This commit introduces the following changes.
1) It adds a new Spring @NonNull annotation which allows to apply
@NonNullApi semantic on a specific element, like @Nullable does.
Combined with @Nullable, it allows partial null-safety support when
package granularity is too broad.
2) @Nullable and @NonNull can apply to ElementType.TYPE_USE in order
to be used on generic type arguments (SPR-15942).
3) Annotations does not apply to ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER anymore
since it is not supported yet (applicability for such use case is
controversial and need to be discussed).
4) @NonNullApi does not apply to ElementType.FIELD anymore since in a
lot of use cases (private, protected) it is not part for the public API
+ its usage should remain opt-in. A dedicated @NonNullFields annotation
has been added in order to set fields default to non-nullable.
5) Updated Javadoc and reference documentation.

The main `build.gradle` file contains now only the common build
infrastructure; all module-specific build configurations have
been moved to their own build file.
Issue: SPR-15885
Bean-derived null values may still get passed into bean properties and injection points but only if those are declared as non-required. Note that getBean will never return null; a manual bean.equals(null) / "null".equals(bean.toString()) check identifies expected null values now. This will only ever happen with custom FactoryBeans or factory methods returning null - and since all common cases are handled by autowiring or bean property values in bean definitions, there should be no need to ever manually check for such a null value received from getBean.
Issue: SPR-15829
This commit ensure that null-safety is consistent between
getters and setters in order to be able to provide beans
with properties with a common type when type safety is
taken in account like with Kotlin.
It also add a few missing property level @Nullable
annotations.
Issue: SPR-15792
This commits extends nullability declarations to the field level, formalizing the interaction between methods and their underlying fields and therefore avoiding any nullability mismatch.
Issue: SPR-15720
This commit also removes nullability from two common spots: ResolvableType.getType() and TargetSource.getTarget(), both of which are never effectively null with any regular implementation. For such scenarios, a non-null empty type/target is the cleaner contract.
Issue: SPR-15540
Beyond just formally declaring the current behavior, this revision actually enforces non-null behavior in selected signatures now, not tolerating null values anymore when not explicitly documented. It also changes some utility methods with historic null-in/null-out tolerance towards enforced non-null return values, making them a proper citizen in non-null assignments.
Some issues are left as to-do: in particular a thorough revision of spring-test, and a few tests with unclear failures (ignored as "TODO: NULLABLE") to be sorted out in a follow-up commit.
Issue: SPR-15540
This commit introduces 2 new @Nullable and @NonNullApi
annotations that leverage JSR 305 (dormant but available via
Findbugs jsr305 dependency and already used by libraries
like OkHttp) meta-annotations to specify explicitly
null-safety of Spring Framework parameters and return values.
In order to avoid adding too much annotations, the
default is set at package level with @NonNullApi and
@Nullable annotations are added when needed at parameter or
return value level. These annotations are intended to be used
on Spring Framework itself but also by other Spring projects.
@Nullable annotations have been introduced based on Javadoc
and search of patterns like "return null;". It is expected that
nullability of Spring Framework API will be polished with
complementary commits.
In practice, this will make the whole Spring Framework API
null-safe for Kotlin projects (when KT-10942 will be fixed)
since Kotlin will be able to leverage these annotations to
know if a parameter or a return value is nullable or not. But
this is also useful for Java developers as well since IntelliJ
IDEA, for example, also understands these annotations to
generate warnings when unsafe nullable usages are detected.
Issue: SPR-15540
String with version 5 the name of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition
changed from J2EE to Java EE. However a lot of the documentation still
uses the term J2EE.
This commit includes the following changes:
* replace J2EE with Java EE where appropriate
This is not a blind search and replace. The following occurrences
remain unchanged:
* references to old J2EE releases, most notably 1.3 and 1.4.
