We cover this more succinctly from other places, e.g. in Model Methods
by referring to the Javadoc of Contentions, or pointing to the
RequestToViewNameTranslator.
@EnableWebFlux bootstraps both annotated controllers and functional

Those permit default values will be overridden
by any user-provided ones while user-provided values
will be combined in an additive way, including
when "*" is specified.
Documentation has been improved accordingly.

This commit introduces a new AbstractReactiveWebInitializer in
spring-web that relies on WebHttpHandlerBuilder to detect request
processing infrastructure beans from an ApplicationContext.
This eliminates the need to create a DispatcherHandler, since it is
expected to be a Spring bean, and as a result the initializers in
spring-webflux have been deprecated.

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The top-level, no-arg returnResult method (added very recently) has been
retracted, since the use of returnResult at that level, i.e. without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.
Issue: SPR-14587
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;
}
```

This commit adds weak ETag support in ShallowEtagHeaderFilter.
This improves the behavior of the filter in tow ways:
* weak ETags in request headers such as `W/"0badc0ffee"` will be

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

Issue: SPR-13299
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 {};
// ...

- Test JavaScript within pages
- Optionally test using mock services to speed up testing
- Share logic between in-container, end-to-end tests and
out-of-container integration tests
Issue: SPR-13158
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.
Issue: SPR-13276, SPR-13277
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

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)`

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

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

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 `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.
Prior to this commit, @DirtiesContext could only be used to close a
test ApplicationContext after an entire test class or after a test
method; however, there are some use cases for which it would be
beneficial to close a test ApplicationContext before a given test class
or test method -- for example, if some rogue (i.e., yet to be
determined) test within a large test suite has corrupted the original
configuration for the ApplicationContext.
This commit provides a solution to such testing challenges by
introducing the following modes for @DirtiesContext.
- MethodMode.BEFORE_METHOD: configured via the new methodMode attribute
- ClassMode.BEFORE_CLASS and ClassMode.BEFORE_EACH_TEST_METHOD: both
configured via the existing classMode attribute

When a bean is retrieved via JNDI using Java config, we apply the same
inferred more for destruction callbacks as for any other bean. If an
object from the JNDI tree has a `close` or `shutdown` method, the
context calls it when it shutdowns.
Unfortunately, we have no way to know that the bean was retrieved via
JNDI and that its lifecycle is managed outside the application.
The documentation has been updated to reflect that problem explicitly.
Issue: SPR-12551
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.

This commit adds support for a same origin check that compares
Origin header to Host header. It also changes the default setting
from all origins allowed to only same origin allowed.
Issues: SPR-12697, SPR-12685
Update documentation to explicitly mention that the cache interceptor
must be fully initialized to provide the expected behavior and therefore
initialization code should not rely on this feature, i;e. typically in
PostConstruct callback.
Since the Transactional infrastructure has the exact same infrastructure,
update that section of the doc as well.

This commit adds ResponseBodyEmitter and SseEmitter (and also
ResponseEntity<ResponseBodyEmitter> and ResponseEntity<SseEmitter>) as
new return value types supported on @RequestMapping controller methods.
See Javadoc on respective types for more details.
Issue: SPR-12212
Various parts of the reference manual as well as the Javadoc for
AnnotationConfigContextLoaderUtils improperly refer to "static inner
classes" even though this terminology does not exist in Java. The Java
Language Specification explicitly refers to such classes as "static
nested classes." An "inner class" must be non-static by definition.
- Copyright end date is now dynamic, based on the current year.
- Added missing spaces in front of web link to ASL 2.0 license file.
- Changed @since tag to 4.2.
In order to avoid breaking changed due to the upcoming SockJS 1.0
release (see SPR-12422 for more details) and link to the right
SockJS documentation version, we now explicitly specify that we
support SockJS protocol 0.3.3 and SockJS client 0.3.x.
Update the documentation to better reflect the fact that a @EnableCaching
configuration class must implement CachingConfigurer in order to provide
advanced customizations to the cache abstraction.
Update the developer guide to explicitly reference the (inferred)
constant introduced in 38e90105a0.
Also emphasis the fact that the (inferred) mode is enabled by default
with Java config and how to disable it if necessary.

Using the "quotes" substitution group by default leads to side effect
when the "*" character is used. This is especially true for AOP pointcut
or for MVC mappings.
Plain verbatim might work most of the time unless you intend to highlight
a piece of code or a comment.
Issue: SPR-12456
Prior to this commit, finding out how many application contexts had
been loaded within a test suite required the use of reflection and a
bit of hacking.
This commit addresses this issue by logging ContextCache statistics
whenever an application context is loaded by the Spring TestContext
Framework (TCF).
The log output can be enabled by setting the
"org.springframework.test.context.cache" logging category to DEBUG.
Issue: SPR-12409
This commit ensures that single quotes nested in double quotes in

This commit restructures the content of the "TestExecutionListener
registration and ordering" section of the Testing chapter in the
reference manual into cross-referenced subsections with more
appropriate titles.
In addition, this commit introduces a new "Merging
TestExecutionListeners" subsection which documents the new MergeMode
feature in @TestExecutionListeners, including an example demonstrating
the MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS mode.

This commit introduces a new "Programmatic transaction management"
section in the Testing chapter of the reference manual with an example
highlighting the new support provided via TestTransaction.
In addition, this commit begins the work to be addressed more
thoroughly in SPR-11399 by overhauling the entire "Transaction
management" section with in-depth discussions on the following topics.
- Test-managed transactions
- Enabling and disabling transactions
- Transaction rollback and commit behavior
- Executing code outside of a transaction
- Configuring a transaction manager
Issue: SPR-11941, SPR-11399
This commit introduces a new "Context configuration with test property
sources" section in the Testing chapter of the reference manual.
In addition, the "Context caching" section has been updated regarding
support for test property source locations and properties in
MergedContextConfiguration.
Issue: SPR-12076
This commit documents support for using Groovy scripts to load
ApplicationContexts using the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) in the
reference manual.
Issue: SPR-12027
- Introduced a new "Executing SQL scripts" section in the Testing
chapter with a subsection covering programmatic script execution via
ResourceDatabasePopulator, ScriptUtils, etc. and a subsection
dedicated to the new declarative support via @Sql.
- Documented @Sql, @SqlConfig, and @SqlGroup in the "Annotations" and
"Meta-annotation" sections.
- Fixed broken cross-reference links to "false positives" with ORM tip.
- Documented methods in JdbcTestUtils.
- Improved layout and information in sections covering
AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests and
AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests.
