Spring Boot's testing support registers a DynamicPropertyRegistry as a
bean in the ApplicationContext, which conflicts with the
DynamicPropertyRegistry registered as a bean by the Spring TestContext
Framework (TCF) since Spring Framework 6.2 M2.
To avoid that conflict and to improve the user experience for Spring's
testing support, this commit introduces a DynamicPropertyRegistrar API
to replace the DynamicPropertyRegistry bean support.
Specifically, the TCF no longer registers a DynamicPropertyRegistry as
a bean in the ApplicationContext.
Instead, users can now register custom implementations of
DynamicPropertyRegistrar as beans in the ApplicationContext, and the
DynamicPropertiesContextCustomizer now registers a
DynamicPropertyRegistrarBeanInitializer which eagerly initializes
DynamicPropertyRegistrar beans and invokes their accept() methods with
an appropriate DynamicPropertyRegistry.
In addition, a singleton DynamicValuesPropertySource is created and
registered with the Environment for use in
DynamicPropertiesContextCustomizer and
DynamicPropertyRegistrarBeanInitializer, which allows
@DynamicPropertySource methods and DynamicPropertyRegistrar beans to
transparently populate the same DynamicValuesPropertySource.

Since we now use asciidoctor-tabs instead of spring-asciidoctor-backends,
we no longer need the `role="primary"` and `role="secondary"` attributes
for tab groups.

This commit revises the reference documentation for Spring JMX
annotations for various reasons including, but not limited to, the
following.
- Type names such as ManagedResource are often ambiguous, especially
when discussing an annotation like @ManagedResource instead of
org.springframework.jmx.export.metadata.ManagedResource which is a
class.
- AnnotationTestBean implements IJmxTestBean, even though an annotated
MBean is not required to implement any interfaces, and in fact the
example is meant to demonstrate that an annotated POJO suffices.
- @ManagedOperationParameter annotations are unnecessarily declared in
the @ManagedOperationParameters container.
- The documentation sometimes refers to JmxTestBean when it should
instead refer to AnnotationTestBean.
- Inconsistent and confusing wording for annotation attributes,
properties, managed attributes, etc.
- The tables refer to "source-level metadata types/parameters" when
they should refer to Spring JMX annotations and their attributes.
- The annotation and attribute tables have inconsistent ordering and
naming for column headers.
- @ManagedNotification and @ManagedMetric are not mentioned.
- The AutodetectCapableMBeanInfoAssembler example is broken since it
uses the non-annotated JmxTestBean instead of the AnnotationTestBean.
As a side note, the JmxTestBean in our test suite still contains
XDoclet "annotations" which can be safely removed. 😉
Closes gh-33466
This commit updates the Evaluation chapter to reflect the following.
- SimpleEvaluationContext no longer has a create() method. Instead it
has forPropertyAccessors(), forReadOnlyDataBinding(), and
forReadWriteDataBinding() factory methods.
- SpEL cannot automatically create missing array elements or grow the
size of an array like it can for a collection.
Closes gh-33456
This commit revises the AOP proxying section as follows.
- Documents all limitations of CGLIB-based proxies
- Documents self injection as alternative to AopContext.currentProxy()
- Avoids use of flippant language

Prior to this commit, the main() method attempted to retrieve a
TransferService bean from the context, but no such bean had been
configured in the context.
This commit addresses that by configuring a TransferService bean in the
context.

On the client side, supports `name=value` pairs. Placeholders in values
are resolved by the `embeddedValueResolver`.
On the server side, additionally supports `name` and `!name` syntax.
