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 {};
// ...
}

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() { .... }

Prior to this commit, the implementation of getRepeatableAnnotation()
in Spring's AnnotationUtils complied neither with the contract of
getAnnotationsByType() nor with the contract of
getDeclaredAnnotationsByType() as defined in AnnotatedElement in Java 8.
Specifically, unexpected results can be encountered when using Spring's
support for @Repeatable annotations: either annotations show up in the
returned set in the wrong order, or annotations are returned in the set
that should not even be found based on the semantics of @Repeatable.
This commit remedies this problem by deprecating the existing
getRepeatableAnnotation() methods and replacing them with new
getRepeatableAnnotations() and getDeclaredRepeatableAnnotations()
methods that comply with the contracts of Java's getAnnotationsByType()
and getDeclaredAnnotationsByType(), respectively.
Issue: SPR-13068
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
Provide a mean to detect the actual ResolvableType based on a instance as
a counter measure to type erasure.
Upgrade the event infrastructure to detect if the event (or the payload)
implements such interface. When this is the case, the return value of
`getResolvableType` is used to validate its generic type against the
method signature of the listener.
Issue: SPR-13069
While working on SPR-12532, an extra IdentityWrapper was added to work
around a backward compatible issue between commons pool 1.x and 2.x. This
issue (POOL-283) has actually been fixed in 2.4 and their IdentityWrapper
is using object equality so our wrapper is in the way.
Looking retrospectively, the code looks all fine without the workaround
and commons pool 2.4 or later so it has been removed.
Since Spring 4.1, a CacheResolver may be configured to customize the way
the cache(s) to use for a given cache operation are retrieved. Since a
CacheResolver implementation may not use the cache names information at
all, this attribute has been made optional.
However, a fix was still applied, preventing a Cache operation without a
cache name to be defined properly. We now allow this valid use case.
Issue: SPR-13081
This commit introduces new 'cacheNames' attributes (analogous to the
existing attribute of the same name in @CacheConfig) as aliases for the
'value' attributes in @Cacheable, @CachePut, and @CacheEvict.
In addition, SpringCacheAnnotationParser.getAnnotations() has been
refactored to support synthesized annotations.
Issue: SPR-11393
Prior to this commit, @ComponentScan already had a value/basePackages
alias pair; however, the semantics were not properly enforced.
This commit addresses this issue by refactoring
ComponentScanAnnotationParser to ensure that it is not possible to
declare both of the aliased attributes. In addition, the 'value' and
'basePackages' attributes are now annotated with @AliasFor in order to
make the semantics clearer.
Issue: SPR-11393
Spring Framework 4.2 RC1 introduced support for synthesizing an
annotation from an existing annotation in order to provide additional
functionality above and beyond that provided by Java. Specifically,
such synthesized annotations provide support for @AliasFor semantics.
As luck would have it, the same principle can be used to synthesize an
annotation from any map of attributes, and in particular, from an
instance of AnnotationAttributes.
The following highlight the major changes in this commit toward
achieving this goal.
- Introduced AnnotationAttributeExtractor abstraction and refactored
SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler to delegate to an
AnnotationAttributeExtractor.
- Extracted code from SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler into new
AbstractAliasAwareAnnotationAttributeExtractor and
DefaultAnnotationAttributeExtractor implementation classes.
- Introduced MapAnnotationAttributeExtractor for synthesizing an
annotation that is backed by a map or AnnotationAttributes instance.
- Introduced a variant of synthesizeAnnotation() in AnnotationUtils
that accepts a map.
- Introduced findAnnotation(*) methods in AnnotatedElementUtils that
synthesize merged AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation of the
target type.
The following classes have been refactored to use the new support for
synthesizing AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation.
- ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter
- TestAnnotationUtils
- AbstractTestContextBootstrapper
- ActiveProfilesUtils
- ContextLoaderUtils
- DefaultActiveProfilesResolver
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener
- TestPropertySourceAttributes
- TestPropertySourceUtils
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener
- MetaAnnotationUtils
- MvcUriComponentsBuilder
- RequestMappingHandlerMapping
In addition, this commit also includes changes to ensure that arrays
returned by synthesized annotations are properly cloned first.
Issue: SPR-13067
This commit introduces first-class support for aliases for annotation
attributes. Specifically, this commit introduces a new @AliasFor
annotation that can be used to declare a pair of aliased attributes
within a single annotation or an alias from an attribute in a custom
composed annotation to an attribute in a meta-annotation.
To support @AliasFor within annotation instances, AnnotationUtils has
been overhauled to "synthesize" any annotations returned by "get" and
"find" searches. A SynthesizedAnnotation is an annotation that is
wrapped in a JDK dynamic proxy which provides run-time support for
@AliasFor semantics. SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler is the
actual handler behind the proxy.
In addition, the contract for @AliasFor is fully validated, and an
AnnotationConfigurationException is thrown in case invalid
configuration is detected.
For example, @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module is now
declared as follows:
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor(attribute = "locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor(attribute = "value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}
The following annotations and their related support classes have been
modified to use @AliasFor.
- @ManagedResource
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ActiveProfiles
- @TestExecutionListeners
- @TestPropertySource
- @Sql
- @ControllerAdvice
- @RequestMapping
Similarly, support for AnnotationAttributes has been reworked to
support @AliasFor as well. This allows for fine-grained control over
exactly which attributes are overridden within an annotation hierarchy.
In fact, it is now possible to declare an alias for the 'value'
attribute of a meta-annotation.
For example, given the revised declaration of @ContextConfiguration
above, one can now develop a composed annotation with a custom
attribute override as follows.
@ContextConfiguration
public @interface MyTestConfig {
@AliasFor(
annotation = ContextConfiguration.class,
attribute = "locations"
)
String[] xmlFiles();
// ...
}
Consequently, the following are functionally equivalent.
- @MyTestConfig(xmlFiles = "test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration("test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration(locations = "test.xml").

