Before this fix the q-value of media types in the Accept header were
ignored when using the new RequestMappingHandlerAdapter in combination
with @ResponseBody and HttpMessageConverters.

The Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) currently builds against TestNG
5.10. Thus in order to ensure that the TCF builds against the latest
release of TestNG without issues and in order to investigate the
possibility of integrating with newer TestNG features, we are upgrading to
version 6.5.2.
Note, however, that the Gradle build currently does not execute any TestNG
tests; this will be addressed in SPR-9398.
Issue: SPR-8221
Spring currently builds against JUnit 4.9; however, in order to ensure
that the Spring TestContext Framework builds and runs against JUnit 4.10
without issues and in order to investigate the possibility of integrating
with newer JUnit features, we are upgrading to JUnit 4.10.
Issue: SPR-9277
The MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter now catches all IOException
types raised while reading JSON and translates them into
HttpMessageNotReadableException.
Issue: SPR-9238
Previously RequestMappingHandlerMapping detected @RequestMapping
methods through an initApplicationContext() hook. However, the
HandlerMapping may not have been fully set up with all its
dependencies at that point including settings like useSuffixPattern
and others.
This change moves the detection @RequestMapping methods to an
InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() hook.
Issue: SPR-9371
This was supported in DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping but not in the
RequestMappingHandlerMapping. The specific scenario where this matters
is a controller decorated with a JDK proxy. In this scenario the
HandlerMapping looks at interfaces only to decide if the bean is a
controller. The @Controller annotation is better left (and required)
on the class.
Issue: SPR-9374
The ErrorsMethodArgumentResolver expects the preceding @ModelAttribute
in the controller method signature to be the last one added in the
model -- an assumption that can break if a model attribute is added
earlier (e.g. through a @ModelAttribute method) and more attributes
are added as well. This fix ensures when an @ModelAttribute is resolved
as a controller method argument it has the highest index in the model.
Issue: SPR-9378
Two tests in MockServletContextTests were disabled with @Ignore with the
comment "fails to work under ant after move from .testsuite -> .test";
however, this no longer appears to apply with the Gradle build. Thus
these tests have been re-enabled.
The JavaDoc in OpMultiply contained special characters that caused
problems when building with Java 7 on Mac OS X. The section symbol has
been replaced with the word "Section". Also improved class-level and
method-level JavaDoc in general.
Jackson serialization supports pretty printing. Usually it's enabled
by invoking ObjectMapper.configure(..), which is not convenient for
apps with XML configuration. The Jackson HttpMessageConverter and View
now both have a prettyPrint property.
A second more serious issue is documented here:
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/12
The workaround discussed at the above link has been implemented.
Issue: SPR-7201
Jackson 2 uses completely new package names and new maven artifact ids.
This change adds Jackson 2 as an optional dependency and also provides
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter and MappingJackson2JsonView for use
with the new version.
The MVC namespace and the MVC Java config detect and use
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter if Jackson 2 is present.
Otherwise if Jackson 1.x is present,
then MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter is used.

OSIV deferred close mode is not supported with async requests and is
unlikely to be what's the desired. This change adds an exception with
a message stating this.
Issue: SPR-8517
This change updates Open-Session-in-View filters and interceptors for
use in async requests mainly ensuring the open Hibernate session is
unbound from the main request processing thread and bound to the to
async thread.
Issue: SPR-8517
The fromUri method of UriComponentsBuilder used uri.getXxx() methods,
which decode the URI parts causing URI parsing issues. The same method
now uses uri.getRawXxx().
Issue: SPR-9317
Prior to this change, request-scoped components having
@Resource-injected dependencies caused a memory leak in
DefaultListableBeanFactory#dependenciesForBeanMap.
Consider the following example:
@Component
@Scope(value="request", proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public class MyComponent {
@Resource
private HttpServletRequest request;
// ...
}
The bean name for "MyComponent" will end up being
'scopedTarget.myComponent', which will become a key in
the #dependenciesForBeanMap structure.
On the first request, the injected HttpServletRequest bean will be a
proxy and will internally have a bean name of the form
"$Proxy10@1a3a2a52". This name will be added to the Set value associated
with the 'scopedTarget.myComponent' entry in #dependenciesForBeanMap.
On the second request, the process will repeat, but the injected
HttpServletRequest will be a different proxy instance, thus having a
different identity hex string, e.g. "$Proxy10@5eba06ff". This name will
also be added to the Set value associated with the
'scopedTarget.myComponent' entry in #dependenciesForBeanMap, and this
is the source of the leak: a new entry is added to the set on each
request but should be added only once.
This commit fixes the leak by introducing caching to
CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor#ResourceElement similar to that already
present in AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor#AutowiredFieldElement
and #AutowiredMethodElement. Essentially, each ResourceElement instance
now tracks whether it has been created, caches the ultimate value to be
injected and returns it eagerly if necessary. Besides solving the memory
leak, this has the side effect of avoiding unnecessary proxy creation.
This fix also explains clearly why injection into request-scoped
components using @Autowired never suffered this memory leak: because the
correct caching was already in place. Because @Resource is considerably
less-frequently used than @Autowired, and given that this particular
injection arrangement is relatively infrequent, it becomes
understandable how this bug has been present without being reported
since the introduction of @Resource support in Spring 2.5: developers
were unlikely to encounter it in the first place; and if they did, the
leak was minor enough (adding strings to a Set), that it could
potentially go unnoticed indefinitely depending on request volumes and
available memory.
Issue: SPR-9176
Prior to this commit, SpEL's OpPlus ('+' operator) would convert its
left and right operands to String directly via #toString calls.
This change ensures that operand values are delegated to any registered
converters, allowing for customization of the stringified output.
Note that the OpPlus constructor now throws IllegalArgumentException if
zero operands are supplied.
Issue: SPR-8308
Before this change there were numerous javadoc warnings being reported
while building Spring framework API.
This commit resolves most of the javadoc warnings, reducing the total
number from 265 to 103.
Issue: SPR-9113
Before this change javadoc in two classes had non-UTF-8 encoded
characters. This caused building Spring API to fail in Java 1.7.
Commit fixes this by replacing wrongly encoded characters with their
UTF-8 equivalents.
Issue: SPR-9097
When a controller returns a DeferredResult, the underlying async
request will eventually time out. Until now the default behavior was
to send a 503 (SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE). However, this is not desirable
in all cases. For example if waiting on an event, a timeout simply
means there is no new information to send.
To handle those cases a DeferredResult now accespts a timeout result
Object in its constructor. If the timeout occurs before the
DeferredResult is set, the timeout result provided to the constructor
is used instead.
Issue: SPR-8617
* Clarify semantics and behavior of AsyncWebRequest methods in most cases
making a best effort and not raising an exception if async processing
has completed for example due to a timeout. The startAsync() method is
still protected with various checks and will raise ISE under a number
of conditions.
* Return 503 (service unavailable) when requests time out.
* Logging improvements.
Issue: SPR-8517
From a programming model perspective, @RequestMapping methods now
support two new return value types:
* java.util.concurrent.Callable - used by Spring MVC to obtain the
return value asynchronously in a separate thread managed transparently
by Spring MVC on behalf of the application.
* org.springframework.web.context.request.async.DeferredResult - used
by the application to produce the return value asynchronously in a
separate thread of its own choosing.
The high-level idea is that whatever value a controller normally
returns, it can now provide it asynchronously, through a Callable or
through a DeferredResult, with all remaining processing --
@ResponseBody, view resolution, etc, working just the same but
completed outside the main request thread.
From an SPI perspective, there are several new types:
* AsyncExecutionChain - the central class for managing async request
processing through a sequence of Callable instances each representing
work required to complete request processing asynchronously.
* AsyncWebRequest - provides methods for starting, completing, and
configuring async request processing.
* StandardServletAsyncWebRequest - Servlet 3 based implementation.
* AsyncExecutionChainRunnable - the Runnable used for async request
execution.
All spring-web and spring-webmvc Filter implementations have been
updated to participate in async request execution.
The open-session-in-view Filter and interceptors implementations in
spring-orm will be updated in a separate pull request.

