This commit adds a tip clarifying that TestNG's @BeforeClass and
@BeforeSuite methods can not be annotated with Spring's @Transactional
annotation.

This commit is the first part of a more complete Coroutines
support coming in Spring Framework 5.2. It introduces suspendable
Kotlin extensions for Mono based methods in WebFlux classes like
WebClient, ServerRequest, ServerResponse as well as a Coroutines
router usable via `coRouter { }`.
Coroutines extensions use `await` prefix or `AndAwait` suffix,
and most are using names close to their Reactive counterparts,
except `exchange` in `WebClient.RequestHeadersSpec`
which translates to `awaitResponse`.
Upcoming expected changes are:
- Leverage `Dispatchers.Unconfined` (Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines#972)
- Expose extensions for `Flux` based API (Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines#254)
- Introduce interop with `CoroutineContext` (Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines#284)
- Support Coroutines in `ReactiveAdapterRegistry`
- Support Coroutines for WebFlux annotated controllers
- Fix return type of Kotlin suspending functions (gh-21058)
See gh-19975
This commit removes the custom static resources for the reference
documentation and instead uses the new Spring Doc Resources project
https://github.com/spring-io/spring-doc-resources
The asciidoctor theme is now shared between Spring projects and
integrated in the project build.
Headings are optimized for how they appear in the left-hand side
navitation menu, with context provided by parent headings, and not
necessarily for how they read on their own.
At 2nd and 3rd level of nesting, which is where most headings are,
the wrapping becomes too distracting and the left-hand side navigation
sprawling.
Fix some syntax errors and typos
* Fix syntax error in core-aop docs which caused incorrect document
generation
* Surround @Pointcut values with quotation marks
* Replace 'I' with 'you' in the 'In the XML style I can declare the
first two pointcuts' sentence
* Fix compileror typo
* Remove redundant parenthesis
* Remove redundant commas
* Add 'can' to the 'You configure additional aspects in similar fashion'
sentence
* Replace 'You can annotation any method' with 'You can annotate any
method'
* Add space to 'non-recoverablepersistence'
* Replace 'we shows' with 'we show'
* Fix 'java.utils.Map' typo
* Add space to 'byusing'
* Add space to '`Lifecycle`by'
* Replace 'You cN' with 'You can'
* Replace 'encourag' with 'encourage'
I edited for spelling, puncutation, grammar, usage, and corporate voice. I also added a bunch of cross-references and links to the Javadoc.
I also corrected the rendering problems that I had accidentally created in previous commits (because I was adjusting headings and adding callouts to listings.
Before this commit, Kotlin inner class nested configuration
handling thrown an IndexOutOfBoundsException due to bogus filtering
of its constructor parameter reference to an instance of the outer
class.
This commit keep constructor parameter of type INSTANCE in order to
throw a more meaningful NoSuchBeanDefinitionException.

Jetty clients and servers.
Issue: SPR-17179
This commit handles "empty" cases for `ResponseEntity` controller
handler return types when wrapped with a `java.util.Optional` in Spring
MVC or a single `Publisher` like `Mono`.
Given the following example for Spring MVC:
```
@GetMapping("/user")
public Optional<ResponseEntity<User>> fetchUser() {
Optional<User> user = //...
return user.map(ResponseEntity::ok);
}
```
If the resulting `Optional` is empty, Spring MVC will infer a
`ResponseEntity` with an empty body and a 404 HTTP response status.
The same reasoning is applied to Spring WebFlux with Publisher types:
```
@GetMapping("/user")
public Mono<ResponseEntity<User>> fetchUser() {
Mono<User> user = //...
return user.map(ResponseEntity::ok);
}
```
This feature is only valid for `HttpEntity` return types and does not
apply to `@ResponseBody` controller handlers.

Forwarded headers are now processed before ServerWebExchange is created
through ForwardedHeaderTransformer which has the same logic as the
ForwardedHeaderFilter but works on the request only.
ForwardedHeaderFilter is deprecated as of 5.1 but if registered it is
removed from the list of filters and ForwardedHeaderTransformer is used
instead.
Issue: SPR-17072
This commit introduces Protobuf support in WebFlux via dedicated
codecs.
Flux<Message> are serialized/deserialized using delimited Protobuf
messages with the size of each message specified before the message
itself. In that case, a "delimited=true" parameter is added to the
content type.
Mono<Message> are expected to use regular Protobuf message
format (without the size prepended before the message).
Related HttpMessageReader/Writer are automatically registered when the
"com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java" library is detected in the classpath,
and can be customized easily if needed via CodecConfigurer, for example
to specify protocol extensions via the ExtensionRegistry based
constructors.
Both "application/x-protobuf" and "application/octet-stream" mime types
are supported.