Previously, a Bean implementing `AutoCloseable` (or `Closeable`) was
always destroyed regardless of its bean definition. In particular, the
documented way of disabling the destruction callback via an empty String
did not work.
AutoCloseable beans are now treated pretty much as any other bean: we
still use the presence of the interface to optimize the check of a
destroy method and we only auto-discover the method name to invoke if
the inferred mode is enabled.
Issue: SPR-13022
In general, the Spring Framework aims to construct error message
strings only if an actual error has occurred. This seems to be the
common pattern in the codebase and saves both CPU and memory. However,
there are some places where eager error message formatting occurs
unnecessarily.
This commit addresses this issue in the following classes:
AdviceModeImportSelector, AnnotationAttributes, and
ReadOnlySystemAttributesMap.
The change in ReadOnlySystemAttributesMap also avoids a potential
NullPointerException.

Issue: SPR-8201
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.

Previously, a cache infrastructure with only a CacheResolver would have
worked fine until the JSR-107 API is added to the classpath. When this is
the case, the JCache support kicks in and an exception cache resolver is
all of the sudden required.
The CacheResolver _is_ different as the default implementation does look
different attributes so if a custom CacheResolver is set, it is not
possible to "reuse" it as a fallback exception CacheResolver.
Now, an exception CacheResolver is only required if a JSR-107 annotation
with an "exceptionCacheName" attribute is processed (i.e. the exception
CacheResolver is lazily instantiated if necessary).
The use case of having a CachingConfigurerSupport with only a
CacheResolver was still broken though since the JCache support only looks
for a JCacheConfigurer bean (per the generic type set on
AbstractCachingConfiguration). This has been fixed as well.

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.
Issue: SPR-12743
Previously, adding `@EnableAsync` on a blank application would lead to an
info message stating that `ProxyAsyncConfiguration` is not eligible for
getting processed by all BeanPostProcessors. Concretely, this is ok as
such internal configuration is not meant to be a target of such post
processing.
Revisit the condition for non infrastructure bean only. Add the
infrastructure role to a set of internal configuration, including the
`ProxyAsyncConfiguration`.
Issue: SPR-12761
Prior to this commit, the GroovyBeanDefinitionReader claimed (via its
Javadoc) that it fully supported XML configuration files in addition to
its Groovy DSL; however, this was unfortunately inaccurate since XML
validation was disabled by default which led to certain features of XML
configuration not working. For example, it was impossible to define a
<qualifier> in an XML config file without specifying the 'type'
attribute (which has a default value defined in the spring-beans XSD).
This commit fixes this issue by ensuring that bean definitions in XML
resources are loaded with a "standard" XmlBeanDefinitionReader that is
created with default settings (i.e., with XML validation enabled). With
regard to backwards compatibility, bean definitions defined using the
Groovy DSL are still loaded with an XmlBeanDefinitionReader that has
XML validation disabled by default which is necessary for proper
parsing of the Groovy DSL.

If an `@EventListener` annotated method returns a Collection or an Array,
each individual items are now published as an event instead of publishing
one event with said collection.

