Spring Framework 4.2 RC1 introduced support for synthesizing an
annotation from an existing annotation in order to provide additional
functionality above and beyond that provided by Java. Specifically,
such synthesized annotations provide support for @AliasFor semantics.
As luck would have it, the same principle can be used to synthesize an
annotation from any map of attributes, and in particular, from an
instance of AnnotationAttributes.
The following highlight the major changes in this commit toward
achieving this goal.
- Introduced AnnotationAttributeExtractor abstraction and refactored
SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler to delegate to an
AnnotationAttributeExtractor.
- Extracted code from SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler into new
AbstractAliasAwareAnnotationAttributeExtractor and
DefaultAnnotationAttributeExtractor implementation classes.
- Introduced MapAnnotationAttributeExtractor for synthesizing an
annotation that is backed by a map or AnnotationAttributes instance.
- Introduced a variant of synthesizeAnnotation() in AnnotationUtils
that accepts a map.
- Introduced findAnnotation(*) methods in AnnotatedElementUtils that
synthesize merged AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation of the
target type.
The following classes have been refactored to use the new support for
synthesizing AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation.
- ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter
- TestAnnotationUtils
- AbstractTestContextBootstrapper
- ActiveProfilesUtils
- ContextLoaderUtils
- DefaultActiveProfilesResolver
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener
- TestPropertySourceAttributes
- TestPropertySourceUtils
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener
- MetaAnnotationUtils
- MvcUriComponentsBuilder
- RequestMappingHandlerMapping
In addition, this commit also includes changes to ensure that arrays
returned by synthesized annotations are properly cloned first.

Reinstate a variant of the `WebContentGenerator.checkAndPrepare` method
for projects that are using it.
This variant is now marked as deprecated.
Issue: SPR-11792
Prior to this commit, the `ResourceHttpRequestHandler` would not
properly handle HTTP requests to **directories contained in JARs**.
This would result in HTTP 500 errors, caused by `FileNotFoundException`
or `NullPointerException`.
This can be tracked to webapp ClassLoader implementations in servlet
containers:
* in Jetty9x, fetching a directory within a JAR as a `Resource` and
getting its InputStream work fine, but attempting to `close()` it
results in a NullPointerException as the underlying stream is null.
* In Tomcat6x, one cannot fetch an InputStream for the same `Resource`
as it throws a FileNotFoundException.
This change adds more try/catch clauses and catches more Exception so as
to result in HTTP 200 OK responses instead of server errors. While this
is inconsistent because the same code path would result in HTTP 404 with
existing directories on the file system, there's no other simple way to
make those checks for resources contained in JARs.
Issue: SPR-12999
Prior to this commit, WebJars users needed to use versioned links within
templates for WebJars resources, such as `/jquery/1.2.0/jquery.js`.
This can be rather cumbersome when updating libraries - all references
in templates need to be updated.
One could use version-less links in templates, but needed to add a
specific MVC Handler that uses webjars.org's webjar-locator library.
While this approach makes maintaing templates easier, this makes HTTP
caching strategies less optimal.
This commit adds a new WebJarsResourceResolver that search for resources
located in WebJar locations. This ResourceResolver is automatically
registered if the "org.webjars:webjars-locator" dependency is present.
Registering WebJars resource handling can be done like this:
```java
@Override
protected void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:META-INF/resources/webjars")
.resourceChain(true)
.addResolver(new WebJarsResourceResolver());
}
```

Prior to this commit, registering `HandlerInterceptor`s using the
`InterceptorRegistry` would not guarantee their order of execution. In
fact, `HandlerInterceptor`s would always be executed before
`MappedInterceptor`s.
This change makes `MappedInterceptor` implement the `HandlerInterceptor`
interface, in order to register all interceptors in a single ordered
list. The order of execution of interceptors is now guaranteed in the
`HandlerExecutionChain` built by `AbstractHandlerMapping`.
Issue: SPR-12673
MvcUriComponentsBuilder::fromMethodCall creates wrong URLs with derived
controller classes. The @RequestMapping of the declaring class of the
method that is called is used instead of the @RequstMapping of the
given controller class.
https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-13033
After this change CorsProcessor has a single processRequest method and
it also explicitly deals with a null CorsConfiguration, which for
pre-flight requests results in a rejection while for simple requests
results in no CORS headers added.
The AbstractHandlerMapping now uses a LinkedHashMap to preserve the
order in which global patterns are provided.
This commit adds JavaConfig based global CORS configuration
capabilities to Spring MVC. It is now possible to specify
multiple CORS configurations, each mapped on a path pattern,
by overriding
WebMvcConfigurerAdapter#configureCrossOrigin(CrossOriginConfigurer).
It is also possible to combine global and @CrossOrigin based
CORS configuration.
Issue: SPR-12933
Prior to this commit, the ResourceUrlEncodingFilter would fail with a
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when:
* the current request has a servlet context
* the URL to encode is relative and is shorter than the context value
This change defensively checks for those lengths and delegates to the
parent implementation if necessary.
Issue: SPR-13018
Prior to this commit, AntPathMatcher would not correctly combine a path
that ends with a separator with a path that starts with a separator.
For example, `/foo/` + `/bar` combined into `/foo//bar`.
Specifically, this commit:
- Removes the duplicated separator in combined paths
- Improves RequestMappingInfo's toString() representation
- Fixes Javadoc formatting in AntPathMatcher
- Polishes AntPathMatcherTests
- Polishes Javadoc in AbstractRequestCondition
Issue: SPR-12975
Prior to this change, the `UrlTag` would simply append the remote
context and the path value in case of a context relative URL.
The following code snippet would output "//foo":
```
<spring:url value="/foo" context="/" />
```
This change now removes trailing slashes in remote context to avoid
this.
Issue: SPR-12782
- Methods which search for a specific annotation now properly ensure
that the sought annotation was actually found.
- Both the "get" and the "find" search algorithms no longer needlessly
traverse meta-annotation hierarchies twice.
- Both the "get" and the "find" search algorithms now properly
increment the metaDepth when recursively searching within the
meta-annotation hierarchy.
- Redesigned getMetaAnnotationTypes() so that it doesn't needlessly
search irrelevant annotations.
- Documented and tested hasMetaAnnotationTypes().
- Documented isAnnotated().
Issue: SPR-11514
Before this change AbstractHandlerMethodMapping used a map from Method
to CorsConfiguration. That works for regular @RequestMapping methods.
However frameworks like Spring Boot and Spring Integration may
programmatically register the same Method under multiple mappings,
i.e. adapter/gateway type classes.
This change ensures that CorsConfiguraiton is indexed by HandlerMethod
so that we can store CorsConfiguration for different handler instances
even when the method is the same.
In order for to make this work, HandlerMethod now provides an
additional field called resolvedFromHandlerMethod that returns the
original HandlerMethod (with the String bean name). This makes it
possible to perform reliable lookups.
Issue: SPR-11541
This commit introduces failing (but currently disabled) test cases in
HandlerMethodAnnotationDetectionTests that attempt to reproduce the
scenario described in SPR-9517.
See: ParameterizedSubclassDoesNotOverrideConcreteImplementationsFromGenericAbstractSuperclass
Furthermore, this commit also introduces passing tests cases for a
similar scenario. See: ParameterizedSubclassOverridesDefaultMappings
Issue: SPR-9517
CorsConfiguration now provides methods to check and determine the
allowed origin, method, and headers according to its own configuration.
This simplifies significantly the work that needs to be done from
DefaultCorsProcessor. However an alternative CorsProcessor can still
access the raw CorsConfiguration and perform its own checks.
Issue: SPR-12885
This commit adds CORS related headers to HttpHeaders
and update DefaultCorsProcessor implementation to
use ServerHttpRequest and ServerHttpResponse instead
of HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. Usage
of ServerHttpResponse allows to avoid using Servlet 3.0
specific methods in order keep CORS support Servlet 2.5
compliant.
Issue: SPR-12885
The change to provide public register/unregister methods in
AbstractHandlerMethodMapping assumed that a single method cannot be
mapped more than once. This is not the case with the MvcEndpoints and
EndpointHandlerMapping from Spring Boot which wrap one or more
non-web Endpoint types with an MvcEndpointAdapter in order to expose
them for use over the web. In effect Spring MVC sees a single handler
method mapped many times.
This change removes that assumption so rather than unregistering with
a HandlerMethod, which is not necessarily unique, the unregister method
now takes the actual mapping, which is the only thing that should actually
be unique.
Issue: SPR-11541
This commit adds additional context to the exception message generated
when two candidate methods are discovered in MvcUriComponentsBuilder's
getMethod(Class<?>, String, Object...).

