The BeanFactory makes it easier to configure a customized Jackson
ObjectMapper (for example enable/disable certain features).
This bean factory is usually used with
MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter or MappingJacksonJsonView.
See JavaDoc for examples.

Previously MediaType could only parse double-quoted parameters without
raising an IllegalArgumentException. Now parameters can also be
single-quoted.
Issue: SPR-8917
HttpStatus cannot be created with an unknown status code. If a server
returns a status code that's not in the HttpStatus enum values, an
IllegalArgumentException is raised. Rather than allowing it to
propagate as such, this change ensures the actual exception raised is
a RestClientException.

A recent commit made aopalliance optional for spring-aop, while
continuing to require it for spring-tx. On review, this is probably
overly aggressive, and for convenience aopalliance should remain
required for spring-aop. There are use cases for which aopalliance is
indeed optional, but core functionality such as <aop:scoped-proxy>
should never result in a ClassNotFoundException.
This commit returns the aopalliance dependency for spring-aop to
required status, and also explicitly notes the same dependency in other
modules that compile directly against aopalliance types.

The junit:junit Maven artifact includes a bundled version of hamcrest
core. For projects that depend on later versions of hamcrest this causes
significant issues in terms of dependency management.
The spring-test module now depends on junit:junit-dep, thus allowing
developers to better manage their test dependencies on a more fine
grained level.
Also tidied up dependency issues regarding hamcrest-core and
hamcrest-all across the build.