Issue: SPR-11849
Prior to this commit, the discussion of JUnit vs. Spring with regard to
timeout support in tests erroneously claimed that Spring's support for
JUnit's @Test(timeout=...) did not include set up and tear down or
repetitions. This information, however, was based on a previous version
of SpringJUnit4ClassRunner and is no longer valid.
This commit revises the affected section of the testing chapter in the
reference manual accordingly.
This commit updates the documentation to mention that the #result
object is available in the SpEL context for computing the key to use
for a @CachePut operation.
Issue: SPR-12125
This commit replace the two empty "chapters" dedicated to profiles
and property source to an 'Environment abstraction' chapter that
covers both.
Issue: SPR-12107
This commit adds support for XML serialization/deserialization based on
the jackson-dataformat-xml extension. When using @EnableWebMvc or
<mvc:annotation-driven/>, Jackson will be used by default instead of JAXB2
if jackson-dataformat-xml classes are found in the classpath.
This commit introduces MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter and
MappingJackson2XmlView classes, and common parts between JSON
and XML processing have been moved to AbstractJackson2HttpMessageConverter
and AbstractJackson2View classes.
MappingJackson2XmlView supports serialization of a single object. If the model
contains multiple entries, MappingJackson2XmlView.setModelKey() should be
used to specify the entry to serialize.
Pretty print works in XML, but tests are not included since a Woodstox dependency
is needed, and it is better to continue testing spring-web and spring-webmvc
against JAXB2.
Issue: SPR-11785
This commit introduces the ability to specify an inline map in
an expression. The syntax is similar to inline lists and of
the form: "{key:value,key2:value}". The keys can optionally
be quoted. The documentation is also updated with information
on the syntax.
Issue: SPR-9472
This commit updates JmsMessagingTemplate to support the
MessageRequestReplyOperation interface that provides synchronous
request/reply operations.
As JmsMessagingTemplate delegates everything under the scenes to
JmsTemplate, the latter has been updated as well to offer such lower
level operation.
Issue: SPR-12037
Prior to this commit, customizing the concurrency to use fo a given JMS
listener involved to define it in a specific listener-container. As
this is quite restrictive, users may stop using the XML namespace
support altogether to fallback on regular abstract bean definition for
the container.
This commit adds a concurrency attribute to the jms and jca listener
element as well as on the @JmsListener annotation. If the value is set,
it takes precedence; otherwise the value provided by the factory is
used.
Issue: SPR-11988
This change removes most logging at INFO level and also ensures the
amount of information logged at DEBUG level is useful, brief, and
not duplicated.
Also added is custom logging for STOMP frames to ensure very readable
and consise output.
Issue: SPR-11934
This change adds collection of stats in key infrastructure components
of the WebSocket message broker config setup and exposes the gathered
information for logging and viewing (e.g. via JMX).
WebSocketMessageBrokerStats is a single class that assembles all
gathered information and by default logs it once every 15 minutes.
Application can also easily expose to JMX through an MBeanExporter.
A new section in the reference documentation provides a summary of
the available information.
Issue: SPR-11739
Commit eea230f introduced a regression by adding a support for the
"result" variable in SpEL expression for @CachePut. As such expressions
cannot be evaluated upfront anymore, any method that contains both
@Cacheable and @CachePut annotations are always executed even when
their conditions are mutually exclusive.
This is an example of such mutual exclusion
@Cacheable(condition = "#p1", key = "#p0")
@CachePut(condition = "!#p1", key = "#p0")
public Object getFooById(Object id, boolean flag) { ... }
This commit updates CacheEvaluationContext to define a set of
unavailable variables. When such variable is accessed for a given
expression, an exception is thrown. This is used to restore the
evaluation of the @CachePut condition upfront by registering "result"
as an unavailable variable.
If all @CachePut operations have been excluded by this upfront check,
the @Cacheable operation is processed as it was before. Such upfront
check restore the behavior prior to eea230f.
Issue: SPR-11955
Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) was
compatible with JUnit 4.5 or higher.
This commit effectively raises the minimum version of JUnit that is
officially supported by the TCF to JUnit 4.9, thereby aligning with
similar upgrades made in the Spring Framework 4.0 release (i.e.,
upgrading minimum requirements on third-party libraries to versions
released mid 2010 or later).

Issue: SPR-8045
Prior to this commit, CacheResolver could not be configured through
the XML namespace (i.e. cache:annotation-driven). This is now the
case.
Issue: SPR-11490
This commit adds the necessary infrastructure to handle exceptions
thrown by a cache provider in both Spring's and JCache's caching
abstractions.
Both interceptors can be configured with a CacheErrorHandler that
defines several callbacks on typical cache operations. In particular,
handleCacheGetError can be implemented in such a way that an
exception thrown by the provider is handled as a cache miss by the
caching abstraction.
The handler can be configured with both CachingConfigurer and the
XML namespace (error-handler property)
Issue: SPR-9275
This commit adds a JMS implementation of MessageSendingOperations,
allowing to send JMS messages using Spring's standard Messaging
abstraction.
MessagingMessageConverter is a standard JMS's MessageConverter that
can convert Spring's Message to JMS message and vice versa. Existing
infrastructure has been updated to use this implementation.
Issue: SPR-11772
Spring MVC now supports Jackon's serialization views for rendering
different subsets of the same POJO from different controller
methods (e.g. detailed page vs summary view).
Issue: SPR-7156
Prior to this commit, RestTemplate's documentation advised to a
DecompressingHttpClient decorator along with Apache's HttpClient in
order to support gzipped responses.
Since this is now deprecated as of Apache HttpClient 4.3+, this commits
update the documentation with HttpClientBuilder.
This change adds support for a custom "websocket" scope.
WebSocket-scoped beans may be injected into controllers with message
handling methods as well as channel interceptor registered on the
"inboundClientChannel".
Issue: SPR-11305
This commit separates the BackOff configuration from an actual
execution. BackOffExecution now contains all the state of a
particular execution and BackOff is only meant to start (i.e.
create) a new execution.
The method "reset" has been removed as its no longer necessary:
when an execution does not need to be used for a given operation
anymore it can be simply discarded.
Issue: SPR-11746
This commit adds a "back-off" attribute to the jms:listener-container
element so that a BackOff instance can be provided for users of the
XML namespace.
Issue: SPR-11746
Before this change, subscribing to a user destination and use of
@SendToUser annotation required an authenticated user.
This change makes it possible to subscribe to a user destination from
WebSocket sessions without an authenticated user. In such cases the
destination is associated with one session only rather than with a
user (and all their sessions).