This commit introduces a new fromMethodNameWithBridgedMethod() test in
MvcUriComponentsBuilderTests which is currently disabled via @Ignore
until this bug is resolved.
Issue: SPR-12977
When used in combination with GzipResourceResolver, the
CachingResourceResolver does not properly cache results, since it only
takes the request path as a input for cache key generation.
Here's an example of that behavior:
1. an HTTP client requests a resource with `Accept-Encoding: gzip`, so
the GzipResourceResolver can resolve a gzipped resource.
2. the configured CachingResourceResolver caches that resource.
3. another HTTP client requests the same resource, but it does not
support gzip encoding; the previously cached gzipped resource is still
returned.
This commit uses the presence/absence of gzip encoding support as an
input in cache keys generation.
Issue: SPR-12982
Before this change AbstractHandlerMethodMapping contained multiple
maps all containing different kinds of mapping meta-data. After the
change a MappingDefinitionRegistry inner class encapsulates these
fields along with their initialization code.
Issue: SPR-11541
Before 4.2 the MvcUriComponentsBuilder exposed only static factory
methods and therefore there should be no reason for it to extend
UriComponentsBuilder (design oversight). It's also highly unlikely
for application code to treat MvcUriCB as UriCB since there is no
need and no way to obtain an instance (constructor is protected).
This change removes the base class declaration from MvcUriCB.
Issue: SPR-12617
Before this change MvcUriComponentsBuilder exposed only static factory
methods for creating links where the links are relative to the current
request or a baseUrl explicitly provided as an argument.
This change allows creating an MvcUriComponents builder instance with
a built-in baseUrl. The instance can then be used with non-static
withXxx(...) method alternatives to the static fromXxx(...) methods.
Issue: SPR-12617
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

AbstractHttpMessageConverter now tries to call getDefaultContentType
with the actual value to be converted to see if that will result in
a more concrete mediat type than application/octet-stream.
Issue: SPR-12894
This commit introduces support for CORS in Spring Framework.
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows
many resources (e.g. fonts, JavaScript, etc.) on a web page to
be requested from another domain outside the domain from which
the resource originated. It is defined by the CORS W3C
recommandation (http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/).
A new annotation @CrossOrigin allows to enable CORS support
on Controller type or method level. By default all origins
("*") are allowed.
@RestController
public class SampleController {
@CrossOrigin
@RequestMapping("/foo")
public String foo() {
// ...
}
}
Various @CrossOrigin attributes allow to customize the CORS configuration.
@RestController
public class SampleController {
@CrossOrigin(origin = { "http://site1.com", "http://site2.com" },
allowedHeaders = { "header1", "header2" },
exposedHeaders = { "header1", "header2" },
method = RequestMethod.DELETE,
maxAge = 123, allowCredentials = "true")
@RequestMapping(value = "/foo", method = { RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST} )
public String foo() {
// ...
}
}
A CorsConfigurationSource interface can be implemented by HTTP request
handlers that want to support CORS by providing a CorsConfiguration
that will be detected at AbstractHandlerMapping level. See for
example ResourceHttpRequestHandler that implements this interface.
Global CORS configuration should be supported through ControllerAdvice
(with type level @CrossOrigin annotated class or class implementing
CorsConfigurationSource), or with XML namespace and JavaConfig
configuration, but this is not implemented yet.
Issue: SPR-9278
This commit adds a filters property to MappingJacksonValue
and also manages a special FilterProvider class name model key in
order to be able to specify a customized FilterProvider for each
handler method execution, and thus provides a more dynamic
alternative to our existing JsonView support.
A filters property is also now available in Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
and Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean in order to set easily a
global FilterProvider.

