In order to reduce the focus on the deprecated @Required support, this
commit removes the RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor section and
replaces it with a TIP and an updated NOTE.

This commit updates the reference manual to point out that one may use
`.` instead of `$` as the nested class separator when providing a fully
qualified class name for a nested class in XML configuration.
This commit also updates the test for ClassUtils#forName to assert
support for `.` instead of `$`.
Closes gh-26540
This commit better aligns how URI variable placeholders are detected
in UriComponentsBuilder#encode (i.e. the pre-encoding of the literal
parts of a URI template) and how they are expanded later on.
The latter relies on a pattern that stops at the first closing '}'
which excludes the possibility for well-formed, nested placeholders
other than variables with regex syntax, e.g. "{year:\d{1,4}}".
UriComponentsBuilder#encode now also stops at the first closing '}' and
further ensures the placeholder is not empty and that it has '{' before
deciding to treat it as a URI variable.
Closes gh-26466
This commit aligns the documentation in the reference manual with the

This commit documents ApplicationContext initialization and shutdown
logging semantics for console output triggered in conjunction with the
Spring TestContext Framework.
Closes gh-25385
This commit introduces a new feature in the Spring TestContext
Framework (TCF) that provides support for recording application events
published in the ApplicationContext so that assertions can be performed
against those events within tests. All events published during the
execution of a single test are made available via the ApplicationEvents
API which allows one to process the events as a java.util.Stream.
The following example demonstrates usage of this new feature.
@SpringJUnitConfig(/* ... */)
@RecordApplicationEvents
class OrderServiceTests {
@Autowired
OrderService orderService;
@Autowired
ApplicationEvents events;
@Test
void submitOrder() {
// Invoke method in OrderService that publishes an event
orderService.submitOrder(new Order(/* ... */));
// Verify that an OrderSubmitted event was published
int numEvents = events.stream(OrderSubmitted.class).count();
assertThat(numEvents).isEqualTo(1);
}
}
To enable the feature, a test class must be annotated or meta-annotated
with @RecordApplicationEvents. Behind the scenes, a new
ApplicationEventsTestExecutionListener manages the registration of
ApplicationEvents for the current thread at various points within the
test execution lifecycle and makes the current instance of
ApplicationEvents available to tests via an @Autowired field in the
test class. The latter is made possible by a custom ObjectFactory that
is registered as a "resolvable dependency". Thanks to the magic of
ObjectFactoryDelegatingInvocationHandler in the spring-beans module,
the ApplicationEvents instance injected into test classes is
effectively a scoped-proxy that always accesses the ApplicationEvents
managed for the current test.
The current ApplicationEvents instance is stored in a ThreadLocal
variable which is made available in the ApplicationEventsHolder.
Although this class is public, it is only intended for use within the
TCF or in the implementation of third-party extensions.
ApplicationEventsApplicationListener is responsible for listening to
all application events and recording them in the current
ApplicationEvents instance. A single
ApplicationEventsApplicationListener is registered with the test's
ApplicationContext by the ApplicationEventsTestExecutionListener.
The SpringExtension has also been updated to support parameters of type
ApplicationEvents via the JUnit Jupiter ParameterResolver extension
API. This allows JUnit Jupiter based tests to receive access to the
current ApplicationEvents via test and lifecycle method parameters as
an alternative to @Autowired fields in the test class.
Closes gh-25616
Prior to this commit, the `SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster` would be
instrumented with the `ApplicationStartup` and start/stop events for
invoking event listeners (`spring.event.invoke-listener`).
This feature was already limited to single-threaded event publishers,
but is still flawed since several types of events can happen
concurrently. Due to the single-threaded nature of the startup sequence,
our implementation should not produce startup events concurrently.
This can cause issues like gh-26057, where concurrent events lead to
inconcistencies when tracking parent/child relationships.
This commit removes the `spring.event.invoke-listener` startup event as
a result.
Fixes gh-26057
This commit adds support for sending Server-Sent Events in WebMvc.fn,
through the ServerResponse.sse method that takes a SseBuilder DSL.
It also includes reference documentation.
Closes gh-25920
This commit introduces the following changes:
- Converters/codecs are now used based on generic type info.
- On WebMvc and WebFlux, kotlinx.serialization is enabled along
to Jackson because it only serializes Kotlin @Serializable classes
which is not enough for error or actuator endpoints in Boot as
described on spring-projects/spring-boot#24238.
TODO: leverage Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization#1164 when fixed.
Closes gh-26147
gh-19930 introduced support for finding class-level test configuration
annotations on enclosing classes when using JUnit Jupiter @Nested test
classes, but support for @DynamicPropertySource methods got overlooked
since they are method-level annotations.
This commit addresses this shortcoming by introducing full support for
@NestedTestConfiguration semantics for @DynamicPropertySource methods
on enclosing classes.
Closes gh-26091
The alternative is to use a filter but this makes it a little easier
and also guarantees that it will be downstream from all filters
regardless of their order, and therefore the Context will be visible
to all of them.

This commit introduces support for discovering @Sql, @SqlGroup,
@SqlConfig, and @SqlMergeMode on enclosing classes for @Nested test
classes in JUnit Jupiter.

Prior to this commit only Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED was supported for
disabling test-managed transactions via the `propagation` attribute of
`@Transactional`.
This commit allows users to specify Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED or
Propagation.NEVER to disable test-managed transactions.