It is then also possible to send a message to a user destination
via "/user/{sessionId}/.." rather than "/user/{user}/...".
That means @SendToUser works relying on the session id of the input
message, effectively sending a reply to destination private to the
session.
A key use case for this is handling an exception with an
@MessageExceptionHandler method and sending a reply with @SendToUser.
Issue: SPR-11309
This commit is a general update of the Cache Abstraction chapter.
Existing sections have been updated with recent improvements made in
that area, in particular:
* Guava and JSR-107 caches support
* New @CacheConfig annotation allowing to share some key customizations
at class-level
* CacheResolver interface used to resolve the cache(s) to use at
runtime
* Update section on @CachePut
This commit also describes the support of standard JCache annotations,
i.e. JSR-107.

Prior to this commit, there were numerous places in the reference
manual, where we would see output similar to the following:
BeanDefinition`s with the `ApplicationContext
This commit addresses this issue by using unconstrained quotes
(e.g., ++XYZ++s) instead of backticks (e.g., `XYZ`s) when the formatted
text is immediately followed by an "s".
This commit also corrects a few typos and corrects natural English
pluralization of Java code elements in the reference manual where
appropriate -- for example, "@Controllers" becomes "@Controller classes,
etc.
Issue: SPR-11650
Prior to this commit, an exception thrown by an @Async void method
was not further processed as there is no way to transmit that
exception to the caller.
The AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler is a new strategy interface that
can be implemented to handle unexpected exception thrown during the
invocation of such asynchronous method.
The handler can be specified using either the XML namespace or by
implementing the AsyncConfigurer interface with the EnableAsync
annotation.
Issue: SPR-8995
Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework did not support
the declaration of both 'locations' and 'classes' within
@ContextConfiguration at the same time.
This commit addresses this in the following manner:
- ContextConfigurationAttributes no longer throws an
IllegalArgumentException if both 'locations' and 'classes' are
supplied to its constructor.
- Concrete SmartContextLoader implementations now validate the
supplied MergedContextConfiguration before attempting to load the
ApplicationContext. See validateMergedContextConfiguration().
- Introduced tests for hybrid context loaders like the one used in
Spring Boot. See HybridContextLoaderTests.
- Updated the Testing chapter of the reference manual so that it no
longer states that locations and classes cannot be used
simultaneously, mentioning Spring Boot as well.
- The Javadoc for @ContextConfiguration has been updated accordingly.
- Added hasLocations(), hasClasses(), and hasResources() convenience
methods to MergedContextConfiguration.
Issue: SPR-11634
This commit rationalizes the use of @Order so that the standard
@Priority annotation can be used instead. The handling of both
annotations are now defined in OrderUtils.
This also updates the link to the JavaEE API so that we refer to
JavaEE7 instead of JavaEE6.
Issue: SPR-11639
Although the need to map the ASYNC dispatcher type to a Filter was
already mentioned, it wasn't very prominent and can be quite critical
in some cases. This change addresses that.

BufferingStompDecoder message buffer size limit can now be configured
with JavaConfig MessageBrokerRegistry.setMessageBufferSizeLimit() or
with XML <websocket:message-brocker message-buffer-size="">.
Issue: SPR-11527
Prior to this commit, the codebase was using a mix of log4j.xml
and log4j.properties for test-related logging configuration. This
can be an issue as log4j takes the xml variant first when looking
for a default bootstrap configuration.
In practice, some modules declaring the properties variant were
taking the xml variant configuration from another module.
The general structure of the configuration has also been
harmonized to provide a standard console output as well as an
easy way to enable trace logs for the current module.
In Tiles v3 integration, underscores in filenames are
intended to identify the definition locale. This behavior
is now documented in order to avoid unexpected results
with filenames like tiles_definitions.xml.
This commit also updates Tiles v2 references to Tiles v3
in the Spring reference documentation.

This commit provides a first attempt at defining a standard code
formatting scheme for the Spring Framework in Intellij IDEA.
These are the major changes compared to standard settings:
* default indent option to use tab character instead of space for
all languages
* one space before the left brace of an array initializer
* keep when reformating: multiple expressions in one line,
simple blocks in one line
* method declaration parameters: do not align when multiline
* else, catch and finally on new line
* keep one space before } (solely use to keep the space between the
end of the last method and the end of the class)
* minimum blank line after class header 0 (instead of 1)
* Disabled Javadoc formatting
* class count to trigger static import to 50 (to prevent
import org.foo.*; instead of listing the classes of org.foo)
* changed the import sequence to import in the following order:
static imports, java.*, javax.*, others, org.springframework.*. Each
sequence is separated by a space
The Servlet API does not provide notifications when a client
disconnects, see see https://java.net/jira/browse/SERVLET_SPEC-44.
Therefore network IO failures may occur simply because a client has
gone away. Before this change that could fill logs with unnecessary
stack traces.
After this change we make a best effort to identify such network
failures, on a per-server basis (tested with Jetty, Tomcat, Glassfish,
and WildFly), and log them under a separate log category.
A simple one-line message is logged at DEBUG level (i.e. no stack trace)
while a full stack trace is shown at TRACE level.
Issue: SPR-11438
The breakout box named "Constructor-based or setter-based DI?" in the

Before this change, issues surrounding the use of @Controller's in
combination with AOP proxying, resulted in an IllegalArgumentException
when trying to invoke the controller method.
This change detects such cases proactively and reports them with a
clear recommendation to use class-based proxying when it comes to
@Controller's. This is the most optimcal approach for controllers
in many respects, also allows @MVC annotations to remain on the
class.
The documentation has also been updated to have a specific section
on @Controller's and AOP proxying providing the same advice.
Issue:SPR-11281
This commit fixes some formatting issues in the 'TestContext Framework
support classes' section of the reference manual that were introduced
in the conversion from DocBook to AsciiDoc.
Update reference documentation to make it clearer that only
`spring-core` has a direct dependency on `commons-logging`.
Also reference the 'empty jar' alternative option as described in
the SLF4J FAQ.
Prior to this commit, it was not clear how to enable the support of matrix
variables in the mvc namespace. As the feature is disabled by default, added
something to highlight the part that explains how to configure it
Issue: SPR-11331
Payload parameters in @MessageMapping annotated

In order to help developers avoid surprises from unintended use of
"@Bean Lite Mode" when referencing classes via @ContextConfiguration in
the TestContext framework, this commit duplicates the previous

@ContextConfiguration as a tip in the "Context configuration with
annotated classes" section of the Testing chapter in the reference
manual.

Prior to this commit, the DispatcherServlet would send an error
response using the HttpServlet API when no Handler was found to
handle this request.