The check for an empty request body InputStream is now in the base
class AbstractMessageConverterMethodArgumentResolver shared for
all arguments that involve reading with an HttpMessageConverter --
@RequestBody, @RequestPart, and HttpEntity.
When an empty body is detected any configured RequestBodyAdvice is
given a chance to select a default value or leave it as null.
Issue: SPR-12778, SPR-12860, SPR-12861
RequestBodyAdvice is analogous to ResponseBodyAdvice (added in 4.1)
but for intercepting for reading the request with an
HttpMessageConverter for resolving an @RequestBody or an HttpEntity
method argument.

Introduces an AbstractXlsView and dedicated subclasses for POI's xmlx support.
Deprecates the traditional AbstractExcelView which is based on pre POI 3.5 API.
Issue: SPR-6898
Prior to this commit, Cache-Control HTTP headers could be set using
a WebContentInterceptor and configured cache mappings.
This commit adds support for cache-related HTTP headers at the controller
method level, by returning a ResponseEntity instance:
ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.OK)
.cacheControl(CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS).cachePublic())
.eTag("deadb33f8badf00d")
.body(entity);
Also, this change now automatically checks the "ETag" and
"Last-Modified" headers in ResponseEntity, in order to respond HTTP
"304 - Not Modified" if necessary.
Issue: SPR-8550
This commit improves HTTP caching defaults and flexibility in
Spring MVC.
1) Better default caching headers
The `WebContentGenerator` abstract class has been updated with
better HTTP defaults for HTTP caching, in line with current
browsers and proxies implementation (wide support of HTTP1.1, etc);
depending on the `setCacheSeconds` value:
* sends "Cache-Control: max-age=xxx" for caching responses and
do not send a "must-revalidate" value by default.
* sends "Cache-Control: no-store" or "Cache-Control: no-cache"
in order to prevent caching
Other methods used to set specific header such as
`setUseExpiresHeader` or `setAlwaysMustRevalidate` are now deprecated
in favor of `setCacheControl` for better flexibility.
Using one of the deprecated methods re-enables previous HTTP caching
behavior.
This change is applied in many Handlers, since
`WebContentGenerator` is extended by `AbstractController`,
`WebContentInterceptor`, `ResourceHttpRequestHandler` and others.
2) New CacheControl builder class
This new class brings more flexibility and allows developers
to set custom HTTP caching headers.
Several strategies are provided:
* `CacheControl.maxAge(int)` for caching responses with a
"Cache-Control: max-age=xxx" header
* `CacheControl.noStore()` prevents responses from being cached
with a "Cache-Control: no-store" header
* `CacheControl.noCache()` forces caches to revalidate the cached
response before reusing it, with a "Cache-Control: no-store" header.
From that point, it is possible to chain method calls to craft a
custom CacheControl instance:
```
CacheControl cc = CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS)
.cachePublic().noTransform();
```
3) Configuring HTTP caching in Resource Handlers
On top of the existing ways of configuring caching mechanisms,
it is now possible to use a custom `CacheControl` to serve
resources:
```
@Configuration
public class MyWebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
CacheControl cc = CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS);
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**)
.addResourceLocations("classpath:/resources/")
.setCacheControl(cc);
}
}
```
or
```
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="classpath:/resources/">
<mvc:cachecontrol max-age="3600" cache-public="true"/>
</mvc:resources>
```

This commit introduces support for HTTP byte ranges in the
ResourceHttpRequestHandler. This support consists of a number of
changes:
- Parsing of HTTP Range headers in HttpHeaders, using a new HttpRange
class and inner ByteRange/SuffixByteRange subclasses.
- MIME boundary generation moved from FormHttpMessageConverter to
MimeTypeUtils.
- writePartialContent() method introduced in ResourceHttpRequestHandler,
handling the byte range logic
- Additional partial content tests added to
ResourceHttpRequestHandlerTests.

Revised HandlerMethod.getBeanType() impl for both web and messaging.
In addition, HandlerMethods get created with the internal BeanFactory now.

FlashMap now has a single field reflecting the expiration time and
also provides accessors that can be used for serialization purposes.
Issue: SPR-12757
AbstractFlashMapManager no longer decodes the target query parameters
it needs to use to match to the request after the redirect.
Instead it stores query parameters as-is adn then relies on parsing the
encoded query string after the redirect.