Leverage https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-reactive-httpclient
to add support for Jetty in WebClient via JettyClientHttpConnector.
Implemented with buffer copy instead of optimized buffer wrapping

(required for Mono<DataBuffer> for example).

This commit introduces a new AbstractReactiveWebInitializer in
spring-web that relies on WebHttpHandlerBuilder to detect request

The WebTestClient now takes advantage of the support for decoding
response to Void.class in WebClient so that applications can use
expectBody(Void.class) to the same effect as using
response.bodyToMono(Void.class) as documneted on WebClient#exchange.
The top-level, no-arg returnResult method (added very recently) has been
retracted, since the use of returnResult at that level, i.e. without
consuming the response content, should be used mainly for streaming.
It shouldn't be used for "no content" scenarios.
Documentation and Javadoc have been udpated accordingly.
Before this commit those were burried in the Appendix where few would
guess to look. Previously that information was at the top, so it makes
sense to point to the Github wiki from the index HTML page.
Also a general update of the index page. Since we have recently revised
the overview, we can simply point to it and keep it shorter.
The section listing now includes more details per section.
Before this commit WebClient documentation was also included from the
Integration section where the RestTemplate is documented. That is
convenient but results in duplicate content under different URLs.
This commit removes the include from the Integration section and leaves
Extract WebClient content into a separate file that is now included
both in the WebFlux and in the Integration sections.
This allows having RestTemplate and WebClient documented in one place
under Integration while also keeping the same included in the WebFlux
section too.
This commit introduces the following changes.
1) It adds a new Spring @NonNull annotation which allows to apply
@NonNullApi semantic on a specific element, like @Nullable does.
Combined with @Nullable, it allows partial null-safety support when
package granularity is too broad.
2) @Nullable and @NonNull can apply to ElementType.TYPE_USE in order
to be used on generic type arguments (SPR-15942).
3) Annotations does not apply to ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER anymore
since it is not supported yet (applicability for such use case is
controversial and need to be discussed).
4) @NonNullApi does not apply to ElementType.FIELD anymore since in a
lot of use cases (private, protected) it is not part for the public API
+ its usage should remain opt-in. A dedicated @NonNullFields annotation
has been added in order to set fields default to non-nullable.
5) Updated Javadoc and reference documentation.

Fixing typos in the reference documentation for outdated Reactor
operators.
Beyond just formally declaring the current behavior, this revision actually enforces non-null behavior in selected signatures now, not tolerating null values anymore when not explicitly documented. It also changes some utility methods with historic null-in/null-out tolerance towards enforced non-null return values, making them a proper citizen in non-null assignments.
Some issues are left as to-do: in particular a thorough revision of spring-test, and a few tests with unclear failures (ignored as "TODO: NULLABLE") to be sorted out in a follow-up commit.

Since we have a dedicated section regarding Ehcache that is only
applicable to Ehcache 2.x, this commit clarifies that Ehcache 3.x is
JSR-107 compliant and the JCache support should be used with it
rather than attempting to configure the Ehcache 2.x support.
Commit 240f254 has introduced support for `java.util.Optional` in the
cache abstraction. If such type is present, the contained value is cached
if it is present.
This new feature slightly changed the semantic of `#result` that was
documented up till this commit as the "return value of the method
invocation". This is no longer true as `#result` for `Optional<T>`
refers to the `T` instance and not the `Optional` instance.
This commit clarifies both the javadoc and the documentation.