JmsInvokerClientInterceptor defines a receiveTimeout field but does not
handle such timeout. This commit adds an additional callback that throws
an RemoteTimeoutException instead.
Sub-classes can override the onReceiveTimeout to throw a different
exception or return a fallback RemoteInvocationResult.
Issue: SPR-12731
Deprecated CommonsPoolTargetSource (supporting commons pool 1.5+) in
favor of CommonsPool2TargetSource with a similar contract.
Commons Pool 2.x uses object equality while Commons Pool 1.x used
identity equality. This clearly means that Commons Pool 2 behaves
differently if several instances having the same identity according to
their `Object#equals(Object)` method are managed in the same pool. To
provide a smooth upgrade, a backward-compatible pool is created by
default; use `setUseObjectEquality(boolean)` if you need the standard
Commons Pool 2.x behavior.
Issue: SPR-12532
Previously, the `@Order` annotation was managed in an inconsistent way
when placed at the implementation level. For simple beans, it was
discovered properly but wasn't for beans requiring a proxy.
OrderComparator.SourceProvider now explicitly allows to return several
order sources; the default implementation returns not only the factory
method (if any) but also the target class if it happens to be different
from the class of the bean.
Issue: SPR-12636
Previously, the exception-handler attribute was not taken care of when
task:annotation-driven is used in AspectJ mode. This commit provides the
expected behavior.
Issue: SPR-12619
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
Add support for annotation-based event listeners. Enabled automatically
when using Java configuration or can be enabled explicitly via the
regular <context:annotation-driven/> XML element. Detect methods of
managed beans annotated with @EventListener, either directly or through
a meta-annotation.
Annotated methods must define the event type they listen to as a single
parameter argument. Events are automatically filtered out according to
the method signature. When additional runtime filtering is required, one
can specify the `condition` attribute of the annotation that defines a
SpEL expression that should match to actually invoke the method for a
particular event. The root context exposes the actual `event`
(`#root.event`) and method arguments (`#root.args`). Individual method
arguments are also exposed via either the `a` or `p` alias (`#a0` refers
to the first method argument). Finally, methods arguments are exposed via
their names if that information can be discovered.
Events can be either an ApplicationEvent or any arbitrary payload. Such
payload is wrapped automatically in a PayloadApplicationEvent and managed
explicitly internally. As a result, users can now publish and listen
for arbitrary objects.
If an annotated method has a return value, an non null result is actually
published as a new event, something like:
@EventListener
public FooEvent handle(BarEvent event) { ... }
Events can be handled in an aynchronous manner by adding `@Async` to the
event method declaration and enabling such infrastructure. Events can
also be ordered by adding an `@Order` annotation to the event method.
Issue: SPR-11622
Update the event publishing infrastructure to support generics-based
events, that is support ApplicationListener implementations that define
a generic event, something like:
public class MyListener
implements ApplicationListener<GenericEvent<String>> { ... }
This listener should only receive events that are matching the generic
signature, for instance:
public class StringEvent extends GenericEvent<String> { ... }
Note that because of type erasure, publishing an event that defines the
generic type at the instance level will not work. In other words,
publishing "new GenericEvent<String>" will not work as expected as type
erasure will define it as GenericEvent<?>.
To support this feature, use the new GenericApplicationListener that
supersedes SmartApplicationListener to handle generics-based even types via
`supportsEventType` that takes a ResolvableType instance instead of the
simple Class of the event. ApplicationEventMulticaster has an additional
method to multicast an event based on the event and its ResolvableType.
Issue: SPR-8201
Previously, one could only set the list of bean names to exclude from
auto-detection and there was no way to add additional bean names.
MBeanExporter now exposes a addExcludedBean method that can be invoked
during the initialization phase to add bean names to ignore.
Issue: SPR-12686
Move MethodCacheKey and related classes to the expression package so that
other parts of the framework can benefit ot it.
CacheExpressionEvaluator is a base class that can be used to cache SpEL
expressions based on its annotation source (i.e. method). Sub-classing
that base class provides a simple to use API to retrieve Expression
instances efficiently.
Issue: SPR-12622
This commit overhauls several of the tests that interact with an
MBeanServer with the goal of increasing the reliability of these tests.
- MBeanClientInterceptorTests now uses JUnit "assumptions" instead of
preemptively returning from test methods, thus allowing such methods
to be properly marked as "ignored" instead of "passed".
- MBeanClientInterceptorTests now uses JUnit's support for expected
exceptions where appropriate.
- MBeanClientInterceptorTests and RemoteMBeanClientInterceptorTests now
use Spring's SocketUtils to find an available TCP port when starting
an MBeanServer instead of aborting the tests when the default JMX
port is not available.
Issue: SPR-12601
Commit 65d163e changed the textual message of an exception thrown by
ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.afterSingletonsInstantiated(), and
this in turn caused the withAmbiguousTaskSchedulers_andSingleTask()
method in EnableSchedulingTests to start failing (albeit only during
'Performance' builds).
This commit updates the assertion to match the current implementation of
ScheduledAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.
Previously, if a bean has a scoped proxy and is annotated to be exposed
to the JMX domain, both the scoped proxy and the target instance were
exposed in the JMX domain, resulting in a duplicate entries. Worse, if
such bean defines an explicit name, the application wouldn't start
because of a name conflict.
This commit deals explicitely with scoped proxy and make sure to only
expose the relevant bean.

'toString()' method is non trivial and gets computed regardless of the
result.

Previously, any @Configuration class was enhanced to namely implement
DisposableBean in order to remove static callbacks that were registered
for that class. This leads to problem if an ApplicationContext is created
and destroyed within the lifecycle on another ApplicationContext in the
same class loader.
It turns out that the destruction callback is no longer necessary as the
interceptors are now stateless: the VM is free to reclaim any of those if
necessary.