Now the DispatcherServlet can be configured to throw a
NoHandlerFoundException, when the throwExceptionIfNoHandlerFound
property is set to "true".
Those exceptions can be later on caught by default or custom
HandlerExceptionResolvers/ExceptionHandlers.
Issue: SPR-10481
Prior to this commit, the active bean definition profiles to use when
loading an ApplicationContext for tests could only be configured
declaratively (i.e., via hard-coded values supplied to the 'value' or
'profiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles).
This commit makes it possible to programmatically configure active bean
definition profiles in tests via a new ActiveProfileResolver interface.
Custom resolvers can be registered via a new 'resolver' attribute
introduced in @ActiveProfiles.
Overview of changes:
- Introduced a new ActiveProfilesResolver API.
- Added a 'resolver' attribute to @ActiveProfiles.
- Updated ContextLoaderUtils.resolveActiveProfiles() to support
ActiveProfilesResolvers.
- Documented these new features in the reference manual.
- Added new content to the reference manual regarding the
'inheritProfiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles
- Removed the use of <lineannotation> Docbook markup in the testing
chapter of the reference manual for Java code examples in order to
allow comments to have proper syntax highlighting in the generated
HTML and PDF.
Issue: SPR-10338
Commit 5b1165 was an attempt to leave semicolon content in the URL path
while ignoring it for request mapping purposes. However, it becomes
quite difficult to manage and semicolon content should not always be
ignored (sometimes a semicolon is used as a separator of multiple items
in a path segment, rather than for matrix variables).
This change effectively reverts back to the original approach in 3.2
where a flag on AbstractHandlerMapping can be used to have semicolon
content removed or kept. If kept, path segments with matrix variables
must be represented with a path segment.
The main difference is that by default it is removed everywhere
including the MVC namespace and Java config.
Issue: SPR-10427, SPR-10234
Removed spring-beans.dtd (the 1.x variant) and spring-oxm-1.5.xsd (pre-Spring-Framework variant), in order to raise the backwards compatibility limit a little bit at least. We'll keep supporting the 2.0 and 2.5 xsd versions for the time being, as well as spring-beans-2.0.dtd.
Removed the ref 'local' attribute in spring-beans-4.0.xsd since 'local' lost its differentiating role to a regular bean ref back in the 3.1 days when we started allowing for the same bean id to reappear in a different beans section of the same configuration file (with a different profile).

Rework the reference documentation to better distinguish the differences
between @Bean methods used in @Comonent vs @Configuration classes. The
'Using the @Bean annotation' section now only covers concepts applicable
when using @Bean methods in @Configuration _or_ @Component classes.
Information only applicable to @Configuration classes has been moved to
a new 'Using the @Configuration annotation' section.
An additional sidebar section attempts to explain the differences
between the two approaches.

This commit reformats the testing chapter (and adds minor polishing
changes) in order to avoid massive merge diffs in upcoming commits.
Issue: SPR-10357
Prior to this commit the Spring TestContext Framework supported creating
only flat, non-hierarchical contexts. There was no easy way to create
contexts with parent-child relationships.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a new @ContextHierarchy
annotation that can be used in conjunction with @ContextConfiguration
for declaring hierarchies of application contexts, either within a
single test class or within a test class hierarchy. In addition,
@DirtiesContext now supports a new 'hierarchyMode' attribute for
controlling context cache clearing for context hierarchies.
- Introduced a new @ContextHierarchy annotation.
- Introduced 'name' attribute in @ContextConfiguration.
- Introduced 'name' property in ContextConfigurationAttributes.
- TestContext is now aware of @ContextHierarchy in addition to
@ContextConfiguration.
- Introduced findAnnotationDeclaringClassForTypes() in AnnotationUtils.
- Introduced resolveContextHierarchyAttributes() in ContextLoaderUtils.
- Introduced buildContextHierarchyMap() in ContextLoaderUtils.
- @ContextConfiguration and @ContextHierarchy may not be used as
top-level, class-level annotations simultaneously.
- Introduced reference to the parent configuration in
MergedContextConfiguration and WebMergedContextConfiguration.
- Introduced overloaded buildMergedContextConfiguration() methods in
ContextLoaderUtils in order to handle context hierarchies separately
from conventional, non-hierarchical contexts.
- Introduced hashCode() and equals() in ContextConfigurationAttributes.
- ContextLoaderUtils ensures uniqueness of @ContextConfiguration
elements within a single @ContextHierarchy declaration.
- Introduced CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate that can be used for
loading contexts with transparent support for interacting with the
context cache -- for example, for retrieving the parent application
context in a context hierarchy.
- TestContext now delegates to CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate for
loading contexts.
- Introduced getParentApplicationContext() in MergedContextConfiguration
- The loadContext(MergedContextConfiguration) methods in
AbstractGenericContextLoader and AbstractGenericWebContextLoader now
set the parent context as appropriate.
- Introduced 'hierarchyMode' attribute in @DirtiesContext with a
corresponding HierarchyMode enum that defines EXHAUSTIVE and
CURRENT_LEVEL cache removal modes.
- ContextCache now internally tracks the relationships between contexts
that make up a context hierarchy. Furthermore, when a context is
removed, if it is part of a context hierarchy all corresponding
contexts will be removed from the cache according to the supplied
HierarchyMode.
- AbstractGenericWebContextLoader will set a loaded context as the
ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE in the MockServletContext when
context hierarchies are used if the context has no parent or if the
context has a parent that is not a WAC.
- Where appropriate, updated Javadoc to refer to the
ServletTestExecutionListener, which was introduced in 3.2.0.
- Updated Javadoc to avoid and/or suppress warnings in spring-test.
- Suppressed remaining warnings in code in spring-test.

Allow @Cachable, @CachePut and equivalent XML configuration to provide
a SpEL expression that can be used to veto putting an item into the
cache. Unlike 'condition' the 'unless' parameter is evaluated after
the method has been called and can therefore reference the #result.
For example:
@Cacheable(value="book",
condition="#name.length < 32",
unless="#result.hardback")
This commit also allows #result to be referenced from @CacheEvict
expressions as long as 'beforeInvocation' is false.

This commit improves the "Spring Test Dependencies" section of the 3.2
migration guide by correctly explaining that Hamcrest Core is now a
required transitive dependency of JUnit.
Issue: SPR-10251
This commit fixes a typo in the "New Features and Enhancements in Spring
Framework 3.2" chapter of the reference manual. Specifically,
ContentNegotiationStrategy is now spelled correctly.