This commit ensures that @NumberFormat can be used as a
meta-annotation, as was already the case for @DateTimeFormat.
In addition, this commit polishes FormattingConversionServiceTests and
MvcNamespaceTests.
Issue: SPR-12743
Prior to this change, location checks for serving resources would append
`/` to the location path it didn't already have one.
This commit makes sure not to append a `/` if the provided location is
actually a file.
Issue: SPR-12747
Before this change, detection of X-Forwarded-* headers was only built
into ServletUriComponentsBuilder.
This change adds a new method for creating a UriComponentsBuilder from
an existing HttpRequest. This is equivalent to the fromUri method +
X-Forwarded-* header values.
Prior to this change, the `ResourceUrlProvider.getForLookupPath` method
would try to match handlers using the keySet order in the
handlerMappings Map. In case of several matches, the handler used for
the return value could vary, since the registration order in the
handlerMappings can't be guaranteed in the configuration.
This commit now collects all matching handlers and sort them using a
`PatternComparator`, in order to try each handler from the most specific
mapping to the least.
Issue: SPR-12647
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
Prior to this change, the ResourceUrlProvider would listen to
ContextRefreshedEvents and autodetect resource handlers each time. This
can cause issues when multiple contexts are involved and the last one
has no resource handler, thus clearing the previously detected ones.
This commit disables resource handlers auto-detection once some have
been detected with a refreshed context.
Issue: SPR-12592
Prior to this change, location paths used for resource handling would
not allow "non-cleaned, relative paths" such as
`file://home/user/static/../static/`. When checking if the resolved
resource's path starts with the location path, a mismatch would happen
when comparing for example:
* the location `file://home/user/static/../static/`
* and the resource `file://home/user/static/resource.txt`
This commit cleans the location path before comparing it to the resource
path.
Issue: SPR-12624
This commit allows the use of "protcol relative URLs" (i.e. URLs without
scheme, starting with `//`), often used to serve resources automatically
from https or http with third party domains.
This syntax is allowed by RFC 3986.
Issue: SPR-12632
This commit fixes the default value for the contextRelative attribute of
a RedirectView, when this view is registered via a
RedirectViewController in XML. The value is set to true.
Note that the default value for this is correctly documented in
spring-mvc-4.1.xsd. Also, the documentation and implementation for its
javadoc counterpart also enforces true as a default value.
Issue: SPR-12607
This commit introduces the SpringHandlerInstantiator
class, a Jackson HandlerInstantiator that allows to autowire
Jackson handlers (JsonSerializer, JsonDeserializer, KeyDeserializer,
TypeResolverBuilder and TypeIdResolver) if needed.
SpringHandlerInstantiator is automatically used with
@EnableWebMvc and <mvc:annotation-driven />.
Issue: SPR-10768
Prior to this change, the ResourceUrlEncodingFilter would work well when
the application is mapped to "/". But when mapped to a non-empty servlet
context, this filter would not properly encode URLs and apply
ResourceResolver URL resolution for resources.
This commit makes sure that the lookup path is properly resolved in the
request URI, taking into account the servlet context.
Issue: SPR-12459
SPR-12354 applied new checks to make sure that served static resources
are under authorized locations.
Prior to this change, serving static resources from Servlet 3 locations
such as "/webjars/" would not work since those locations can be within
one of the JARs on path. In that case, the checkLocation method would
return false and disallow serving that static resource.
This change fixes this issue by making sure to call the
`ServletContextResource.getPath()` method for servlet context resources.
Note that there's a known workaround for this issue, which is using a
classpath scheme as location, such as:
"classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/" instead of "/webjars".
Issue: SPR-12432
- remove leading '/' and control chars
- improve url and relative path checks
- account for URL encoding
- add isResourceUnderLocation final verification
Issue: SPR-12354
With SPR-9293, it is now possible to HTML escape text while taking into
account the current response encoding. When using UTF-* encodings, only
XML markup significant characters are escaped, since UTF-* natively
support those characters.
This commit adds a new servlet context parameter to enable this fix by
default in a Spring MVC application:
<context-param>
<param-name>responseEncodedHtmlEscape</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Issue: SPR-12350, SPR-12132
During the HTTP Content Negotiation phase, the ContentNegotiationManager
uses configured ContentNegotiationStrategy(ies) to define the list of
content types accepted by the client.
When HTTP clients don't send Accept headers, nor use a configured
file extension in the request, nor a request param, developers can
define a default content type using the
ContentNegotiationConfigurer.defaultContentType() method.
This change adds a new overloaded defaultContentType method that takes a
ContentNegotiationStrategy as an argument. This strategy will take the
current request as an argument and return a default content type.
Issue: SPR-12286
This fix addresses a 4.1.1 regression where a raw ResponseEntity return
value (used to return potentially a different kind of body) caused an
exception.
The regression came from the fact we now try to render a null body in
order to give ResponseBodyAdvice a chance to substitute a different
value. That in turn means we have to try to determine the body type
from the method signature.
This change improves the logic for extracting the generic parameter
type to accommodate a raw ResponseEntity class. Also we avoid raising
HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException if the value to be rendered is
null.
Issue: SPR-12287
Commit https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/2b97d6
introduced a change where the path within the DispatcherServlet is
determined with each call to ResourceUrlProvider.getForRequestUrl.
To avoid repeating that every time a URL is encoded through the
response, we now cache the result of the lookupPath determination in
ResourceUrlEncodingFilter.
Issue: SPR-12332
The use of the HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE
in ResourceUrlProvider (as a way of saving lookup path determination)
leads to incorrect results. For example when the request is forwarded
the current requestUri may no longer be compariable to the value of the
PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE. Also where the request is mapped
using a pattern, the value of PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE is
not the same as the lookup path.
This change removes the use of the attribute from ResourceUrlProvider
and instead always determines the lookup path when getForRequestUrl
is called.
Issue: SPR-12332
Before this change, the type of asynchronously produced return values
(e.g. Callable, DeferredResult, ListenableFuture) could not be
properly determined with an actual resulting value of null. Or even
with an actual value returned, the generic type could not be properly
determined. This change fixes both of those issues.
Issue: SPR-12287
The getForRequestUrl method of ResourceUrlProvider uses the
HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE attribute to
determine the relevant portion of the resource URL path.
However there are cases when that attribute may not have a leading
(e.g. when the current URL was matched to a prefix-based pattern
and hence extracted via PathMatcher#extractPathWithinPattern), which
interferes with the matching of resource URL paths to patterns.
This change ensures a leading slash is present
Issue: SPR-12281
The resourceHandlerMapping in the MVC Java config is not configured
with any interceptors, and in particular those added through the
InterceptorRegistry, which are otherwise added to all other handler
mapping beans created by the config. This means that the
ResourceUrlProviderExposingInterceptor (added in 4.0) is also not
used for resource requests.
This change ensures the ResourceUrlProviderExposingInterceptor is
configured on the resourceHandlerMapping.
Issue: SPR-12279
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder now allows to create ObjectMapper and XmlMapper
instances easily thanks to its fluent API.
This builder is used in Jackson message converters and views to instantiate default
ObjectMapper and XmlMapper.
This commit also add a createXmlMapper property to
Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean in order to allow to create easily a XmlMapper
instance.

