Since the introduction of the AnnotationConfig(Web)ApplicationContext
types in Spring 3.0, it has been possible to specify a custom
bean name generation strategy via the #setBeanNameGenerator methods
available on each of these classes.
If specified, that BeanNameGenerator was delegated to the underlying
AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader and ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner. This
meant that any @Configuration classes registered or scanned directly
from the application context, e.g. via #register or #scan methods would
respect the custom name generation strategy as intended.
However, for @Configuration classes picked up via @Import or implicitly
registered due to being nested classes would not be aware of this
strategy, and would rather fall back to a hard-coded default
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator.
This change ensures consistent application of custom BeanNameGenerator
strategies in the following ways:
- Introduction of AnnotationConfigUtils#CONFIGURATION_BEAN_NAME_GENERATOR
singleton
If a custom BeanNameGenerator is specified via #setBeanNameGenerator
the AnnotationConfig* application contexts will, in addition to
delegating this object to the underlying reader and scanner, register
it as a singleton bean within the enclosing bean factory having the
constant name mentioned above.
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor now checks for the presence of this
singleton, falling back to a default AnnotationBeanNameGenerator if
not present. This singleton-based approach is necessary because it is
otherwise impossible to parameterize CCPP, given that it is
registered as a BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor bean definition
in AnnotationConfigUtils#registerAnnotationConfigProcessors
- Introduction of ConfigurationClassPostProcessor#setBeanNameGenerator
As detailed in the Javadoc for this new method, this allows for
customizing the BeanNameGenerator via XML by dropping down to direct
registration of CCPP as a <bean> instead of using
<context:annotation-config> to enable @Configuration class
processing.
- Smarter defaulting for @ComponentScan#beanNameGenerator
Previously, @ComponentScan's #beanNameGenerator attribute had a
default value of AnnotationBeanNameGenerator. The value is now the
BeanNameGenerator interface itself, indicating that the scanner
dedicated to processing each @ComponentScan should fall back to an
inherited generator, i.e. the one originally specified against the
application context, or the original default provided by
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor. This means that name generation
strategies will be consistent with a single point of configuration,
but that individual @ComponentScan declarations may still customize
the strategy for the beans that are picked up by that particular
scanning.

ServletServerHttpRequest now falls back on the contentType and the
the characterEncoding of the ServletRequest, if the headers of the
incoming request don't specify one. Similary ServletServerHttpResponse
sets the contentType and the characterEncoding of the ServletResponse
if not already set.
This allows using the CharacterEncodingFilter to set a character
encoding where the request doesn't specify one and have it be used
in HttpMessageConverter's.

Although the reference documentation listed the new @MVC support
classes and their benefits, it did not explicitly mention a few
use cases that are no longer supported. There is now a specific
section on the new support classes listing exactly what is not
supported.
Similary the @RequestMapping annotation never refered explicitly
to the existence of old and new support and never made it clear
exactly what the differences are.
Both have not been corrected.

Prior to this commit, StandardServletEnvironment's servlet context
PropertySource remained stubbed out until it the ServletContext became
available and could be replaced during the refresh() of its enclosing
WebApplicationContext. This behavior is acceptable in most cases.
However, if the user has declared an ApplicationContextInitializer that
attempts to access servlet context-params via the Environment API, this
result in a kind of 'false negative', i.e. the context-param key and
value are actually present in the ServletContext, but the PropertySource
representing servlet context params is still a stub at this point,
meaning that it returns an empty result in all cases.
With this change, WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources
is invoked eagerly by the ContextLoader if any ACI classes have been
declared. This swaps out the servlet context property source stub for
the real thing just in time for ACIs to use it if necessary.
Extra guard logic has been added to #initServletPropertySources to
ensure idempotency -- once the stub has been replaced, the method
never attempts the replacement again, e.g. during the normal context
refresh() when this method will be called again.
Issue: SPR-8991
- Perform early check whether any ACI classes have been declared and
exit immediately if not, avoiding any other processing
- Polish method names in ContextLoaderTests

A list of "known" session attributes (listed in @SessionAttributes)
was gradually built as attributes get added to the model. In a
failover scenario that knowledge is lost causing session attributes
to be potentially re-initialized via @ModelAttribute methods.
With this change @SessionAttributes listed by name are immediately
added to he list of "known" session attributes thus this knowledge
is not lost after a failover. Attributes listed by type however
still must be discovered as they get added to the model.
- Eliminate trailing whitespace
- Update long method signatures to follow framework whitespace
conventions
Based on the following search,
$ git grep -A3 '^.public .* .*([^\{;]*$' */src/main
the strong convention throughout the framework when dealing with
methods having long signatures (i.e. many parameters) is to break
immediately after the opening paren, indent two tabs deeper and break
lines around 90 characters as necessary. Such signatures should also
be followed by a newline after the opening curly brace to break
things up visually.
The files edited in this commit had a particularly different style of
intenting arguments to align with each other vertically, but the
alignment only worked if one's tabstop is set at four spaces.
When viewed at a different tabstop value, the effect is is jarring,
both in that it is misaligned and significantly different from most
of the framework. The convention described above reads well at any
tabstop value.
Prior to this change, roughly 5% (~300 out of 6000+) of files under the
source tree had CRLF line endings as opposed to the majority which have
LF endings.
This change normalizes these files to LF for consistency going forward.
Command used:
$ git ls-files | xargs file | grep CRLF | cut -d":" -f1 | xargs dos2unix

Prior to this fix, ContextLoader(Listener)'s would overwrite any
value set directly against a WebApplicationContext's #setConfigLocation
method. This is a likely scenario when using Spring 3.1's new
WebApplicationInitializer support.
Now a check is performed to ensure that the ContextLoader init-param
value is non-null before doing the overwriting.
Added tests to ensure that all expected precedence, overwriting and
defaulting of context config locations works as expected.
Issue: SPR-8510
This method allows a view to access the combined context path and
servlet mapping path for prefixing URLs without having to specify
the literal part of a servlet mapping such as "/main/*")
explicitly everywhere. For example:
${requestContext.pathToServlet}/css/main.css
The AbstractHttpMessageConverter was using the requested Content-Type
rather than the actual response Content-Type to determine the length
of the content. This can lead to a problem when a controller returns
a ResponseEntity with a Content-Type header that ignores (overrides)
the requested Content-Type. The fix ensures that actual response
Content-Type is the one used both to write to the response and to
determine the length of the content.