This commit introduces a test suite (Spr8849Tests) that demonstrates
the claims made in SPR-8849.
Specifically, if <jdbc:embedded-database id="xyz" /> is used to create
an embedded HSQL database in an XML configuration file and that
configuration file is imported in different sets of configuration files
that are used to load ApplicationContexts for different integration
tests, the embedded database will be initialized multiple times using
any nested <jdbc:script /> elements. If such a script is used to create
a table, for example, subsequent attempts to initialize the database
named "xyz" will fail since an embedded database named "xyz" already
exists in the JVM.
As a work-around, this test suite uses a SpEL expression to generate a
random string for each embedded database instance:
id="#{T(java.util.UUID).randomUUID().toString()}"
See the Javadoc in Spr8849Tests for further information.
Issue: SPR-8849
Previously, DatabasePopulatorUtils#execute looked up a Connection from
the given DataSource directly which resulted in the executed statements
not being executed against a transactional connection (if any) which in
turn resulted in the statements executed by the populator potentially
not being rolled back.
Now DataSourceUtils#getConnection is used to transparently take part in
any active transaction and #releaseConnection is used to ensure the
connection is closed if appropriate.
Issue: SPR-9457
Default HTTP error exceptions thrown from RestTemplate now include
response headers in addition to the response body. In particular, this
enables inspection of the Content-Type header allowing manual
deserialization of the response body without guessing as to the content
type.
- introduce HttpStatusCodeException#getResponseHeaders
- add constructor with headers param for HttpStatusCodeException,
HttpClientErrorException and HttpServerErrorException
- preserve exsisting constructor signatures
- mark HttpHeaders as Serializable
- generate new serialVersionUID where needed
Issue: SPR-7938
The following style updates have been made in anticipation of
substantive changes in subsequent commits:
- organize imports
- correct whitespace errors (leading spaces in code, tabs in Javadoc)
- wrap Javadoc at 90 chars; make imperative ("Return" vs. "Returns")
- use conventional constructor argument wrapping
A serialVersionUID has also been added to RestClientException and its
ResourceAccessException subclass for consistency with the rest of that
same exception hierarchy.
Issue: SPR-7938
- Explicitly specify compile-time dependencies on other spring-*
modules, primarily for accuracy in pom generation and ensuring
minimal dependencies for users of spring-aspects.
- Remove use of p: namespace from annotation-cache-aspectj.xml to
avoid parser-related test failures under Eclipse (likely due to
classpath differences between Gradle and Eclipse).
The spring-intstrument jar should have a 'Premain-Class:' manifest
entry in order to enable use as a Java agent. This entry was present in
versions 3.1.1 and earlier, but due to build infrastructure changes
starting in 3.2.x this entry was missed. It is now back in place as
expected.
Issue: SPR-9458
Gradle-generated poms thoroughly tested against 3.1.1 versions, with an
eye toward making as many spring-* dependencies optional as possible.
All spring-* modules now declare a Gradle dependency on any other
spring-* module where there is a direct compile-time usage of the
sources in that module. Previously, dependency declarations were
minimal, letting transitive resolution do most of the work. However,
this creates less than ideal poms and is generally not very
informative.
So for example, spring-jdbc uses spring-core, spring-beans and
spring-tx classes directly. Therefore it has the following declarations:
compile project(":spring-core")
compile project(":spring-beans")
compile project(":spring-tx")
spring-core depends on spring-asm, but spring-jdbc does not use
spring-asm classes directly. Therefore spring-jdbc does not declare a
dependency on spring-asm. Transitive resolution is fine in such a case.
As for optional dependencies, it is a matter of degrees what
constitutes optional. A rule of thumb is whether there are legitimate
and likely use cases in which the module can be used without needing
the dependency. spring-jdbc has only one compile-time dependency on
spring-context classes, and that's in JndiDataSourceLookup. It is
certainly reasonable to imagine using spring-jdbc without JNDI,
therefore the spring-context dependency is declared optional as
follows:
compile(project(":spring-context"), optional) // for JndiDataSourceLookup
In Spring 3.1 the spring-test Maven artifact did not have a required
dependency on spring-core, but there is practically no part of
spring-test that can be used without spring-core. Most test utilities
that are intended to be stand-alone utilities in fact use utility
classes from spring-core (e.g., ReflectionTestUtils). Even some of the
web mocks/stubs use spring-core (e.g., DelegatingServletInputStream).
In addition, the current Gradle build configuration for the spring-test
module is very simplistic -- in that it does not explicitly list any
optional dependencies such as the Servlet and Portlet APIs -- and it
defines a 'compile' dependency on spring-webmvc-portlet.
The resulting Maven dependencies in the generated POM are therefore not
what a typical consumer of the spring-test artifact would reasonably
expect.
To address these issues, the Gradle build configuration for the
spring-test module now explicitly defines the following 'compile'
dependencies:
- spring-core
- spring-webmvc, optional
- spring-webmvc-portlet, optional
- junit, optional
- testng, optional
- servlet-api, optional
- jsp-api, optional
- portlet-api, optional
- activation, provided
The only required dependency is now spring-core; all other dependencies
are 'optional'.
Issue: SPR-8861
Prior to this change, by-type lookups using DLBF#getBeanNamesForType
required traversal of all bean definitions within the bean factory
in order to inspect their bean class for assignability to the target
type. These operations are comparatively expensive and when there are a
large number of beans registered within the container coupled with a
large number of by-type lookups at runtime, the performance impact can
be severe. The test introduced here demonstrates such a scenario clearly.
This performance problem is likely to manifest in large Spring-based
applications using non-singleton beans, particularly request-scoped
beans that may be created and wired many thousands of times per second.
This commit introduces a simple ConcurrentHashMap-based caching strategy
for by-type lookups; container-wide assignability checks happen only
once on the first by-type lookup and are afterwards cached by type
with the values in the map being an array of all bean names assignable
to that type. This means that at runtime when creating and autowiring
non-singleton beans, the cost of by-type lookups is reduced to that of
ConcurrentHashMap#get.
Issue: SPR-6870
Previously (since Spring 3.1.1) RecursiveAnnotationAttributesVisitor
logs at level WARN when ASM parsing encounters an annotation or an (enum
used within an annotation) that cannot be classloaded. This is not
necessarily indicative of an error, e.g. JSR-305 annotations such as
@Nonnull may be used only for static analysis purposes, but because
these annotations have runtime retention, they remain present in the
bytecode. Per section 9.6.1.2 of the JLS, "An annotation that is present
in the binary may or may not be available at run-time via the reflective
libraries of the Java platform."
This commit lowers the log level of these messages from warn to debug,
but leaves at warn level other messages dealing with the ability
reflectively read enum values from within annotations.
Issue: SPR-9233
The following syntax is now supported
<beans profile="p1,!p2">
@Profile("p1", "!p2")
indicating that the <beans> element or annotated component should
be processed only if profile 'p1' is active or profile 'p2' is not
active.
Issue: SPR-8728
Changes introduced in Spring 3.1 for Environment support inadvertently
established a cyclic dependency between the
org.springframework.web.context and
org.springframework.web.context.support packages, specifically through
web.context.ContextLoader's invocation of
web.context.support.WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources.
This commit introduces ConfigurableWebEnvironment to break this cyclic
dependency. All web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext types now
return web.context.ConfigurableWebEnvironment from their #getEnvironment
methods; web.context.support.StandardServletEnvironment now implements
ConfigurableWebEnvironment and makes the call to
web.context.support.WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources
within its implementation of #initPropertySources. This means that
web.context.ContextLoader now invokes
web.context.ConfigurableWebEnvironment#initPropertySources instead of
web.context.support.WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources
and thus the cycle is broken.
Issue: SPR-9439
Prior to this change, AbstractApplicationContext#setParent replaced the
child context's Environment with the parent's Environment if available.
This has the negative effect of potentially changing the type of the
child context's Environment, and in any case causes property sources
added directly against the child environment to be ignored. This
situation could easily occur if a WebApplicationContext child had a
non-web ApplicationContext set as its parent. In this case the parent
Environment type would (likely) be StandardEnvironment, while the child
Environment type would (likely) be StandardServletEnvironment. By
directly inheriting the parent environment, critical property sources
such as ServletContextPropertySource are lost entirely.
This commit introduces the concept of merging an environment through
the new ConfigurableEnvironment#merge method. Instead of replacing the
child's environment with the parent's,
AbstractApplicationContext#setParent now merges property sources as
well as active and default profile names from the parent into the
child. In this way, distinct environment objects are maintained with
specific types and property sources preserved. See #merge Javadoc for
additional details.