When not ViewResolver's have been registered, detect if the context
contains any other ViewResolver beans. If not, add InternalResourceVR
to match default DispatcherServlet behavior.
Issue: SPR-12267
This change defers determination of whether to invoke a message
converter in case of a null @ResponseBody value (or ResponseEntity with
a null body) until after the invocation of the ResponseBodyAdvice
chain. This allows a ResponseBodyAdvice to handle null values
potentially turning them into non-null value.s
Issue: SPR-12152
Prior to this change, getForRequestUrl implementation would only work
for applications with a non-empty servlet path. So web applications
mapped to "/" would trigger a IllegalStateException while checking the
current request against the request path within the current mapping.
This change relaxes this and only check that the path within mapping is
within the request URL.
Issue: SPR-12158
This change moves the resource-cache configuration to the
<resource-chain/> tag, since enabling/disabling resource cache should
be driven by a property or a SpEL expression.
So now that configuration can be set with XML attributes:
<mvc:resource-chain resource-cache="true"
cache-manager="resourceCache" cache-name="test-resource-cache">
In order to mirror the JavaConfig behavior, the "resource-cache"
attribute is required.
Issue: SPR-12129
Before this change ResourceUrlProvider used getUrlMap to detect
ResourceHttpRequestHandler instances, however the map may contain bean
names as is the case when using <mvc:resources>. Instead it now uses
getHandlerMap.
This change adds a ResourceUrlProvider bean to the
ResourceBeanDefinitionParser to match the same in the Java config.
For consistency the name of the bean in the Java config is renamed.
Also a ResourceUrlProviderExposingInterceptor is declares as a global
MappedInterceptor.
Prior to this change, ResourceTransformers that transformed resources by
updating the links to other resources, worked only if links were
relative to the resource being transformed.
For example, when the CssLinkResourceTransformer rewrote links within
a "main.css" resource, only links such as "../css/other.css" were
rewritten.
Using relative links is a recommended approach, because it's totally
independent from the application servlet path, context path, mappings...
This change allows absolute links to be rewritten by those Transformers,
provided those links are accurate and point to existing resources.
Issue: SPR-12137
This commit changes the way a <mvc:resource-cache> can be configured
with a user defined Cache instance.
Now a reference to a CacheManager Bean and a Cache name must be
provided. This is a more flexible configuration for typical XML setups.
<mvc:resource-cache
cache-manager="resourceCache"
cache-name="test-resource-cache"/>