This commit removes `GuavaCache` and support classes. Caffeine supersedes

Since the user controls the value of `spring.status.value`, you wouldn't want to echo unescaped values here in this form. Otherwise one could submit a value of, say, `"/> <script>alert("pwned")</script>`.
Prior to this commit, information regarding avoiding false positives
when testing with JPA had already been added to the Testing chapter of
the reference manual. However, the example did not work properly and
the accompanying text mixed concepts from Hibernate and JPA.
This commit fixes the @Autowired/@PersistenceContext bug, updates the
text, and marks each test as @Transactional in order to avoid any
misinterpretation.
Issue: SPR-9032
Prior to this commit, @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction could
only be declared on methods within test classes. However, JUnit 5 as
well as some existing third-party Runner implementations for JUnit 4
already support Java 8 based interface default methods in various
scenarios -- for example, @Test, @BeforeEach, etc.
This commit brings the Spring TestContext Framework up to date by
supporting the declaration of @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction
on interface default methods.
Issue: SPR-14183
This commit updates the Testing chapter in the reference manual to
refer explicitly to JUnit 4 instead of just "JUnit" (where appropriate)
in order to avoid confusion with forthcoming support for JUnit 5.
Spring uses lots of forbidden references. The current Eclipse settings
set forbiddenReference=error This was not ideal because there were lots of
errors in the workspace.
This commit changes forbiddenReference=warning since we nee to allow
forbidden references.
This commit makes sure to reject an `@EventListener` annotated method
that also uses `@Async`. In such scenario, the method is invoked in a
separate thread and the infrastructure has no handle on the actual reply,
if any.
The documentation has been improved to refer to that scenario.
Issue: SPR-14113
Prior to this commit, the size of the ApplicationContext cache in the
Spring TestContext Framework could grow without bound, leading to
issues with memory and performance in large test suites.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing support for setting the
maximum cache size via a JVM system property or Spring property called
"spring.test.context.cache.maxSize". If no such property is set, a
default value of 32 will be used.
Furthermore, the DefaultContextCache has been refactored to use a
synchronized LRU cache internally instead of a ConcurrentHashMap. The
LRU cache is a simple bounded cache with a "least recently used" (LRU)
eviction policy.
Issue: SPR-8055
Previously, a package private `@ManagedResource` annotated bean was
registered to the JMX domain even if any attempt to invoke an operation
on it will fail since it has to be public.
This commit validates that any `@ManagedResource` annotated bean is
public and throws an InvalidMetadataException otherwise. Note that the
actual bean type does not have to be public as long as the class
annotated with `@ManagedResource` in the hierarchy is pubic and no extra
operations or attributes are defined on the child.
Issue: SPR-14042
Prior to this commit, the @ContextConfiguration annotation was required
to be present even if default XML files, Groovy scripts, or
@Configuration classes were detected; however, in such cases the
@ContextConfiguration was typically declared empty and therefore
seemingly unnecessary boilerplate.
This commit permits @ContextConfiguration to be omitted whenever it can
be reasonably deduced. Consequently, integration tests such as the
following are now supported.
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MyTest {
@Autowired String myBean;
@Test public void example() { /* ... */ }
@Configuration
static class Config {
@Bean String myBean() {
return "Hello";
}
}
}
Issue: SPR-13955
Prior to this commit, `ServletWebRequest.checkNotModified` would only
support conditional GET/HEAD requests with "If-Modified-Since" and/or
"If-None-Match" request headers. In those cases, the server would return
"HTTP 304 Not Modified" responses if the resource didn't change.
This commit adds support for conditional update requests, such as
POST/PUT/DELETE requests with "If-Unmodified-Since" request headers.
If the underlying resource has been modified since the specified date,
the server will return a "409 Precondition failed" response status
to prevent concurrent updates.
Even if the modification status of the resource is reversed here
(modified vs. not modified), we're keeping here the same intent for the
return value, which signals if the response requires more processing or
if the handler method can return immediately:
```
if (request.checkNotModified(lastModified)) {
// shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
return null;
}
```

of the same value)
* when enabled with the "writeWeakETag" init param, the filter will
write weak Etags in its HTTP responses

Prior to this change, VersionResourceResolver and VersionStrategy would
resolve static resources using version strings. They assist
ResourceHttpRequestHandler with serving static resources. The
RequestHandler itself can be configured with HTTP caching strategies to
set Cache-Control headers.
In order to have a complete strategy with Cache-Control and ETag
response headers, developers can't reuse that version string information
and have to rely on other mechanisms (like ShallowEtagHeaderFilter).
This commit makes VersionResourceResolver use that version string to set
it as a request attribute, which will be used by the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler to write an ETag response header.
Issue: SPR-13382
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 {};
// ...

