Spring Framework 3.1 introduced an Environment abstraction with support
for hierarchical PropertySources that can be configured
programmatically as well as declaratively via the @PropertySource
annotation. However, prior to this commit, there was no way to
declaratively configure PropertySources in integration tests in the
Spring TestContext Framework (TCF).
This commit introduces declarative support for PropertySources in the
TCF via a new class-level @TestPropertySource annotation. This
annotation provides two options for declaring test property sources:
- The 'locations' attribute allows developers to declare external
resource locations for test properties files.
- The 'properties' attribute allows developers to declare inlined
properties in the form of key-value pairs.
Test properties files are added to the Environment before all other
property sources and can therefore override system and application
property sources. Similarly, inlined properties are added to the
Environment before all other property sources and can therefore
override system property sources, application property sources, and
test properties files.
Specifically, this commit introduces the following major changes:
- Introduced @TestPropertySource annotation along with internal
TestPropertySourceAttributes, MergedTestPropertySources, and
TestPropertySourceUtils for working with test property sources
within the TCF.
- All TestContextBootstrappers have been modified to support the
merged property resource locations and inlined properties from
@TestPropertySource.
- MergedContextConfiguration (and consequently the context caching
key) is now additionally based on the merged property resource
locations and inlined properties from @TestPropertySource. The same
applies to WebMergedContextConfiguration.
- AbstractContextLoader's prepareContext() method now adds
PropertySources for all resource locations and inlined properties
from the supplied MergedContextConfiguration to the Environment of
the supplied ApplicationContext. All subclasses of
AbstractGenericContextLoader and AbstractGenericWebContextLoader
therefore automatically provide support for @TestPropertySource.

This commit adds support for XML serialization/deserialization based on
the jackson-dataformat-xml extension. When using @EnableWebMvc or
<mvc:annotation-driven/>, Jackson will be used by default instead of JAXB2
if jackson-dataformat-xml classes are found in the classpath.
This commit introduces MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter and
MappingJackson2XmlView classes, and common parts between JSON
and XML processing have been moved to AbstractJackson2HttpMessageConverter
and AbstractJackson2View classes.
MappingJackson2XmlView supports serialization of a single object. If the model
contains multiple entries, MappingJackson2XmlView.setModelKey() should be
used to specify the entry to serialize.
Pretty print works in XML, but tests are not included since a Woodstox dependency
is needed, and it is better to continue testing spring-web and spring-webmvc
against JAXB2.

This release contains the following new features:
- The new @JsonAdapter annotation to specify a Json TypeAdapter for a
class field
- JsonPath support: JsonParser.getPath() method returns the JsonPath
expression
- New public methods in JsonArray (similar to the java.util.List):
contains(JsonElement), remove(JsonElement), remove(int index),
set(int index, JsonElement element)
- Many other smaller bug fixes

This commit configures the SonarRunner plugin so that SonarQube can
be used against the project. A few customizations were applied to
namely exclude the asm and cglib repackaged classes.

This commit also turns MessagingException into a NestedRuntimeException subclass which delivers a root message that has the cause message appended to it. That's a common expectation with the use of Spring exceptions since all of our exception hierarchies have historically been designed that way.

Analogous to HibernateTransactionManager, there is a "prepareConnection" flag on HibernateJpaDialect which allows for overriding the actual mode of operation. This is easily accessible from HibernateJpaVendorAdapter now which declares HibernateJpaDialect from its getJpaDialect() method.

Replace references to the old RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1) with references
to the new RFCs 7230 to 7235.
This commit also deprecates:
- HttpStatus.USE_PROXY
- HttpStatus.REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE in favor of HttpStatus.PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE
- HttpStatus.REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG in favor of HttpStatus.URI_TOO_LONG

This commit introduces the ability to specify an inline map in
an expression. The syntax is similar to inline lists and of
the form: "{key:value,key2:value}". The keys can optionally
be quoted. The documentation is also updated with information
on the syntax.
Issue: SPR-9472
Prior to this commit, given an enum which implements some interface,
GenericConversionService would select the String -> Enum converter even
if a converter for String -> SomeInterface was registered. This also
affected converters that were registered for String ->
SomeBaseInterface, when SomeInterface extended SomeBaseInterface.
This change modifies the behavior of the private method
getClassHierarchy() by placing Enum.class as late as possible, pretty
much the same way as Object.class is handled.