With the new ResourceResolver abstraction and resource resolver chain
in 4.1, the assumption that resources are found by checking for the URL
path under the configured locations is no longer accurate.
A custom ResourceResolver could find resources in ways that don't
depend on a list of locations.
Issuse: SPR-12133
This change introduces a new <mvc:resource-chain/> tag that mirrors
the ResourceChainRegistration java config counterpart.
Resolvers and Transformers can be registered with bean/ref tags, and
specific tags have been created for <mvc:version-resovlver> and
<mvc:resource-cache> in order to make common configurations easier.
Note that a specific "auto-configuration" attribute on the
resource-chain allows to completely disable default registration of
Resolvers and Transformers (sane defaults considered by the Framework).
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/, classpath:/META-INF/">
<mvc:resource-chain>
<mvc:resource-cache cache="resourceCache"/>
<mvc:resolvers>
<mvc:version-resolver>
<mvc:fixed-version-strategy version="abc" patterns="/**/*.js"/>
<mvc:content-version-strategy patterns="/**"/>
</mvc:version-resolver>
</mvc:resolvers>
<mvc:transformers>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.AppCacheManifestTransformer"/>
</mvc:transformers>
</mvc:resource-chain>
</mvc:resources>
This also fixes a typo in the class name of
AppCacheManifestResourceTransfo*r*mer.
Issue: SPR-12129
This change separates out resource chain related methods previously in
ResourceHandlerRegistration into a new class ResourceChainRegistration
with the goal of improving readability.
Along with that, the registration of caching resolver and transformer
is now explicitly controled with a boolean flag (on the method used
to obtain the ResourceChainRegistration) and an overloaded method
also allows providing a Cache instance.
Issue: SPR-12124
This change moves the VersionStrategy builder-style methods from
ResourceHandlerRegistration to VersionResourceResolver.
This makes the methods more universally usable and also makes use of
ResourceHandlerRegistration more readable, i.e. simply a sequence of
addResource and addTransformer calls.
The ResourceHandlerRegistration now checks if the last resolver is an
instance of PathResourceResolver and if so it skips adding it.
This change also creates and adds the VersionResourceResolver (as well
as CssLinkTransformer) the first time any VersionStrategy is
registered. This ensures that custom resolvers (including an extension
of PathResourceResolver) may be added both before and after the
VersionResourceResolver.
Lastly this change renames addVersion and addVersionHash to be
consistent with addVersionStrategy.
Issue: SPR-12124
This change enables the ability to configure
ViewNameMethodReturnValueHandler & ModelAndViewMethodReturnValueHandler
with patterns to use to test for a custom redirect view name.
Issue: SPR-12054
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
Replace references to the old RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1) with references
to the new RFCs 7230 to 7235.
This commit also deprecates:
- HttpStatus.USE_PROXY
- HttpStatus.REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE in favor of HttpStatus.PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE
- HttpStatus.REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG in favor of HttpStatus.URI_TOO_LONG
Issue: SPR-12067
This change adds new methods in the ResourceHandlerRegistration API
for registering ResourceResolvers and ResourceTransformers, allowing
to better handle server-side resources in web applications.i
Here is an example of configuration for an HTML5 web application
that uses JavaScript and HTML5 appcache manifests:
registry.addResourceHandler("/**")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:static/")
.addTransformer(new AppCacheManifestTransfomer())
.addVersion("v1", "/**/*.js")
.addVersionHash("/**");
Issue: SPR-11982
Before this change if Velocity Spring form macro was bound to a path
which contains square brackets, those brackets would also appear in id
of generated tag, making the id invalid.
As of this fix all Velocity Spring form macros generate tag with id
that does not contain square brackets.
Issue: SPR-5172
This change adds support for configuring redirect view controllers and
also status controllers to the MVC Java config and the MVC namespace.
Issue: SPR-11543
This change makes it possible to configure RedirectView such that the
query string of the current request is added to the target URL.
This change is preparation for SPR-11543.
This change two new capabilities to ParameterizableViewController:
- configure a View instance (in addition to view name)
- configure response status code
The status code may be useful to send a 404 while also writing to the
body using a view.
The status code may also be used to override the redirect status code
of RedirectView. Even today it's possible to configure a "redirect:"
prefixed view name but the status code could not be selected. When a
3xx status is set, the code is passed on to the RedirectView while the
view name is automatically prefixed with "redirect:" (if not already).
For full control over RedirectView it is now also possible to
parameterize the controller with a View instance.
As one more possible resulting variation, given status 204 and no view
the request is considered handled (controller returns null).
This change is preparation for SPR-11543.
Since the MVC Java config always registers a ViewResolver (composite)
bean, at a very minimum we must add an InternalResourceViewResolver
consistent with default DispatcherServlet configuration and by
extension with the MVC namespace which falls back on DispatcherServlet
implicity if no <view-resolvers> element is present.
Issue: SPR-7093
After some further discussion:
The MVC config simplifies ViewResolver configuration especially where
content negotiation view resolution is involved.
The configuration of the underlying view technology however is kept
completely separate. In the case of the MVC namespace, dedicated
top-level freemarker, velocity, and tiles namespace elements are
provided. In the case of the MVC Java config, applications simply
declare FreeMarkerConfigurer, VelocityConfigurer, or TilesConfigurer
beans respectively.
Issue: SPR-7093
Following the separation of FreeMarker/Velocity/TilesConfigurer-related
configuration via separate interface, simplify and streamline the
view registration helper classes which no longer have much difference
(most are UrlBasedViewResolver's).
Updates to Javadoc and tests.
Issue: SPR-7093
This change improves the support for auto-registration of FreeMarker,
Velocity, and Tiles configuration.
The configuration is now conditional not only based on the classpath
but also based on whether a FreeMarkerConfigurer for example is already
present in the configuration.
This change also introduces FreeMarker~, Velocity~, and
TilesWebMvcConfigurer interfaces for customizing each view technology.
The WebMvcConfigurer can still be used to configure all view resolvers
centrally (including FreeMarker, Velocity, and Tiles) without some
default conifguration, i.e. without the need to use the new
~WebMvcConfigurer interfaces until customizations are required.
Issue: SPR-7093
This commit improves and completes the initial MVC namespace
view resolution implementation. ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
registration is now also supported.
Java Config view resolution support has been added.
FreeMarker, Velocity and Tiles view configurers are registered
depending on the classpath thanks to an ImportSelector.
For both, a default configuration is provided and documented.
Issue: SPR-7093
Move spring-webmvc-tiles3 content to spring-webmvc, and
create a spring-webmvc-tiles2 module with Tiles 2 support.
Its allows View Resolution to configure Tiles 3 instead of Tiles 2.
Issue: SPR-7093
When using ServletUriComponentsBuilder.fromRequest, this change
makes sure that:
* the default port is used when the "X-Forwarded-Host" header is set
and no port is defined in that header value
* to use the scheme defined in the "X-Forwarded-Proto" header if set
Issue: SPR-11872
This change renames AppCacheResourceTransformer to
AppCacheManifestTransfomer, in order to avoid confusion between this
transformer and the CacheResourceTransformer (which caches
transformations done by the chain to save CPU/memory at runtime).
Issue: SPR-11964
This change adds a new ResourceTransformer that helps handling resources
within HTML5 AppCache manifests for HTML5 offline application.
This transformer:
* modifies links to match the public URL paths
* appends a comment in the manifest, containing a Hash (e.g. "# Hash:
9de0f09ed7caf84e885f1f0f11c7e326")
See http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/offline.html#offline
for more details on HTML5 offline apps and appcache manifests.
Here is a WebConfig example:
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
AppCacheResourceTransformer appCacheTransformer =
new AppCacheResourceTransformer();
registry.addResourceHandler("/**")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:static/")
.setResourceResolvers(...)
.setResourceTransformers(..., appCacheTransformer);
}
Issue: SPR-11964
Users can not mix and match between "inner bean" argument resolver and "external bean" argument resolver. This commit only focuses only on argument-resolver, while the support could be extended to return value handlers as well.
Issue: SPR-11927
This change adds support for configuring ResourceResolvers and
ResourceTransformers with ResourceHttpRequestHandlers.
This is an example configuration:
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/">
<mvc:resolvers>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.PathResourceResolver"/>
<ref bean="myResourceResolver"/>
</mvc:resolvers>
<mvc:transformers>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.CssLinkResourceTransformer" />
</mvc:transformers>
</mvc:resources>
<bean id="myResourceResolver" class="org.example.resource.MyResourceResolver"/>
Issue: SPR-10951
This change exposes exceptions handled in the DispatcherServlet with a
HandlerExceptionResolver as a request attribute. This is done only when
the resolver returns an empty ModelAndView indicating the exception was
resolved but not view is required (e.g. status code was set). In such
cases the exception may be useful to any handlers in an ERRPR dispatch
by the servlet container.
Issue: SPR-11686
This commit introduces the RequestEntity, a class similar to
ResponseEntity, but meant for HTTP requests rather than responses. The
RequestEntity can be used both in RestTemplate as well as @MVC
scenarios.
The class also comes with a builder, similar to the one found in
ResponseEntity, which allows for building of a RequestEntity through a
fluent API.
Issue: SPR-11752
Prior to this commit, one of the available strategies for resolving
resources was the PrefixResourceResolver. Reconsidering the core goal of
this resolver and the FingerprintResourceResolver, we found that the
true core feature is versioning static resources application-wide.
This commit refactors both Resolvers by:
* having only on VersionResourceResolver
* that resolver takes a mapping of paths -> VersionStrategy
* provided VersionStrategy implementations are ContentBasedVS
(previously FingerprintRR), FixedVS (previously PrefixRR)
One can add a VersionResourceResolver like this:
Map<String, VersionStrategy> versionStrategies = new HashMap<>();
versionStrategies.put("/**/*.js", new PrefixVersionStrategy("prefix"));
versionStrategies.put("/**", new ContentBasedVersionStrategy());
VersionResourceResolver versionResolver = new VersionResourceResolver();
versionResolver.setVersionStrategyMap(versionStrategies);
List<ResourceResolver> resolvers = new ArrayList<ResourceResolver>();
resolvers.add(versionResolver);
resolvers.add(new PathResourceResolver());
Issue: SPR-11871
After this change, java.util.Optional is supported with @RequestParam,
@RequestHeader, and @MatrixVariable arguments in Java 8. When Optional
is used the required flag is effectively ignored.
Issue: SPR-11829
Prior to this commit, the CssLinkResourceTransformer would transform
"external resources", i.e. resources not served by the web application.
This commit only allows transformation for resources which path don't
contain scheme such as "file://" or "http://". Only relative and
absolute paths for resources served by the webapp are valid.
Issue: SPR-11860
Since SPR-11486 and SPR-10163, Path Matching options can be configured
to customize path matching options for RequestMappingHandlerMapping.
Prior to this commit, the defined pathMatcher and pathHelper instances
were only used in RequestMappingHandlerMapping.
This commit now registers pathMatcher and pathHelper beans under
well-known names and share them with several HandlerMappings beans,
such as ViewControllerMappings and ResourcesMappings.
Issue: SPR-11753
This commit adds a new function to the Spring tag library for preparing
links to @Controller methods. For more details see the Javadoc of
MvcUriComponentsBuilder.fromMappingName.
Issue: SPR-5779
This commit adds support for Groovy Markup templates.
Spring's support requires Groovy 2.3.1+.
To use it, simply create a GroovyMarkupConfigurer and a
GroovyMarkupViewResolver beans in the web application context.
Issue: SPR-11789
Enable JSONP support by wrapping the JSON output into
a callback when a JSONP query parameter specifying the
function name to use as callback is detected.
Default query parameter names recognized as JSONP ones
are "jsonp" and "callback". This list can be customized if
needed.
This commit also fixes JSONView support by removing
the view name specified in the model from the output.
Issue: SPR-8346
This change adds a ResourceTransformer that can be invoked in a chain
after resource resolution. The CssLinkResourceTransformer modifies a
CSS file being served in order to update its @import and url() links
(e.g. to images or other CSS files) to match the resource resolution
strategy (e.g. adding MD5 content-based hashes).
Issue: SPR-11800
The newly added support for ResponseBodyInterceptor is a good fit for
the (also recently added) support for the Jackson @JsonView annotation.
This change refactors the original implementation of @JsonView support
for @ResponseBody and ResponseEntity controller methods this time
implemented as an ResponseBodyInterceptor.
Issue: SPR-7156
This change introduces a new ResponseBodyInterceptor interface that can
be used to modify the response after @ResponseBody or ResponseEntity
methods but before the body is actually written to the response with the
selected HttpMessageConverter.
The RequestMappingHandlerAdapter and ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver
each have a property to configure such interceptors. In addition both
RequestMappingHandlerAdapter and ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver
detect if any @ControllerAdvice bean implements ResponseBodyInterceptor
and use it accordingly.
Issue: SPR-10859
This feature required support for response exposure on Servlet/PortletRequestAttributes, instead of just in the Servlet/PortletWebRequest subclasses.
Issue: SPR-11795
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
Before this change UrlTag expanded URI vars and encoded them using
UriUtils.encodePath.
This change makes it possible to expand using
UriUtils.encodePathSegment, which means a "/" is encoded as "%2F".
To expand with path segment semantics, prefix the URI var name "/":
<spring:url value="/url/path/{/var}">
<spring:param name="var" value="my/Id" />
</spring:url>
Issue: SPR-11401
This change adds a strategy for assigning a default name to an
@RequestMapping controller method. The @RequestMapping annotation
itself now has a name attribute allowing the explicit assignment
of a mapping name.
This is mainly intended for use in EL expressions in views. The
RequestContext class now provides a getMvcUrl method that internally
delegates to MvcUriComponents to look up the handler method.
See the Javadoc of MvcUriComponents.fromMappingName.
Issue: SPR-5779
This change refines the logic of "mapping" content negotiation
strategies with regards to how to handle cases where no mapping is
found.
The request parameter strategy now treats request parameter values that
do not match any mapped media type as 406 errors.
The path extension strategy provides a new flag called
"ignoreUnknownExtensions" (true by default) that when set to false also
results in a 406. The same flag is also exposed through the
ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean and the MVC Java config.
Issue: SPR-10170
Animal sniffer provides tools to assist verifying that classes
compiled with a newer JDK are compatible with an older JDK.
This integratesthe latest version of the tool (1.11) that
permits the use of custom annotations. Added @UsesJava7,
@UsesJava8 and @UsesSunHttpServer and annotated the few places
where we rely on a specific environment.
The verification process can be invoked by running the 'sniff'
task.
Issue: SPR-11604
polishing
The configured prefix should not begin with a "/", since
PublicResourceUrlProvider is already taking path mapping into account
when resolving resources and URLs.
- ResourceResolver and ResourceResolverChain now have a consistent API
with regard to method names and terminology.
- ResourceResolver and ResourceResolverChain now accept
List<? extends Resource> instead of List<Resource> for simplified
programmatic use.
- Improved Javadoc across the package.
- Formatted code to align with standards.
- Removed all references to ResourceUrlPathTranslator.
Issue: SPR-10933
An initial commit with expanded support for static resource handling:
- Add ResourceResolver strategy for resolving a request to a Resource
along with a few implementations.
- Add PublicResourceUrlProvider to get URLs for client-side use.
- Add ResourceUrlEncodingFilter and
PublicResourceUrlProviderExposingInterceptor along with initial
MVC Java config support.
Issue: SPR-10933
Previously, the use of Assume.group(CUSTOM_COMPILATION) in
AbstractJasperReportsTests excluded all JR tests when executing in the
IDE (e.g., Eclipse). This commit executes the assumption only where
necessary.
This reverts commit 3474afb165.
Unfortunately this change is likely to cause issues for applications
that use regular expressions in a URI variable. I think we will have
to leave at: if there are any dots in the last segment of the
request path, regardless of whether they're in a URI var or not,
the suffix pattern match is off.
Issue: SPR-11532
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.
After this change dots inside URI variables in a request mapping
pattern are ignored and no longer considered an indication that
the pattern contains a suffix itself.
Issue: SPR-11532
In addition to the target parameter values (SPR-9657), the target
parameter names must also be decoded to be able to match
them to the parameter names of incoming requests.
Issue: SPR-11504
- Deleted empty AbstractWebSocketClientTests class.
- AbstractServletHandlerMethodTests and AbstractHttpRequestTests are
now actually declared as abstract.
- The following classes are not abstract but currently have an
"Abstract" prefix and therefore get ignored by the Gradle build.
This commit renames each of these by deleting the "Abstract" prefix.
- AbstractFlashMapManagerTests
- AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategyTests
- AbstractSockJsServiceTests
- AbstractWebSocketHandlerRegistrationTests
Prior to this commit, one had to provide her own
RequestMappingHandlerMapping instance (i.e extend
WebMvcConfigurationSupport and override the requestMappingHandlerMapping
method) in order to customize path matching properties on that bean.
Since SPR-10163, XML config users can do that using the
<mvc:path-matching/> XML tag. This commit adds the same feature to MVC
Java config with a PathMatchConfigurer.
Issue: SPR-11486
- Consistent importing of org.junit.Assert.*;
- Proper declaration of expected exceptions via @Test(expected).
- Renamed SpEL ExpressionTestCase to AbstractExpressionTests.
- Formatting and test method naming conventions.
AssertionFailedError was thrown by JUnit 3.8. Since RedirectViewTests
has been upgraded to JUnit 4, now standard java.lang.AssertionErrors are
thrown. Thus, attempting to catch an AssertionFailedError is futile.
Of course, since these tests have not been failing, it is likely a moot
point, but changing the try-catch blocks to catch a possible
AssertionError can't be a bad thing.
Before this change MvcUriComponentsBuilder could not create a
UriComponentsBuilder for methods where the mapping has a URI variable
and no matching method argument for it.
For example a URI variable may be in the type-level mapping but not
all methods may have an @PathVariable argument for it.
This fix addresses the shortcoming such that MvcUriComponentsBuilder
expands the method argument values available to it and leaves remaining
URI variables to be further expanded via UriComponents.expand().
Issue: SPR-11391
Fix testPrintFormattedScopedAttributeResult test in org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.EvalTagTests class by making an assertion which is not locale dependent.