* references to "Expert One-On-One J2EE Design and Development"
* references to "Core J2EE patterns"
* XML namespaces
* package names

This commit adds a test runtime dependency on log4j 2 for every project
and migrates all log4j.properties files to log4j2-test.xml files.
Issue: SPR-14431
This commit migrates all remaining tests from JUnit 3 to JUnit 4, with
the exception of Spring's legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework that
is still in use in the spring-orm module.
Issue: SPR-13514
SPR-11512 introduced support for annotation attribute aliases via
@AliasFor, requiring the explicit declaration of the 'attribute'
attribute. However, for aliases within an annotation, this explicit
declaration is unnecessary.
This commit improves the readability of alias pairs declared within an
annotation by introducing a 'value' attribute in @AliasFor that is an
alias for the existing 'attribute' attribute. This allows annotations
such as @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module to declare
aliases as follows.
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor("locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor("value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}
Issue: SPR-13289
In addition to specifying the event type to listen to via a method
parameter, any @EventListener annotated method can now alternatively
define the event type(s) to listen to via the "classes" attributes (that
is aliased to "value").
Something like
@EventListener({FooEvent.class, BarEvent.class})
public void handleFooBar() { .... }
Issue: SPR-13156
In AnnotatedElementUtils, all methods pertaining to merging annotation
attributes have been renamed to "getMerged*()" and "findMerged*()"
accordingly. Existing methods such as getAnnotationAttributes(..) have
been deprecated in favor of the more descriptive "merged" variants.
This aligns the naming conventions in AnnotatedElementUtils with those
already present in AnnotationReadingVisitorUtils.
The use of "annotationType" as a variable name for the fully qualified
class name of an annotation type has been replaced with
"annotationName" in order to improve the readability and intent of the
code base.
In MetaAnnotationUtils.AnnotationDescriptor, getMergedAnnotation() has
been renamed to synthesizeAnnotation(), and the method is now
overridden in UntypedAnnotationDescriptor to always throw an
UnsupportedOperationException in order to avoid potential run-time
ClassCastExceptions.
Issue: SPR-11511
This commit introduces support for finding annotations on abstract,
bridge, and interface methods in AnnotatedElementUtils.
- Introduced dedicated findAnnotationAttributes() methods in
AnnotatedElementUtils that provide first-class support for
processing methods, class hierarchies, interfaces, bridge methods,
etc.
- Introduced find/get search algorithm dichotomy in
AnnotatedElementUtils which is visible in the public API as well as
in the internal implementation. This was necessary in order to
maintain backwards compatibility with the existing API (even though
it was undocumented).
- Reverted all recent changes made to the "get semantics" search
algorithm in AnnotatedElementUtils in order to ensure backwards
compatibility, and reverted recent changes to
JtaTransactionAnnotationParser and SpringTransactionAnnotationParser
accordingly.
- Documented internal AnnotatedElementUtils.Processor<T> interface.
- Enabled failing tests and introduced
findAnnotationAttributesFromBridgeMethod() test in
AnnotatedElementUtilsTests.
- Refactored ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter.getCondition() and
enabled failing test in TransactionalEventListenerTests.
- AnnotationUtils.isInterfaceWithAnnotatedMethods() is now package
private.
Issue: SPR-12738, SPR-11514, SPR-11598
This commit introduces support in AnnotatedElementUtils for finding
annotations declared on interfaces at the type level.
NB: this commit does not include support for finding annotations
declared on interface methods.
In order to maintain backward compatibility with @Transactional
annotation attribute processing, a new getAnnotationAttributes() method
has been added to AnnotatedElementUtils that provides a flag to control
whether interfaces should be searched.
SpringTransactionAnnotationParser and JtaTransactionAnnotationParser
have been updated accordingly to ensure that interfaces are not
unintentionally searched in the @Transactional resolution process.
This commit also introduces additional tests and updates TODOs for
SPR-12738.