@EnableSpringConfigured and its @Import'ed
SpringConfiguredConfiguration @Configuration class inadvertently
established a package cycle between beans.factory.aspectj and
context.annotation due to SpringConfiguredConfiguration's
dependency on annotations such as @Configuration, @Bean and @Role.
This commit fixes this architecture bug by moving
@EnableSpringConfigured and SpringConfiguredConfiguration from the
beans.factory.aspectj package to the context.annotation package where
they belong.
This change is assumed to be very low impact as @EnableSpringConfigured
was introduced in 3.1.0 and relocation is happening as quickly as
possible in 3.1.2. @EnableSpringConfigured is assumed to be infrequently
used at this point, and for those that are the migration path
is straightforward. When upgrading from Spring 3.1.0 or 3.1.1, update
import statements in any affected @Configuration classes to reflect the
new packaging.
Issue: SPR-9441
Commit 096693c46f refactored and
deprecated TransactionAspectUtils, moving its #qualifiedBeanOfType
and related methods into BeanFactoryUtils. This created a package cycle
between beans.factory and beans.factory.annotation due to use of the
beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier annotation in these methods.
This commit breaks the package cycle by introducing
beans.factory.annotation.BeanFactoryAnnotationUtils and moving these
@Qualifier-related methods to it. It is intentionally similar in name
and style to the familiar BeanFactoryUtils class for purposes of
discoverability.
There are no backward-compatibilty concerns associated with this change
as the cycle was introduced, caught and now fixed before a release.
Issue: SPR-6847
As of Spring 3.1 URI variables can be used for data binding purposes in
addition to request parameters (including query string and form params)
In some cases URI variables and request params can overlap (e.g. form
contains a child entity with an entityId as hidden form input while the
URI contains the entityId of the parent entity) and that can lead to
surprises if the application already exists.
This change ensures that request parameters are used first and URI
vars are added only if they don't overlap. Ideally however an
application should not use the same uri variable name as the name of
a request parameter where they don't refer to the same value.
Issue: SPR-9349
java.util.concurrent's ScheduledExecutorService and its #schedule*
methods allow for an 'initialDelay' parameter in milliseconds.
Similarly, Spring's TaskExecutor abstraction allows for a concrete
'startTime' expressed as a Date. However, Spring's <task:scheduled> XML
element and @Scheduled annotation have, to date, not allowed for an
initial delay parameter that can be propagated down to the underlying
TaskScheduler/ScheduledExecutorService.
This commit introduces initial-delay and #initialDelay attributes to
task:scheduled and @Scheduled respectively, both indicating the number
of milliseconds to wait before the first invocation of the method in
question. Specifying a delay in this fashion is only valid in
conjunction with fixed-rate and fixed-delay tasks (i.e. not with cron
or trigger tasks).
The principal changes required to support these new attributes lie in
ScheduledTaskRegistrar, which previously supported registration of
tasks in the form of a Runnable and a Long parameter indicating (in the
case of fixed-rate and fixed-delay tasks), the interval with which the
task should be executed. In order to accommodate a third (and optional)
'initialDelay' parameter, the IntervalTask class has been added as a
holder for the Runnable to be executed, the interval in which to run
it, and the optional initial delay. For symmetry, a TriggerTask and
CronTask have also been added, the latter subclassing the former. And a
'Task' class has been added as a common ancestor for all the above.
One oddity of the implementation is in the naming of the new
setters in ScheduledTaskRegistrar. Prior to this commit, the setters
were named #setFixedDelayTasks, #setFixedRateTasks, etc, each accepting
a Map<Runnable, long>. In adding new setters for each task type, each
accepting a List<IntervalTask>, List<CronTask> etc, naturally the
approach would be to use method overloading and to introduce methods
of the same name but with differing parameter types. Unfortunately
however, Spring does not support injection against overloaded methods
(due to fundamental limitations of the underlying JDK Introspector).
This is not a problem when working with the ScheduledTaskRegistrar
directly, e.g. from within a @Configuration class that implements
SchedulingConfigurer, but is a problem from the point of view of the
ScheduledTasksBeanDefinitionParser which parses the <task:scheduled>
element - here the ScheduledTaskRegistrar is treated as a Spring bean
and is thus subject to these limitations. The solution to this problem
was simply to avoid overloading altogether, thus the naming of the new
methods ending in "List", e.g. #setFixedDelayTasksList, etc. These
methods exist primarily for use by the BeanDefinitionParser and are
not really intended for use by application developers. The Javadoc for
each of the new methods makes note of this.
Issue: SPR-7022
In anticipation of substantive changes required to implement "initial
delay" support in the <task:scheduled> element and @Scheduled
annotation, the following updates have been made to the components and
infrastructure supporting scheduled task execution:
- Fix code style violations
- Fix compiler warnings
- Add Javadoc where missing, update to use {@code} tags, etc.
- Organize imports to follow conventions