Remove Javadoc settings from generated eclipse meta-data. Unfortunately
eclipse provides too many false warnings due to the fact that @Link and
@See tags in Spring often refer modules to which they cannot directly
depend.
- Change output folders to /bin/main and /bin/test. This prevents
'gradle clean' from breaking eclipse.
- Update copyright header for new files to '2002-2013'
The Validation chapter now includes information on combining JSR-303
Bean Validation with additional Spring Validator's that don't require
the use of annotations.

Update gradle to generate the following project specific eclipse
settings:
- Java formatting
- Cleanup options
- Warning settings
- Code template with copyright header
- WTP module meta-data
In addition this commit changes the eclipse project .classpath file
to output test and main classes to different folders. This is required
to prevent eclipse WTP from packaging test classes into /WEB-INF/lib
jar files.
Issue: SPR-9518
Prior to this change, spring-beans contained its own META-INF containing
spring.handlers and spring.schemas files in src/main/resources; it also
had files of the same name within src/test/resources/META-INF, causing
'duplicate resource' warnings and confusion in general.
This commit moves the com.foo test package, it's associated namespace
parsing tests and test versions of META-INF files to the root project
and it's src/test integration testing folder.
Issue: SPR-9431
Prior to this commit many test utility classes and sample beans were
duplicated across projects. This was previously necessary due to the
fact that dependent test sources were not shared during a gradle
build. Since the introduction of the 'test-source-set-dependencies'
gradle plugin this is no longer the case.
This commit attempts to remove as much duplicate code as possible,
co-locating test utilities and beans in the most suitable project.
For example, test beans are now located in the 'spring-beans'
project.
Some of the duplicated code had started to drift apart when
modifications made in one project where not ported to others. All
changes have now been consolidated and when necessary existing tests
have been refactored to account for the differences.

Move code from spring-build-junit into spring-core/src/test along with
several other test utility classes. This commit removes the temporary
spring-build-junit project introduced in commit
b083bbdec7.
Make use of the new JUnit functionality introduced in the previous
commit to 'Assume' that perfomance- and timing-sensitive tests should
run only when TestGroup.PERFORMANCE is selected, i.e. when
-PtestGroups="performance" has been provided at the Gradle command line.
The net effect is that these tests are now ignored by default, which
will result in far fewer false-negative CI build failures due to
resource contention and other external factors that cause slowdowns.
We will set up a dedicated performance CI build to run these tests on
an isolated machine, etc.
Issue: SPR-9984
Fix serialization warnings by applying @SuppressWarnings("serial")
when appropriate.
In certain cases and for unknown reasons, a correctly-placed
@SuppressWarnings("serial") annotation will fix the warning at the
javac level (i.e. the Gradle command-line), but will produce an
"unnecessary @SuppressWarnings" warning within Eclipse. In these
cases, a private static final serialVersionUID field has been added
with the default value of 1L.
This change upgrades the spring-framework build to AspectJ 1.7.1 to
ensure compatibility. We remain backward-compatible to at least AJ
1.6.12 (the previous version), and likely back to 1.6.7.
AJ 1.7 allows for weaving Java 7 bytecode, particularly with regard
to invokedynamic instructions, and furthermore makes improvements to
the aspectj language itself to allow users to take advantage of Java 7-
style language features within aspects. See [1] for details.

This commit upgrades the compile dependency on JUnit in the spring-test
module as well as the global test dependency on JUnit for the entire
test suite to 4.11 GA.
In addition, the spring-test module now depends on junit:junit instead

Tiles 3 has modified packages and classes as well as additional
dependencies, notably "tiles-request-api", which is a request/response
abstraction independent of Servlet and JSP APIs.
In order to have both Tiles 2 and Tiles 3 integrations, the source for
the Tiles 3 integration is in a separate project spring-webmvc-tiles3.
The build process merges the compiled Tiles 3 integration classes into
the spring-webmvc module so in effect it contains both the Tiles 2 and
the Tiles 3 integrations.
This change originated as a pull request at spring-framework-issues:

Moving @EnableMBeanExport and its MBeanExportConfiguration
@Configuration class into context.annotation caused a side effect with
ComponentScanningWithLTWTests, which component scans context.annotation
in order to test LTW behavior. Picking up MBeanExportConfiguration
without proper MBean configuration resulted in a NullPointerException
during test execution.
This commit simply filters out all @Configuration classes from the LTW
test's component-scanning directive.

Before this change View implementations set the response content type
to the fixed value they were configured with.

"application/vnd.example-v1+xml".
Issue: SPR-9807.
Class#getDeclaredMembers returns arbitrary results under JDK7. This
results in non-deterministic execution of JUnit test methods, often
revealing unintended dependencies between methods that rely on a
specific order to succeed.
JUnit 4.11 contains support for predictable test ordering [1], but at
the time of this commit, JUnit 4.11 has not yet been released.
Therefore we are testing against a snapshot version [2], which has been
uploaded to repo.springsource.org [3] for easy access. Note that this
artifact may be removed when JUnit 4.11 goes GA.
- Care has been taken to ensure that spring-test's compile-time
dependency on JUnit remains at 4.10. This means that the spring-test
pom.xml will continue to have an optional <dependency> on JUnit
4.10, instead of the 4.11 snapshot.
- For reasons not fully understood, the upgrade to the 4.11 snapshot
of junit-dep caused NoSuchMethodErrors around certain Hamcrest
types, particularly CoreMatchers and Matchers. import statements
have been updated accordingly throughout affected test cases.
- Runtime errors also occurred around uses of JUnit @Rule and
ExpectedException. These have been reverted to use simpler
mechanisms like @Test(expected) in the meantime.
- Some test methods with order-based dependencies on one another have
been renamed in order to fall in line with JUnit 4.11's new method
ordering (as opposed to actually fixing the inter-test
dependencies). In other areas, the fix was as simple as adding a
tearDown method and cleaning up state.
- For no apparent reason, the timeout in AspectJAutoProxyCreatorTests'
testAspectsAndAdvisorNotAppliedToPrototypeIsFastEnough method begins
to be exceeded. Prior to this commit the timeout value was 3000 ms;
on the CI server under Linux/JDK6 and JDK7, the test begins taking
anywhere from 3500-5500 ms with this commit. It is presumed that
this is an incidental artifact of the upgrade to JUnit 4.11. In any
case, there are no changes to src/main in this commit, so this
should not actually represent a performance risk for Spring
Framework users. The timeout has been increased to 6000 ms to
accommodate this situation.

The AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer now provides support for
the registration of filters to be mapped to the DispatcherServlet.
