Move the AbstractServletHttpHandlerAdapterInitializer together with
the other two base classes in spring-web-reactive. Since the
interface is in the web package, this avoids a package cycle.
Also add a mention in the reference.
Issue: SPR-14713
This commit updates the instructions on getting started with
Spring Web Reactive and also updates constructors and setters to
streamline the getting started procedure.

This commit adds Smile and CBOR Jackson HttpMessageConverters
and make it possible to create Smile and CBOR ObjectMapper via
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder, which now allows to specify any
custom JsonFactory.
Like with JSON and XML Jackson support, the relevant
HttpMessageConverters are automaticially configurered by
Spring MVC WebMvcConfigurationSupport if jackson-dataformat-smile
or jackson-dataformat-cbor dependencies are found in the classpath.

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
the caching support in the Google Guava library with an actively maintained
Java 8+ version in standalone form.
As it is the only Guava feature Spring framework integrates with, this
commit removes effectively any reference to Guava.
Issue: SPR-13797
This commit also removes the corresponding deprecated Servlet MVC variant and updates DispatcherServlet.properties to point to RequestMappingHandlerMapping/Adapter by default.
Issue: SPR-14129
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 introduces the following common composed annotations for
@RequestMapping in Spring MVC and Spring MVC REST.
- @GetMapping
- @PostMapping
- @PutMapping
- @DeleteMapping
- @PatchMapping
Issue: SPR-13992
In order to align with the relaxed programming models of TestNG and the
upcoming JUnit 5 (with regard to method visibility), this commit
removes the requirement that @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction
methods must be 'public'.
Issue: SPR-13997
This commit introduces a SpringRunner extension of
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner that is intended to be used as an 'alias' for
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, primarily in order to simplify configuration
of JUnit 4 based integration tests.
Developers can use this alias as follows:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MySpringIntegrationTests { ... }
Issue: SPR-13954
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
compared with a "weak comparison" (matching both weak and strong ETags
of the same value)
* when enabled with the "writeWeakETag" init param, the filter will
write weak Etags in its HTTP responses
Issue: SPR-13778
This is in line with the current behavior of HttpServlet that would
have been in used with dispatchOptionsRequest on the DispatcherSerlvet
set to false (the default prior to 4.3).
Issue: SPR-13130
Prior to this change SpEL did not have an syntactic
construct enabling easy access to a FactoryBean. With this
change it is now possible to use &foo in an expression when
the factory bean should be returned.
Issue: SPR-9511
Spring MVC Test now parses application/x-www-form-urlencoded request
content and populates request parameters from it.
This can be useful when running client-side tests against a MockMvc
via MockMvcClientHttpRequestFactory.
Issue: SPR-13733
Previously, if a database needs to be initialized with several scripts
and many (or all) use a custom separator, said separator must be repeated
for each script.
This commit introduces a `separator` property at the parent element level
that can be used to customize the default separator. This is available
for both the `initialize-database` and `embedded-database` elements.
Issue: SPR-13792
Add new MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8 and
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE constants for
"application/json;charset=UTF-8" content type in order to make it
easier to override @RequestMapping "produces" attribute without
losing the default JSON charset (UTF-8).
