied on isCurrentlyInCreation
to determine whether a @Bean method is being called by the container
or by user code. This worked in most cases, but in the particular
scenario laid out by SPR-8080, this approach was no longer sufficient.
This change introduces a ThreadLocal that contains the factory method
currently being invoked by the container, such that enhanced @Bean
methods can check against it to see if they are being called by the
container or not. If so, that is the cue that the user-defined @Bean
method implementation should be invoked in order to actually create
the bean for the first time. If not, then the cached instance of
the already-created bean should be looked up and returned.
See ConfigurationClassPostConstructAndAutowiringTests for
reproduction cases and more detail.
Issue: SPR-8080
If the enclosing environment does not implement ConfigurableEnvironment,
then @PropertySource annotations are ignored because there is no way to
add them to the Environment. Now checking first to see if there are any
@PropertySource annotations present before issuing the warning.
Issue: SPR-8314
Allows a convenient mechanism for contributing a PropertySource to the
enclosing Spring Environment. See @PropertySource Javadoc for
complete details and PropertySourceAnnotationTests for examples.
Issue: SPR-8314
Users may now call #setRequiredProperties(String...) against the
Environment (via its ConfigurablePropertyResolver interface) in order
to indicate which properties must be present.
Environment#validateRequiredProperties() is invoked by
AbstractApplicationContext during the refresh() lifecycle to perform
the actual check and a MissingRequiredPropertiesException is thrown
if the precondition is not satisfied.
Issue: SPR-8323
Declaring @Bean methods as 'static' is now permitted, whereas previously
it raised an exception at @Configuration class validation time.
A static @Bean method can be called by the container without requiring
the instantiation of its declaring @Configuration class. This is
particularly useful when dealing with BeanFactoryPostProcessor beans,
as they can interfere with the standard post-processing lifecycle
necessary to handle @Autowired, @Inject, @Value, @PostConstruct and
other annotations.
static @Bean methods cannot recieve CGLIB enhancement for scoping and
AOP concerns. This is acceptable in BFPP cases as they rarely if ever
need it, and should not in typical cases ever be called by another
@Bean method. Once invoked by the container, the resulting bean will
be cached as usual, but multiple invocations of the static @Bean method
will result in creation of multiple instances of the bean.
static @Bean methods may not, for obvious reasons, refer to normal
instance @Bean methods, but again this is not likely a concern for BFPP
types. In the rare case that they do need a bean reference, parameter
injection into the static @Bean method is technically an option, but
should be avoided as it will potentially cause premature instantiation
of more beans that the user may have intended.
Note particularly that a WARN-level log message is now issued for any
non-static @Bean method with a return type assignable to BFPP. This
serves as a strong recommendation to users that they always mark BFPP
@Bean methods as static.
See @Bean Javadoc for complete details.
Issue: SPR-8257, SPR-8269
Prior to this change, @ComponentScan annotations were only processed at
the first level of depth. Now, the set of bean definitions resulting
from each declaration of @ComponentScan is checked for configuration
classes that declare @ComponentScan, and recursion is performed as
necessary.
Cycles between @ComponentScan declarations are detected as well. See
CircularComponentScanException.
Issue: SPR-8307
Introduce @EnableAsync#order
AsyncAnnotationBeanPostProcessor's 'order' property is now mutable;
@EnableAsync's 'order()' attribute allows for setting it, but must
have a default value, thus uses the new Ordered#NOT_ORDERED
constant - a reserved negative number very unlikely to be otherwise
used that may be interpreted as 'not ordered', useful in annotation
defaulting scenarios where null is not an option.
Introduce first working cut of AsyncConfiguration
Remove AsyncCapability
