Add resolver utilities that can be used to perform programmatic
autowiring of fields, methods, constructors and factory methods.
The resolvers are designed to work in an AOT environment and
allows the actual injection to be performed using functional
interfaces. This allows leaner images to be created since
`introspection` hints are required rather than full `invocation`
hints.
The resolvers also provide a reflection based fallback that can
used when the functional interface cannot work. For example, a
reflection based solution is required for private fields, methods
and constructors.
See gh-28414
Add a new `InstanceSupplier` interface that can be used as an
alternative to a regular bean `Supplier` when details about the
bean being supplied are required to instantiate it. The new
interface accepts a `RegisteredBean` instance which provides
access to the bean name, the bean factory creating the bean
and the bean definition.
This interface is primarily designed to allow AOT generated code
to autowire dependencies into the instance.
See gh-28414
Update `SpringFactoriesLoader` so that it can load files from
arbitrary locations. An instance of the loader class itself is now
returned from static factory methods that accept different
locations.
The recent `ArgumentResolver` and `FailureHandler` `loadFactories`
variants are now no longer available as static methods. They are
still available as instance methods.
The `loadFactories` static method remains to provide
back-compatibility with Spring Framework 5.x
See gh-28416
With a Java 8 baseline in place for quite some time now, it no longer
makes sense to refer to features such as annotations as "Java 5
annotations".
This commit also removes old `Tiger*Tests` classes, thereby avoiding
duplicate execution of various tests.
Since Spring Framework 5.3, BeanUtils.copyProperties() honors generics
in the source and target property types (see gh-24187); however, this
refinement of the contract was not properly documented prior to this
commit. In addition, the refinement can be a breaking change for users
who were relying on the previous unreliable behavior.
This commit therefore clarifies the behavior for generics support in
BeanUtils.copyProperties() and introduces a table of example matches
and mismatches when generics are involved.
Closes gh-27259
This commit updates InitDestroyBeanPostProcessor so that it contributes
init or destroy method names to the `RootBeanDefinition`. This is then
used by the generator to provide these methods to the optimized AOT
context.
Invocation of those init methods still happen using reflection so
dedicated hints are contributed for them.
Closes gh-28151
This commit updates InjectionGenerator to request a resolved attribute
with a dedicated type if multiple methods with the same name and the
same number of arguments exist. This was previously done already for
constructors and this commit harmonizes the algorithms to methods as
well
Closes gh-28154
This commit updates the generator to stop specifying a field type when
reflection is necessary, or when a reference to a field should be
retrieved as its name alone suffices.
This could trigger package protected issues if the field type is not
public.
See gh-28047
This commit introduces a way to process a GenericApplicationContext
ahead of time. Components that can contribute in that phase are
invoked, and their contributions are recorded in the
GeneratedTypeContext.
This commit also expands BeanFactoryContribution so that it can exclude
bean definitions that are no longer required.
Closes gh-28150
This commit adds a way for a BeanFactoryPostProcessor to participate to
AOT optimizations by contributing code that replaces its runtime
behaviour.
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor does implement this new interface and
computes a mapping of the ImportAware configuration classes. The mapping
is generated for latter reuse by ImportAwareAotBeanPostProcessor.
Closes gh-2811
This commits adds an implementation that takes care of contributing
code for each bean definition in the bean factory, invoking
BeanRegistrationContributionProvider to determine the best candidate to
use.
Closes gh-28088
This commit introduces an infrastructure to contribute generated code
ahead of time to initialize a BeanFactory. Code and hints can be
contributed to a BeanFactorInitialization, with the ability to write to
other packages if necessary.
An implementation of that new interface that registers a BeanDefinition
is also included in this commit. It delegates to a
BeanInstantiationGenerator for geenerating the instance supplier that
creates the bean instance.
For corner cases, a BeanRegistrationContributionProvider can be
implemented. It allows to return a custom BeanFactoryContribution for
a particualr bean definition. This usually uses the default
implementation with a custom instance supplier.
Note that this commit adds an temporary executable resolution that is
meant to be replaced by the use of ConstructorResolver
See gh-28088
This commit extracts the logic of resolving a merged bean definition for
an inner bean to a public method so that other components can reuse it.
Closes gh-28093
This commit harmonizes the use of the "generate" keyword for anything
related to code generation. Previously, there was a mix of "generate"
and "write."
See gh-28047
This commit updates AotContributingBeanPostProcessor so that it
explicitly extends from PriorityOrdered. This makes it more apparent
that AOT contributing bean post processors are meant to be invoked
early with the regular runtime, and shouldn't be post-processed
themselves.
See gh-28047