Issue: SPR-12944, SPR-12738
Prior to this commit, the search algorithm used by the
findAnnotation(Method, Class) method in AnnotationUtils only found
direct annotations or direct meta-annotations (i.e., one level of
meta-annotations).
This commit reworks the search algorithm so that it supports arbitrary
levels of meta-annotations on methods. To make this possible, a new
findAnnotation(AnnotatedElement, Class) method has been introduced in
AnnotationUtils.
This fix also allows for the @Ignore'd tests in
TransactionalEventListenerTests to be re-enabled.
Issue: SPR-12941
Update the application event listener infrastructure to support events
that are processed according to a transactional phase.
Introduce EventListenerFactory that can be implemented to provide support
for additional event listener types. TransactionalEventListener is a new
annotation that can be used in lieu of the regular EventListener. Its
related factory implementation is registered in the context automatically
via @EnableTransactionManagement or <tx:annotation-driven/>
By default, a TransactionalEventListener is invoked when the transaction
has completed successfully (i.e. AFTER_COMMIT). Additional phases are
provided to handle BEFORE_COMMIT and AFTER_ROLLBACK events.
If no transaction is running, such listener is not invoked at all unless
the `fallbackExecution` flag has been explicitly set.
Issue: SPR-12080
Fix a regression introduced by 961574bd17 that prevents a proper lookup
of the default transaction manager by name as the absence of a qualifier
is represented by an empty string (passing the faulty null check).
Issue: SPR-12577
One more (and hopefully last) attempt at making sure
determineTransactionManager does not break existing use cases.
This commit prevents any lookup if no transaction attributes are set
which is more compliant with the original version and prevents a lookup
if a non existing bean name is provided explicitly (as it can be the case
with Spring Boot).
Issue: SPR-12541
The fix in cec26e9 for SPR-12541 actually introduced a regression
when the interceptor is enabled on a method that does not require any
transaction. In such a case we try to locate the default
PlatformTransactionManager instead of just returning what we have (that
is null).
This commit updates the determineTransactionManager condition again to
take that use case into account again.
Issue: SPR-12541
Previously, cache transaction managers may be retained outside the
boundaries of an application context with AspectJ since an aspect is
basically a singleton for the current class loader.
This commit adds a "clearTransactionManagerCache" that is similar to the
"clearMetadataCache" introduced in CacheAspectSupport: whenever the
context is disposed, the cache is cleared to remove any reference to a
transaction manager defined by that context.
Issue: SPR-12518
SPR-11954 introduced a regression that when the "default" transaction
manager is cached, qualified transaction managers are not taken into
account anymore.
This commit rework the "determineTransactionManager" condition to
favor qualifier and "named" transaction managers. If none of these apply,
the default transaction manager is used as it should.
Also reworked the caching infrastructure so that a single cache holds
all transaction manager instances.
Issue: SPR-12541
This commit adds the missing 4.1 XSDs for the following components:
* spring-aop
* spring-context
* spring-jee
* spring-lang
* spring-tx
* spring-util
These are strictly identical to the definition of the 4.0 XSDs.
Issue: SPR-11990
Prior to this commit, cache operations mentioning a qualifier led to
a lookup for the same PlatformTransactionManager over and over again.
The same applied when a transactionManager bean name was specified on
the interceptor.
This commit adds a cache to store the reference of such transaction
managers. As a convenience, the default PlatformTransactionManager is
also initialized if it has not been through configuration.
Issue: SPR-11954
This commit adds a test that reproduces the behaviour described in
SPR-11915 and validates that the fix introduced in f8b6114440 works
as expected.
Issue: SPR-11915
Clean up compiler warnings in the tests of spring-tx. This commit
adds type parameters to all the types (mostly `List` and `Map`). In
addition it uses Java 5 autoboxing to get rid of several `new Integer`
(except in cases where it's needed).
After this commit the only warnings in spring-tx left are in
`TransactionAttributeSourceTests`` that code would never compile with
generics.