Due to common usage of @Rollback(false), this commit introduces a new
@Commit annotation that more clearly conveys the intent of the code
while retaining the run-time semantics.
@Commit is in fact meta-annotated with @Rollback(false).
Issue: SPR-13279
Since Spring Framework 2.5, @Rollback has been supported on test
methods, with class-level rollback settings configured via
@TransactionConfiguration; however, allowing @Rollback to be declared
on test classes with method-level declarations overriding class-level
declarations would prove more intuitive than having to declare both
@TransactionConfiguration and @Rollback. Furthermore, the
transactionManager flag in @TransactionConfiguration was made
superfluous many years ago with the introduction of support for a
qualifier in @Transactional.
This commit enables @Rollback to be declared at the class level for
default rollback semantics within test class hierarchies and deprecates
@TransactionConfiguration in favor of @Rollback and @Transactional
qualifiers.

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() { .... }

Conversion and validation documentation related to Spring MVC is now
consolidated in the Spring MVC chapter with references to and from
the Validation and Data Binding chapter.
Examples have been updated to include MVC Java config as well.
Add section on Spring MVC TEst vs full integation testing and provide
reference to Spring Boot's @WebIntegrationTest as an alternative.

Beginning with Java 6, the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) is part
of the JDK. Thus, there is no longer a need to explicitly include a
dependency on `activation.jar` when using Spring's email support in
Spring Framework 4.0 and higher which anyway requires Java 6 or higher.
This commit therefore removes the JAF requirement from the reference
manual.
Prior to this commit, the Spring MVC Test framework only provided
support for printing debug information about the MvcResult to STDOUT.
This commit introduces support for logging `MvcResult` details at
`DEBUG` level via the Apache Commons Logging API. In addition, this
commit introduces additional `print(..)` variants for printing debug
information to custom output streams and writers.
Specifically, `MockMvcResultHandlers` has been augmented with the
following new static methods:
- `log()`
- `print(OutputStream)`
- `print(Writer)`

Add a section on Groovy Markup Template support and
reorder sections in the View Technologies chapter, to have in order:
* Thymeleaf
* Groovy Markup Template
* Velocity and Freemarker
* JSPs
* Script Templates
* other views...

Prior to this commit, it was only possible to declare SQL statements
via @Sql within external script resources (i.e., classpath or file
system resources); however, many developers have inquired about the
ability to inline SQL statements with @Sql analogous to the support for
inlined properties in @TestPropertySource.
This commit introduces support for declaring _inlined SQL statements_
in `@Sql` via a new `statements` attribute. Inlined statements are
executed after statements in scripts.
Issue: SPR-13159
Previously, a method could only declare one Jms endpoint so if several
destinations share the exact same business logic, you'd still need one
separate method declaration per destination.
We now make sure that JmsListener is a repeatable annotation, introducing
JmsListeners for pre Java8 use cases.
Issue: SPR-13147
Do not refer to deprecated ParameterizedBeanPropertyRowMapper in reference manual
Change to the BeanPropertyRowMapper from the ParameterizedBeanPropertyRowMapper
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

This change adds support for broadcasting messages with unresolved
user destinations so that other servers can try to resolve it.
That enables sending messages to users who may be connected to a
different server.
Issue: SPR-11620
Previously, the "pubSubDomain" drove the resolution of both the
destination of the listener and the default response destination.
A new "replyPubSubDomain" attribute has been added on the base listener
and can be used to listen on a topic and reply to a queue (or vice
versa). The attribute is exposed via the "response-destination-type" XML
attribute on the listener container element. It is also available on the
JmsListenerContainerFactory for use with the @JmsListener infrastructure.

The use of RedirectAttributes was documented in four places in the
reference documentation. This commit merges some of the places and links
properly between them.

Generally update chapter and add documentation for 4.2 including
the return value types ResponseBodyEmitter, SseEmitter, and
StreamingResponseBody.

The `javadoc-baseurl` asciidoctor attribute is now externalized
(i.e. not included directly in the document anymore).
This allows to properly render javadoc links in single pages, whereas
those URLs were previoulsy only supported in the single page version.
