Although EvaluationContext defines the API for setting and looking up
variables, the internals of the Spring Expression Language (SpEL)
actually provide explicit support for registering functions as
variables.
This is self-evident in the two registerFunction() variants in
StandardEvaluationContext; however, functions can also be registered as
variables when using the SimpleEvaluationContext.
Since custom functions are also viable in use cases involving the
SimpleEvaluationContext, this commit documents that functions may be
registered in a SimpleEvaluationContext via setVariable().
This commit also explicitly documents the "function as a variable"
behavior in the class-level Javadoc for both StandardEvaluationContext
and SimpleEvaluationContext, as well as in the reference manual.

This commit focuses on improving the AOT section on programmatic
registration of additional beans. This makes it more clear that a
`BeanDefinitionRegistry` must be used and that singletons are not
processed.

As a bit of trivia, Jakarta EL was originally Unified EL, which was
originally JSP EL, which was originally SPEL.
SPEL: Simplest Possible Expression Language
SpEL: Spring Expression Language
So one could say that SPEL inspired SpEL.
If multiple request mapping annotations are discovered, Spring MVC and
Spring WebFlux now log a warning similar to the following (without
newlines).
Multiple @RequestMapping annotations found on
void org.example.MyController.put(), but only the first will be used:
[
@org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PutMapping(consumes={}, headers={}, name="", params={}, path={"/put"}, produces={}, value={"/put"}),
@org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping(consumes={}, headers={}, name="", params={}, path={"/put"}, produces={}, value={"/put"})
]

This commit documents the following Spring properties in the reference
manual.
- spring.aot.enabled
- spring.cache.reactivestreams.ignore
- spring.classformat.ignore
- spring.context.checkpoint
- spring.context.exit
Closes gh-31987
This commit introduces support for a Spring property named
`spring.context.expression.maxLength`. When set, the value of that
property is used internally in StandardBeanExpressionResolver to
configure the SpelParserConfiguration used when evaluating String
values in bean definitions, @Value, etc.
Closes gh-31952
Prior to this commit, the `DefaultScheduledTaskObservationConvention`
would fail as it tried to add a `KeyValue` to the observation context
that is `null`. This is rejected by the observation registry and should
be prevented. This happened when registered scheduled methods were
lambdas or part of anonymous classes. Those types do not have a
canonical name and return `null` as a value there.
This commit ensures that for these cases, the default convetion uses a
`"ANONYMOUS"` value as the `"code.namespace"` keyvalue.
Fixes gh-31918
Includes special support for a read-only DataSource in addition to the regular target DataSource, avoiding the overhead of switching the Connection's read-only flag at the beginning and end of every transaction.

The documentation currently states that Inversion of Control (IoC) and
Dependency Injection (DI) are the same thing. Although the two terms
are related, they are not synonymous: DI is a type of IoC.
I believe this change is important because using the terms
interchangeably really muddies the water about the meaning of these two
fundamental concepts of software frameworks.

This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links
into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain.
It notably homogenizes links to:
- IETF RFCs
- Java Community Process JSRs
- the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version)
- Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version)
- the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version)
This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a
Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather
than `docs-spring-boot`.
Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous
documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and
`modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.