Prior to this commit, the codebase was using a mix of log4j.xml
and log4j.properties for test-related logging configuration. This
can be an issue as log4j takes the xml variant first when looking
for a default bootstrap configuration.
In practice, some modules declaring the properties variant were
taking the xml variant configuration from another module.
The general structure of the configuration has also been
harmonized to provide a standard console output as well as an
easy way to enable trace logs for the current module.
Also simplified cache key 'hashCode' implementation, relying on 'equals' to differentiate between same method on different target classes.
Issue: SPR-11267
Fix remaining Java compiler warnings, mainly around missing
generics or deprecated code.
Also add the `-Werror` compiler option to ensure that any future
warnings will fail the build.
Issue: SPR-11064
The tests introduced in this commit demonstrate the current lacking
support for composable stereotypes on interfaces (using @Transactional)
as a concrete example.
Issue: SPR-11108
Introduced DefaultManagedTaskExecutor, DefaultManagedTaskScheduler and DefaultManagedAwareThreadFactory classes, revised related javadoc, and deprecated unsupported JBossWorkManagerTaskExecutor in favor of JSR-236 setup on WildFly 8.
Issue: SPR-8195
Update MatchAlwaysTransactionAttributeSource.getTransactionAttribute
to allow a null method argument. Passing a null method is not
recommended and is not indicated as valid in the Javadoc, however,
this was allowed in previous versions of Spring.
Issue: SPR-11048
In particular, do not apply them to GroovyObject methods and other kinds of synthetic methods in language runtimes. The only exception are bridge methods since those do eventually point to a user-level generic method.
Issue: SPR-10803
JtaTransactionManager's configuration options for a TransactionSynchronizationRegistry are now in sync with the options for UserTransaction/TransactionManager. Specifically, there are setTransactionSynchronizationRegistry/getTransactionSynchronizationRegistry methods for programmatic configuration now. Motivated by Spring's adapting to a Hibernate JtaPlatform, specifically the Hibernate 4.3 changes in that area.
Issue: SPR-10839
Also fixing an old XmlBeanFactory test that relies on "ref local" which is gone in the 4.0 xsd now, redeclaring the affected file to an older xsd version.
Removed spring-beans.dtd (the 1.x variant) and spring-oxm-1.5.xsd (pre-Spring-Framework variant), in order to raise the backwards compatibility limit a little bit at least. We'll keep supporting the 2.0 and 2.5 xsd versions for the time being, as well as spring-beans-2.0.dtd.
Removed the ref 'local' attribute in spring-beans-4.0.xsd since 'local' lost its differentiating role to a regular bean ref back in the 3.1 days when we started allowing for the same bean id to reappear in a different beans section of the same configuration file (with a different profile).
Issue: SPR-10437
In particular, avoid accidental usage of ASM for core JDK types - which will fail in case of a new bytecode version in the JDK, even if the application itself has been compiled with an earlier bytecode target.

Effectively, AbstractTransactionAspect got refactored into around advice, reusing former TransactionInterceptor code which now lives in slightly generalized form in TransactionAspectSupport, and using a workaround for rethrowing checked exceptions.
Issue: SPR-9268
Also introduces consistent use of getBean(Class) for similar use cases across the framework, accepting a locally unique target bean even if further matching beans would be available in parent contexts (in contrast to BeanFactoryUtils.beanOfType's behavior).
Issue: SPR-10160
Prior to this commit many test utility classes and sample beans were
duplicated across projects. This was previously necessary due to the
fact that dependent test sources were not shared during a gradle
build. Since the introduction of the 'test-source-set-dependencies'
gradle plugin this is no longer the case.
This commit attempts to remove as much duplicate code as possible,
co-locating test utilities and beans in the most suitable project.
For example, test beans are now located in the 'spring-beans'
project.
Some of the duplicated code had started to drift apart when
modifications made in one project where not ported to others. All
changes have now been consolidated and when necessary existing tests
have been refactored to account for the differences.