It also sets the asyncSupported flag by default on the
DispatcherServlet and all registered filters.
Issue: SPR-9696
A new @MatrixVariable annotation allows injecting matrix variables
into @RequestMapping methods. The matrix variables may appear in any
path segment and should be wrapped in a URI template for request
mapping purposes to ensure request matching is not affected by the
order or the presence/absence of such variables. The @MatrixVariable
annotation has an optional "pathVar" attribute that can be used to
refer to the URI template where a matrix variable is located.
Previously, ";" (semicolon) delimited content was removed from the
path used for request mapping purposes. To preserve backwards
compatibility that continues to be the case (except for the MVC
namespace and Java config) and may be changed by setting the
"removeSemicolonContent" property of RequestMappingHandlerMapping to
"false". Applications using the MVC namespace and Java config do not
need to do anything further to extract and use matrix variables.
Issue: SPR-5499, SPR-7818
Rename ExceptionHandlerSupport to ResponseEntityExceptionHandler and
emphasize the contrast to DefaultHandlerExceptionResovler -- i.e.
one returns a ResponseEntity and relies on message converters while
the other returns a ModelAndView and relies on view resolution.
Issue: SPR-9290
An @RequestBody or an @RequestPart argument can now be followed by an
Errors/BindingResult argument making it possible to handle validation
errors (as a result of an @Valid annotation) locally within the
@RequestMapping method.
Issue: SPR-7114
The new class is functionally equivalent to the
DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver (i.e. it translates Spring MVC
exceptions to various status codes) but uses an @ExceptionHandler
returning a ResponseEntity<Object>, which means it can be customized to
write error content to the body of the response.
Issue: SPR-9290
Starting with Spring 3.1 applications can specify
contextInitializerClasses via context-param and init-param in web.xml;
however, there is currently no way to have such initializers invoked in
integration testing scenarios without writing a custom
SmartContextLoader. For comprehensive integration testing it should
therefore be possible to re-use ApplicationContextInitializers in the
Spring TestContext Framework as well.
This commit makes this possible at the @ContextConfiguration level by
allowing an array of ACI types to be specified, and the out-of-the-box
SmartContextLoader implementations invoke the declared initializers at
the appropriate time.
- Added initializers and inheritInitializers attributes to
@ContextConfiguration.
- Introduced support for ApplicationContextInitializers in
ContextConfigurationAttributes, MergedContextConfiguration, and
ContextLoaderUtils.
- MergedContextConfiguration stores context initializer classes as a
Set and incorporates them into the implementations of hashCode() and
equals() for proper context caching.
- ApplicationContextInitializers are invoked in the new
prepareContext(GenericApplicationContext, MergedContextConfiguration)
method in AbstractGenericContextLoader, and ordering declared via the
Ordered interface and @Order annotation is honored.
- Updated DelegatingSmartContextLoader to support initializers.
Specifically, a test class may optionally declare neither XML
configuration files nor annotated classes and instead declare only
application context initializers. In such cases, an attempt will
still be made to detect defaults, but their absence will not result
an an exception.
- Documented support for application context initializers in Javadoc
and in the testing chapter of the reference manual.
Issue: SPR-9011
Classes with this annotation can contain @ExceptionHandler,

Prior to this change, the repackaged spring-asm and spring-cglib jars
were being included wholesale in the spring-core jar, whereas the
intention was to include the unzipped classfiles.
This change ensures that spring-asm and spring-cglib jars are unzipped
on the fly when creating the spring-core jar.
Issue: SPR-9669
CGLIB 3 has been released in order to depend on ASM 4, which Spring now
depends on internally (see previous commit).
This commit eliminates spring-beans' optional dependency on cglib-nodep
v2.2 and instead repackages net.sf.cglib => org.springframework.cglib
much in the same way we have historically done with ASM.
This change is beneficial to users in several ways:
- Eliminates the need to manually add CGLIB to the application
classpath; especially important for the growing number of
@Configuration class users. Java-based configuration functionality,
along with proxy-target-class and method injection features now
work 'out of the box' in Spring 3.2.
- Eliminates the possibility of conflicts with other libraries that
may dependend on differing versions of CGLIB, e.g. Hibernate
3.3.1.ga and its dependency on CGLIB 2.1.3 would easily cause a
conflict if the application were depending on CGLIB 3 for
Spring-related purposes.
- Picks up CGLIB 3's changes to support ASM 4, meaning that CGLIB is
that much less likely to work well in a Java 7 environment due to
ASM 4's support for transforming classes with invokedynamic
bytecode instructions.
On CGLIB and ASM:
CGLIB's own dependency on ASM is also transformed along the way to
depend on Spring's repackaged org.springframework.asm, primarily to
eliminate unnecessary duplication of ASM classfiles in spring-core and
in the process save around 100K in the final spring-core JAR file size.
It is coincidental that spring-core and CGLIB currently depend on the
exact same version of ASM (4.0), but it is also unlikely to change any
time soon. If this change does occur and versions of ASM drift, then
the size optimization mentioned above will have to be abandoned. This
would have no compatibility impact, however, so this is a reasonable
solution now and for the forseeable future.
On a mysterious NoClassDefFoundError:
During the upgrade to CGLIB 3.0, Spring test cases began failing due to
NoClassDefFoundErrors being thrown from CGLIB's DebuggingClassWriter
regarding its use of asm-util's TraceClassVisitor type. previous
versions of cglib-nodep, particularly 2.2, did not cause this behavior,
even though cglib-nodep has never actually repackaged and bundled
asm-util classes. The reason for these NoClassDefFoundErrors occurring
now is still not fully understood, but appears to be due to subtle JVM
bytecode preverification rules. The hypothesis is that due to minor
changes in DebuggingClassWriter such as additional casts, access to
instance variables declared in the superclass, and indeed a change in
the superclass hierarchy, preverification may be kicking in on the
toByteArray method body, at which point the reference to the missing
TraceClassVisitor type is noticed and the NCDFE is thrown. For this
reason, a dummy implementation of TraceClassVisitor has been added to
spring-core in the org.springframework.asm.util package. This class
simply ensures that Spring's own tests never result in the NCDFE
described above, and more importantly that Spring's users never
encounter the same.
Other changes include:
- rename package-private Cglib2AopProxy => CglibAopProxy
- eliminate all 'cglibAvailable' checks, warnings and errors
- eliminate all 'CGLIB2' language in favor of 'CGLIB'
- eliminate all mention in reference and java docs of needing to add
cglib(-nodep) to one's application classpath
Issue: SPR-9669
ASM 4.0 is generally compatibile with Java 7 classfiles, particularly
including 'invokedynamic' instructions. This is important when
considering that Spring's component-scanning support is internally
ASM-based and it is increasingly likely that component classes having
invokedynamic instructions may be encountered and read by ASM.
