Before 4.2 the MvcUriComponentsBuilder exposed only static factory
methods and therefore there should be no reason for it to extend
UriComponentsBuilder (design oversight). It's also highly unlikely
for application code to treat MvcUriCB as UriCB since there is no
need and no way to obtain an instance (constructor is protected).
This change removes the base class declaration from MvcUriCB.
Issue: SPR-12617
Before this change MvcUriComponentsBuilder exposed only static factory
methods for creating links where the links are relative to the current
request or a baseUrl explicitly provided as an argument.
This change allows creating an MvcUriComponents builder instance with
a built-in baseUrl. The instance can then be used with non-static
withXxx(...) method alternatives to the static fromXxx(...) methods.

This commit adds support for script based templating. Any templating
library running on top of a JSR-223 ScriptEngine that implements
Invocable like Nashorn or JRuby could be used.
For example, in order to render Mustache templates thanks to the Nashorn
Javascript engine provided with Java 8+, you should declare the following
configuration:
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MustacheConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
registry.scriptTemplate();
}
@Bean
public ScriptTemplateConfigurer configurer() {
ScriptTemplateConfigurer configurer = new ScriptTemplateConfigurer();
configurer.setEngineName("nashorn");
configurer.setScripts("mustache.js");
configurer.setRenderObject("Mustache");
configurer.setRenderFunction("render");
return configurer;
}
}
The XML counterpart is:
<beans>
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:script-template />
</mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:script-template-configurer engine-name="nashorn" render-object="Mustache" render-function="render">
<mvc:script location="mustache.js" />
</mvc:script-template-configurer>
</beans>
Tested with:
- Handlebars running on Nashorn
- Mustache running on Nashorn
- React running on Nashorn
- EJS running on Nashorn
- ERB running on JRuby
- String templates running on Jython

AbstractHttpMessageConverter now tries to call getDefaultContentType
with the actual value to be converted to see if that will result in
a more concrete mediat type than application/octet-stream.

This commit introduces support for CORS in Spring Framework.
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows
many resources (e.g. fonts, JavaScript, etc.) on a web page to
be requested from another domain outside the domain from which
the resource originated. It is defined by the CORS W3C
recommandation (http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/).
A new annotation @CrossOrigin allows to enable CORS support
on Controller type or method level. By default all origins
("*") are allowed.
@RestController
public class SampleController {
@CrossOrigin
@RequestMapping("/foo")
public String foo() {
// ...
}
}
Various @CrossOrigin attributes allow to customize the CORS configuration.
@RestController
public class SampleController {
@CrossOrigin(origin = { "http://site1.com", "http://site2.com" },
allowedHeaders = { "header1", "header2" },
exposedHeaders = { "header1", "header2" },
method = RequestMethod.DELETE,
maxAge = 123, allowCredentials = "true")
@RequestMapping(value = "/foo", method = { RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST} )
public String foo() {
// ...
}
}
A CorsConfigurationSource interface can be implemented by HTTP request
handlers that want to support CORS by providing a CorsConfiguration
that will be detected at AbstractHandlerMapping level. See for
example ResourceHttpRequestHandler that implements this interface.
Global CORS configuration should be supported through ControllerAdvice
(with type level @CrossOrigin annotated class or class implementing
CorsConfigurationSource), or with XML namespace and JavaConfig
configuration, but this is not implemented yet.

This commit adds a filters property to MappingJacksonValue
and also manages a special FilterProvider class name model key in
order to be able to specify a customized FilterProvider for each
handler method execution, and thus provides a more dynamic
alternative to our existing JsonView support.
A filters property is also now available in Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
and Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean in order to set easily a
global FilterProvider.

http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonFeatureJsonFilter.

The check for an empty request body InputStream is now in the base
class AbstractMessageConverterMethodArgumentResolver shared for
all arguments that involve reading with an HttpMessageConverter --
@RequestBody, @RequestPart, and HttpEntity.
When an empty body is detected any configured RequestBodyAdvice is
given a chance to select a default value or leave it as null.
Issue: SPR-12778, SPR-12860, SPR-12861
RequestBodyAdvice is analogous to ResponseBodyAdvice (added in 4.1)
but for intercepting for reading the request with an
HttpMessageConverter for resolving an @RequestBody or an HttpEntity
method argument.