Previously depending on 1.5.10 in certain locations, which caused
NoClassDefFoundErrors in EhCacheCacheTests and other tests due to
mismatches between slf4j -api and -log4j12 versions.
With the exception of one transitive dependency via Hibernate 3.3.1.GA,
all slf4j dependencies are now pegged at 1.6.1 (and all tests pass).
Before this change, IDE settings generated via import-into-eclipse.sh
created a classpath dependency on slf4j-api version 1.6.1 and
slf4j-log4j12 version 1.5.10. As a result running tests inside the IDE
resulted in a NoSuchMethodException.
build.gradle sets the variable slf4jLog4jVersion to '1.5.10'. However,
the hibernate-validator dependency in spring-context pulls in
slf4j-api version 1.6.1. The change ensures the version specified in
the build script variable is used consistently. Whether it should be
1.5.10 or 1.6.1 is a separate concern.
- Spring remains compatible against AJ version 1.6.8, but is now
compiling and testing against 1.6.12
- Encountered what appears to be an AJ bug introduced in 1.6.10: an
assertion in org.aspectj.weaver.UnresolvedType causes a false
negative failure when encountering org.springframework.io.Resource
arrays, e.g. "[org.springframework.io.Resource@xxx". This problem
has been reported to the AJ team and in the meantime, the recommended
workaround is to disable assertions either completely, or at least
selectively with
-disableassertions:org.aspectj.weaver.UnresolvedType
Issue: SPR-7989, SPR-9272
- Fix deprecation warnings about dynamic properties; favor use of
"extra properties extensions" per [1]
- Certain such deprecations are still issued due to violations within
the docbook-reference plugin. These will be fixed in an upcoming
revision of the plugin, at which point spring-framework will upgrade
to depend on it and these warnings will be eliminated

Issue: SPR-9327
The new @MVC support classes select a HandlerMethodArgumentResolver
and a HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler statically, i.e. based on
the signature of the method, which means that a controller method
can't declare a more general return type like Object but actually
return a more specific one, e.g. String vs RedirectView, and
expect the right handler to be used.
The fix ensures that a HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler is selected
based on the actual return value type, which is something that was
supported with the old @MVC support classes. One consequence
of the change is the selected HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler can
no longer be cached but that matches the behavior of the old
@MVC support classes.

Previously 'Content-Disposition' was passed to Part.getHeader(String).
However the Javadoc for that method specifies the header should be
case insensitive. Note that the JavaDoc in tomcat-servlet-api doesn't
mention this. It can only be found in the official api JavaDoc:
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/servlet-3.0-fr-oth-JSpec/
Issue: SPR-9149
Invalid Content-Type or Accept header values previously resulted in the
IllegalArgumentException getting propagated. After this change such
errors are detected and generally treated as a "no match", which
may for example result in a 406 in the case of the Accept header.
Issue: SPR-9148
A custom RequestCondition which can be provided by overriding methods
in RequestMappingHandlerMapping worked only for conditions that match
and did not return null (as it should have) for conditions that don't
match.

Copy spring-*-3.1.xsd => spring-*-3.2.xsd; this commit introduces no
substantive changes, but rather prepares for them by creating a clean
baseline. All internal references to 3.1 schemas (e.g. spring-tool) have
also been updated.