This upgrade, then, is primarily preventive in nature.
Changes include:
- upgrade from ASM 2.2.3 to ASM 4.0
- adapt to ASM API changes as necessary throughout spring-core,
resulting in no impact to the public Spring API.
- remove dedicated spring-asm module
- use new :spring-core:asmRepackJar task to repackage
org.objectweb.asm => org.springframework.asm as per usual and write
repackaged classes directly into spring-core jar
The choice to eliminate the spring-asm module altogether and instead
inline the repackaged classes directly into spring-core is first to
eliminate an otherwise unnecessary second jar. spring-core has a
non-optional dependency on spring-asm meaning it is always on the
application classpath. This change simplifies that situation by
consoliding two jars into one. The second reason for this choice is in
anticipation of upgrading CGLIB to version 3 and inlining it into
spring-core as well. See subsequent commit for details.
Issue: SPR-9669
Attempting to register a custom MethodFilter with a
StandardEvaluationContext after invoking setMethodResolvers() with a
custom list of MethodResolver instances results in a
NullPointerException. Based on the current documentation in
StandardEvaluationContext it is unclear what the expected behavior
should be, but either the implementation is broken, or the use case is
unsupported. In either case, allowing a NullPointerException to be
thrown is inappropriate.
This commit documents the fact that the SpEL MethodFilter is intended to
be used with the ReflectiveMethodResolver. Furthermore,
StandardEvaluationContext.registerMethodFilter() now throws an
IllegalStateException if the user attempts to set a filter after having
registered a custom set of resolvers.
Issue: SPR-9621
The Spring Expression Language currently supports nested single quotes
within expressions but not nested double quotes.
The SpEL tokenizer has been modified to support nested double quotes in
the same way it supports single quotes. A sequence of two double quotes
will now be replaced by one when evaluated.
Extra error handling has also been added to report when invalid escaping
is encountered, since SpEL does not support escaping with backslash.
Issue: SPR-9620
SpEL typically supports logical operators for boolean expressions
consistent with standard Java language syntax. However, the operators
for logical AND and logical OR are currently only supported as textual
operators. In other words, SpEL does not support the use of && and || as
logical operators.
The SpEL tokenizer has now been modified to recognize && and || as
symbolic boolean operators. The parser has been modified to allow the
use of either the textual or symbolic operators.
Issue: SPR-9614
- renamed resolveParameterizedReturnType() to

Issue: SPR-9493
Prior to this commit null literals in SpEL expressions had to be
specified as "null" (i.e., all lowercase).
With this commit null literals in SpEL expressions are interpreted in a
case-insensitive manner, analogous to the current support for boolean
literals.
Issue: SPR-9613
When attempting to parse an Integer literal expression such as
42.toString(), SpEL currently throws a SpelParseException with a message
similar to: "EL1041E:(pos 3): After parsing a valid expression, there is
still more data in the expression: 'toString'". The problem here is that
'3.' is currently considered a valid number (including the dot).
However, SpEL succeeds at parsing an equivalent expression for a Double
literal such as 3.14.isInfinite().
To address this issue, the SpEL Tokenizer no longer consumes the
trailing '.' on an integer as part of the integer. So '3.foo()' will now
be parsed as '3' '.' 'foo()' and not '3.' 'foo()' -- which was what
prevented parsing of method invocations on integers. To keep the change
simple, the parser will no longer handle real numbers of the form
'3.e4'. From now on they must include the extra 0 (i.e., '3.0e4').
Issue: SPR-9612
Recently new utility methods were added to JdbcTestUtils, and a
JdbcTemplate was introduced in abstract transactional base classes in
the TestContext framework. This presents an easy opportunity to make
these new utility methods available as convenience methods in the base
test classes.
This commit introduces new countRowsInTableWhere() and dropTables()
convenience methods in the abstract transactional base classes in the
TestContext framework. These new methods internally delegate to methods
of the same names in JdbcTestUtils.
Issue: SPR-9665
Since Spring 2.5, the abstract transactional base classes in the
TestContext framework have defined and delegated to a protected
SimpleJdbcTemplate instance variable; however, SimpleJdbcTemplate has
deprecated since Spring 3.1. Consequently, subclasses of
AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests and
AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests that use this instance
variable suffer from seemingly unnecessary deprecation warnings.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a protected JdbcTemplate
instance variable in abstract transactional base classes to replace the
use of the existing SimpleJdbcTemplate. Furthermore, the existing
simpleJdbcTemplate instance variable has been deprecated, and utility
methods in the affected base classes now delegate to JdbcTestUtils
instead of the now deprecated SimpleJdbcTestUtils.
Issue: SPR-8990
Several static utility methods in SimpleJdbcTestUtils accept an instance
of SimpleJdbcTemplate as an argument; however, SimpleJdbcTemplate has
been deprecated since Spring 3.1 in favor of simply using JdbcTemplate
which now also supports Java 5 language constructs such as var-args.
Consequently, use of such methods from SimpleJdbcTestUtils results in
deprecation warnings without an equivalent API to migrate to.
This commit addresses this issue by migrating all existing methods in
SimpleJdbcTestUtils to JdbcTestUtils. The migrated methods now accept an
instance of JdbcTemplate as an argument, thereby avoiding the
deprecation warnings but maintaining semantic compatibility with the
functionality previous available in SimpleJdbcTestUtils.
In addition, this commit also introduces two new methods:
- countRowsInTableWhere(): counts the rows in a given table, using
a provided `WHERE` clause
- dropTables(): drops the tables with the specified names
Issue: SPR-9235
For legacy reasons, a MockEnvironment implementation already exists in multiple places within Spring's test suite; however, it is not available to the general public.
This commit promotes MockEnvironment to a first-class citizen in the spring-test module, alongside the existing MockPropertySource.
In addition, the following house cleaning has been performed.
- deleted MockPropertySource from the spring-expression module
- deleted MockEnvironment from the "spring" integration testing module
- updated test copies of MockPropertySource and MockEnvironment
- documented MockEnvironment and MockPropertySource in the testing
chapter of the reference manual
Issue: SPR-9492
Currently the Spring TestContext Framework looks up a
PlatformTransactionManager bean named "transactionManager". The exact
name of the bean can be overridden via @TransactionConfiguration or
@Transactional; however, the bean will always be looked up 'by name'.