Prior to this commit, parts of a multipart HTTP request could be
injected in @RequestPart and @RequestParam annotated arguments, when
using types:
* MultipartFile, Collection<MultiPartFile>
* javax.servlet.Part, Collection<Part>
This commits updates @RequestParam and @RequestPart argument resolvers
and now allows the array versions of those types:
* Part[]
* MultiPartFile[]
Note that the MockHtpServletRequest backing tests for standard
Servlets implementations now uses a MultiValueMap to store parts
(versus a simple hashmap).
Issue: SPR-11353
This change makes it possible to provide no configuration for the
DispatcherServlet when extending
AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer, and therefore
provide all config through the "root" context.
Issue: SPR-11357
Prior to this commit, it was necessary to override
the HandlerMapping definition to change properties
like useSuffixPatternMatch, useSuffixPatternMatch...
Also, one couldn't set custom pathmatcher/pathhelper
on RequestMappingHandlerMapping via XML configuration.
This commits adds a new "mvc:annotation-driven"
subelement called "mvc:path-matching" for the tag
that allows to configure such properties:
* suffix-pattern
* trailing-slash
* registered-suffixes-only
* path-matcher
* path-helper
Note: this is a new take on this issue, since
96b418cc has been reverted by e2b99c3.
Issue: SPR-10163
This reverts commit 96b418cc8a,
"Make RequestMappingHandlerMapping xml config easier".
This implementation makes the mvc:annotation namespace less readable,
and future configuration items would add even more to this namespace.