This commit adds support for Kotlin Coroutines suspending functions to
Spring MVC, by converting those to a Mono that can then be handled by
the asynchronous request processing feature.
It also optimizes Coroutines detection with the introduction of an
optimized KotlinDetector.isSuspendingFunction() method that does not
require kotlin-reflect.
Closes gh-23611
Flow decoding is not supported yet since it depends on
kotlin/kotlinx.serialization#1073, but it will be
enabled when this issue will be fixed.
Closes gh-25771
Prior to this commit, the resource handler serving static resources for
Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux would always look at the
`Resource#lastModified` information, derive the `"Last-Modified"` HTTP
response header and support HTTP conditional requests with that
information.
In some cases, builds or packaging tools choose to set this last
modification date to a static date in the past. This allows tools to
have reproducible builds or to leverage caching given the static
resources content didn't change.
This can lead to problems where this static date (e.g. "1980-01-01") is
used literally in HTTP responses and will make the HTTP caching
mechanism counter-productive: the content of the resources changed, but
the application insists on saying it didn't change since the 80s...
This commit adds a new configuration option to disable this support -
there is no way to automatically discard those dates: there is no
standard for that and many don't use he "EPOCH 0 date" as it can lead to
compatibility issues with different OSes.
Closes gh-25845
This commit adds two overloaded methods for each HTTP method in the
WebFlux.fn and WebMvc.fn route builders: one method taking just a
handler function, the other a request predicate and handler function.
After this commit, it is no longer required to provide a String path,
which is particularly useful when nesting routes, and the path would be
"".
Closes gh-25752
Prior to this commit, the Asciidoctor Gradle tasks generated top-level
HTML and PDF documents for AsciiDoc files that are included in other
top-level documents. This causes slower builds and results in each
include-file being published twice:
1) inline in the including document (as intended)
2) as a top-level document but missing surrounding context (unintended)
The reason these include-files are generated as top-level documents is
that the asciidoctor and asciidoctorPdf Gradle tasks are configured to
use '*.adoc' as the input source files.
This commit addresses this issue by moving the following include-files
to new subdirectories. Locating the include-files in the subdirectories
causes them to be ignored in the '*.adoc' pattern used to identify
input source files.
- data-access-appendix.adoc -> data-access/data-access-appendix.adoc
- integration-appendix.adoc -> integration/integration-appendix.adoc
- testing-webtestclient.adoc -> testing/testing-webtestclient.adoc

This is the orginal "A bean is an object that is instantiated, assembled, and otherwise managed by a Spring IoC container". Here's an extra word of "otherwise".
This commit adds a new `StartupStep` interface and its factory
`ApplicationStartup`. Such steps are created, tagged with metadata and
thir execution time can be recorded - in order to collect metrics about
the application startup.
The default implementation is a "no-op" variant and has no side-effect.
Other implementations can record and collect events in a dedicated
metrics system or profiling tools. We provide here an implementation for
recording and storing steps with Java Flight Recorder.
This commit also instruments the Spring application context to gather
metrics about various phases of the application context, such as:
* context refresh phase
* bean definition registry post-processing
* bean factory post-processing
* beans instantiation and post-processing
Third part libraries involved in the Spring application context can
reuse the same infrastructure to record similar metrics.
Closes gh-24878
Prior to this commit, The "auto grow" feature in SpEL expressions only
worked for element types with a default constructor. For example, auto
grow did not work for a list of BigDecimal elements.
This commit inserts a null value in the list when no default
constructor can be found for the element type.

Because of security and broader industry support, support for several
remoting technologies is now deprecated and scheduled for removal in
Spring Framework 6.0.
This commit deprecates the following remoting technologies:
* HTTPInvoker
* RMI
* Hessian
* JMS remoting
Other remoting technologies like EJB or JAXWS might be deprecated in the
future depending on industry support.
Closes gh-25379
This commit introduces support for R2DBC ("Reactive Relational Database
Connectivity") with custom ConnectionFactory implementations, a
functional DatabaseClient for SQL execution, transaction management, a
bind marker abstraction database initialization utilities, and
exception translation.
Closes gh-25065
This commit introduces a change in reactive transaction semantics for
cancel signals. Canceling a subscription now rolls back a reactive transaction
to achieve a deterministic transaction outcome.
Previously, cancel signals committed a transaction which could
cause partially committed transactions depending on when the cancel happened.
TransactionAttribute now exposes a labels attribute that associates a
descriptive array of labels with a transaction.
Labels may be of a pure descriptive nature or may get evaluated by
transaction managers to associate technology-specific behavior
with the actual transaction.
This commit introduces support for setting the
spring.test.constructor.autowire.mode property via a JUnit Platform
configuration parameter -- for example, via the
junit-platform.properties file.
Closes gh-24285
Since the spring-framework.png file is not used in the generated
reference manual, this commit moves the spring-framework.png file from
the src/docs/asciidoc/images folder up to the src/docs folder.
As of gh-24952, `PathPatternParser` will strictly reject patterns with
`"**"` in the middle of them. `"**"` is only allowed at the end of the
pattern for matching multiple path segments until the end of the path.
Currently, if `"**"` is used in the middle of a pattern it will be
considered as a single `"*"` instead. Rejecting such cases should
clarify the situation.
This commit prepares for that upcoming change and:
* logs a warning message if such a case is used by an application
* expands the MVC and WebFlux documentation about URI matching in
general
Closes gh-24958
Prior to this commit, it was unclear in the documentation that a default