The TransactionManagementConfigurer interface that was introduced in
Spring 3.1 provides a programmatic approach to specifying the
PlatformTransactionManager bean to be used for annotation-driven
transaction management, and that bean is not required to be named
"transactionManager". However, as of Spring 3.1.2, using the
TransactionManagementConfigurer on a @Configuration class has no effect
on how the TestContext framework looks up the transaction manager.
Consequently, if an explicit name or qualifier has not been specified,
the bean must be named "transactionManager" in order for a transactional
integration test to work.
This commit addresses this issue by refactoring the
TransactionalTestExecutionListener so that it looks up and delegates to
a single TransactionManagementConfigurer as part of the algorithm for
determining the transaction manager.
Issue: SPR-9604
TransactionalTestExecutionListener currently requires that the
PlatformTransactionManager bean be named "transactionManager" by
default. Otherwise, the bean name can only be overridden via the
transactionManager attribute of @TransactionConfiguration or the value
attribute of @Transactional.
However, if there is only a single PlatformTransactionManager in the
test's ApplicationContext, then the requirement to specify the exact
name of that bean (or to name it exactly "transactionManager") is often
superfluous.
This commit addresses this issue by refactoring the
TransactionalTestExecutionListener so that it is comparable to the
algorithm for determining the transaction manager used in
TransactionAspectSupport for "production" code. Specifically, the TTEL
now uses the following algorithm to retrieve the transaction manager.
- look up by type and qualifier from @Transactional
- else, look up by type and explicit name from
@TransactionConfiguration
- else, look up single bean by type
- else, look up by type and default name from @TransactionConfiguration
Issue: SPR-9645
Currently the getNamedDispatcher(String) method of MockServletContext
always returns null. This poses a problem in certain testing scenarios
since one would always expect at least a default Servlet to be present.
This is specifically important for web application tests that involve
the DefaultServletHttpRequestHandler which attempts to forward to the
default Servlet after retrieving it by name. Furthermore, there is no
way to register a named RequestDispatcher with the MockServletContext.
This commit addresses these issues by introducing the following in
MockServletContext.
- a new defaultServletName property for configuring the name of the
default Servlet, which defaults to "default"
- named RequestDispatchers can be registered and unregistered
- a MockRequestDispatcher is registered for the "default" Servlet
automatically in the constructor
- when the defaultServletName property is set to a new value the
the current default RequestDispatcher is unregistered and replaced
with a MockRequestDispatcher for the new defaultServletName
Issue: SPR-9587
The MVC Java config and the MVC namespace now support options to
configure content negotiation. By default both support checking path
extensions first and the "Accept" header second. For path extensions
.json, .xml, .atom, and .rss are recognized out of the box if the
Jackson, JAXB2, or Rome libraries are available. The ServletContext
and the Java Activation Framework may be used as fallback options
for path extension lookups.
Issue: SPR-8420
After this change each call stack level pushes and pops an async
Callable to ensure the AsyncExecutionChain is in sync with the
call stack. Before this change, a controller returning a "forward:"
prefixed string caused the AsyncExecutionChain to contain a
extra Callables that did not match the actual call stack.
Issue: SPR-9611
Update section on exception handling in Spring MVC chapter to include
more guidance on exception handling when implementing a REST API.
Issue: SPR-9290
Previously DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver did not handle BindException
but after this change it does. A BindException is raised when an
@ModelAttribute annotated argument is not followed by a BindingResult
argument. Hence this is unlikely to affect browser rendering.
For programmatic clients however this change ensures an unhandled
BindException is at least turned into a 400 error.
Issue: SPR-9310
The Atom/RSS message converters are now registered ahead of the
Jackson and the JAXB2 message converters by default. Since the Atom
and RSS converters convert to and from very specific object types
Feed and Channel respectively, that shouldn't introduce any regressions
and will work more intuitively when the requested media type is "*/*".

Before this change @ExceptionHandler methods could be located in and
apply locally within a controller. The change makes it possible to have
such methods applicable globally regardless of the controller that
raised the exception.
The easiest way to do that is to add them to a class annotated with
`@ExceptionResolver`, a new annotation that is also an `@Component`
annotation (and therefore works with component scanning). It is also
possible to register classes containing `@ExceptionHandler` methods
directly with the ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver.
When multiple `@ExceptionResolver` classes are detected, or registered
directly, the order in which they're used depends on the the `@Order`
annotation (if present) or on the value of the order field (if the
Ordered interface is implemented).

Before this change the StringHttpMessageConverter used a fixed charset
"ISO-8859-1" if the requested content type did not specify one. This
change adds a defaultCharset field and a constructor to configure it in
StringHttpMessageConverter.

Following the introduction of ContentNegotiationManager that allows,
among other things, to configure the file extensions to use for content
negotiation, this change adds "smart" suffix pattern match that matches
against the configured file extensions only rather than against any
extension.
Given the request mapping "/jobs/{jobName}" and one configured file
extension ("json"), a request for "/jobs/my.job" will select the
pattern "/jobs/{jobName}" while a request for "/jobs/my.job.json" will
select the pattern "/jobs/{jobName}.json". Previously, both requests
would have resulted in the pattern "/jobs/{jobName}.*".

The HTTP PATCH method is now supported whereever HTTP methods are used.
Annotated controllers can be mapped to RequestMethod.PATCH.
On the client side the RestTemplate execute(..) and exchange(..)
methods can be used with HttpMethod.PATCH. In terms of HTTP client
libraries, Apache HttpComponents HttpClient version 4.2 or later is
required (see HTTPCLIENT-1191). The JDK HttpURLConnection does not
support the HTTP PATCH method.

Introduced ContentNeogtiationStrategy for resolving the requested
media types from an incoming request. The available implementations
are based on path extension, request parameter, 'Accept' header,
and a fixed default content type. The logic for these implementations
is based on equivalent options, previously available only in the
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver.
Also in this commit is ContentNegotiationManager, the central class to
use when configuring content negotiation options. It accepts one or
more ContentNeogtiationStrategy instances and delegates to them.
The ContentNeogiationManager can now be used to configure the
following classes:
- RequestMappingHandlerMappingm
- RequestMappingHandlerAdapter
- ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver
- ContentNegotiatingViewResolver

The reference manual currently documents the wrong file name for the
default data SQL script used by EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder. In addition,
the testing chapter of the reference manual does not link to the testing
section of the JDBC chapter.
- Updated the "Testing data access logic with an embedded database"
section of the reference manual appropriately.
- Added a new paragraph to the "JDBC Testing Support" section of the
testing chapter which cross references the "Testing data access logic
with an embedded database" section.

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.