Introduces an AbstractXlsView and dedicated subclasses for POI's xmlx support.
Deprecates the traditional AbstractExcelView which is based on pre POI 3.5 API.
Issue: SPR-6898
Prior to this commit, Cache-Control HTTP headers could be set using
a WebContentInterceptor and configured cache mappings.
This commit adds support for cache-related HTTP headers at the controller
method level, by returning a ResponseEntity instance:
ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.OK)
.cacheControl(CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS).cachePublic())
.eTag("deadb33f8badf00d")
.body(entity);
Also, this change now automatically checks the "ETag" and
"Last-Modified" headers in ResponseEntity, in order to respond HTTP
"304 - Not Modified" if necessary.

This commit improves HTTP caching defaults and flexibility in
Spring MVC.
1) Better default caching headers
The `WebContentGenerator` abstract class has been updated with
better HTTP defaults for HTTP caching, in line with current
browsers and proxies implementation (wide support of HTTP1.1, etc);
depending on the `setCacheSeconds` value:
* sends "Cache-Control: max-age=xxx" for caching responses and
do not send a "must-revalidate" value by default.
* sends "Cache-Control: no-store" or "Cache-Control: no-cache"
in order to prevent caching
Other methods used to set specific header such as
`setUseExpiresHeader` or `setAlwaysMustRevalidate` are now deprecated
in favor of `setCacheControl` for better flexibility.
Using one of the deprecated methods re-enables previous HTTP caching
behavior.
This change is applied in many Handlers, since
`WebContentGenerator` is extended by `AbstractController`,
`WebContentInterceptor`, `ResourceHttpRequestHandler` and others.
2) New CacheControl builder class
This new class brings more flexibility and allows developers
to set custom HTTP caching headers.
Several strategies are provided:
* `CacheControl.maxAge(int)` for caching responses with a
"Cache-Control: max-age=xxx" header
* `CacheControl.noStore()` prevents responses from being cached
with a "Cache-Control: no-store" header
* `CacheControl.noCache()` forces caches to revalidate the cached
response before reusing it, with a "Cache-Control: no-store" header.
From that point, it is possible to chain method calls to craft a
custom CacheControl instance:
```
CacheControl cc = CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS)
.cachePublic().noTransform();
```
3) Configuring HTTP caching in Resource Handlers
On top of the existing ways of configuring caching mechanisms,
it is now possible to use a custom `CacheControl` to serve
resources:
```
@Configuration
public class MyWebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
CacheControl cc = CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS);
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**)
.addResourceLocations("classpath:/resources/")
.setCacheControl(cc);
}
}
```
or
```
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="classpath:/resources/">
<mvc:cachecontrol max-age="3600" cache-public="true"/>
</mvc:resources>
```

This commit introduces support for HTTP byte ranges in the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler. This support consists of a number of
changes:
- Parsing of HTTP Range headers in HttpHeaders, using a new HttpRange
class and inner ByteRange/SuffixByteRange subclasses.
- MIME boundary generation moved from FormHttpMessageConverter to
MimeTypeUtils.
- writePartialContent() method introduced in ResourceHttpRequestHandler,
handling the byte range logic
- Additional partial content tests added to
ResourceHttpRequestHandlerTests.

Revised HandlerMethod.getBeanType() impl for both web and messaging.
In addition, HandlerMethods get created with the internal BeanFactory now.

FlashMap now has a single field reflecting the expiration time and
also provides accessors that can be used for serialization purposes.
Issue: SPR-12757
AbstractFlashMapManager no longer decodes the target query parameters
it needs to use to match to the request after the redirect.
Instead it stores query parameters as-is adn then relies on parsing the
encoded query string after the redirect.
Issue: SPR-12569
This commit ensures that @NumberFormat can be used as a
meta-annotation, as was already the case for @DateTimeFormat.
In addition, this commit polishes FormattingConversionServiceTests and
MvcNamespaceTests.
