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.

Closes gh-31619
The description is for WebFlux, but the link points to WebFlux unit
testing support.
This commit changes the link to point the the WebFlux chapter.
Closes gh-31632
This commit documents that the "error" key in Micrometer Observations
should be preferred over the legacy "exception" one. Right now the
information is duplicated but we might remove the deprecated one in the
future.
Closes gh-31514
Previously the documentation assumed that the readers knew how to use
the X-Forwarded-* headers. This commit documents details & examples
of how to use the X-Forwarded-* headers.
See gh-31491
This commit removes the "plain old class" bit of the documentation as
it may be confusing. The gist of it is that it must be a bean but not
annotated with `@Configuration` so the updated sentence states exactly
that.
Closes gh-29957
This commit adds a warning in the reference guide to address the
use cases where users might be tempted to use several property
placeholder configurers.
Closes gh-14623
Prior to this commit, it was only possible to register a
ContextCustomizerFactory in the TestContext framework (TCF) via the
SpringFactoriesLoader mechanism.
This commit introduces support for declarative registration of a
ContextCustomizerFactory local to a test class via a new
@ContextCustomizerFactories annotation.
Closes gh-26148
Prior to this commit, @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction
methods could not accept any arguments. This is acceptable with testing
frameworks such as JUnit 4 and TestNG that do not provide support for
parameter injection. However, users of JUnit Jupiter have become
accustomed to being able to accept arguments in lifecycle methods
annotated with JUnit's @BeforeEach, @AfterEach, etc.
As a follow up to the previous commit (see gh-31199), this commit
introduces first-class support for parameter injection in
@BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction methods, as demonstrated in
the following example.
@BeforeTransaction
void verifyInitialDatabaseState(@Autowired DataSource dataSource) {
// Use the DataSource to verify the initial DB state
}
Closes gh-30736
Prior to this commit, it was unclear to users and third parties that it
is necessary to manually configure a StandardTypeLocator with a
specific ClassLoader to ensure that the SpEL expression parser is able
to reliably locate user types.
For example, the StandardBeanExpressionResolver in the spring-context
module configures a StandardTypeLocator using the bean ClassLoader of
the corresponding BeanFactory.
This commit improves the documentation to raise awareness of this fact.
Closes gh-26253