JXL had no release since 2009, and has some serious bugs remaining: e.g. JXL on Unix cannot read template files created on Windows, using the 'latest' JXL 2.6.12 release.
Prior to this commit, it was necessary to override
the HandlerMapping definition to change properties
like useSuffixPatternMatch, useSuffixPatternMatch...
This commits adds new attributes on the
mvc:annotation-driven XML tag that allows to configure
such flags:
* use-suffix-pattern-match
* use-trailing-slash-match
* use-registered-suffix-pattern-match
Issue: SPR-10163
Configurers and BeanDefinitionParsers should use
OptionalValidatorFactoryBean instead of

The testDefaultConfig() method in MvcNamespaceTests creates a new Date()
in its test fixture but then performs an assertion against a hard coded
data string of "2013-10-21". This test therefore only passed yesterday,
on October 21, 2013.
This commit addresses this by changing the hard coded date string to one
based on the current date.
Issue: SPR-10665, SPR-8826
The key contract is MvcUrls. An instance is automatically created with
the Spring MVC namespace and the MVC Java config but can also be easily
created in any configuration.
Some example tests can be found in DefaultMvcUrlsTests.
Issue: SPR-10665, SPR-8826
MvcUriComponentsBuilder allows creating URIs that point to Spring MVC
controller methods annotated with @RequestMapping. It builds them by
exposing a mock method invocation API similar to Mockito, records the
method invocations and thus builds up the URI by inspecting the mapping
annotations and the parameters handed into the method invocations.
Introduced a new SPI UriComponentsContributor that should be implemented
by HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers that actually contribute path segments
or query parameters to a URI. While the newly introduced
MvcUriComponentsBuilder looks up those UriComponentsContributor instances
from the MVC configuration.
The MvcUriComponentsBuilderFactory (name to be discussed - MvcUris maybe?)
prevents the multiple lookups by keeping the UriComponentsBuilder
instances in an instance variable. So an instance of the factory could
be exposed as Spring bean or through a HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to
be injected into Controller methods.
Issue: SPR-10665, SPR-8826
Update `AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster` to support `EventObjects`
with a null source (which can happen if they have been serialized).
Issue: SPR-10945
Prior to this commit, @ControllerAdvice annotated beans would
assist all known Controllers, by applying @ExceptionHandler,
@InitBinder, and @ModelAttribute.
This commit updates the @ControllerAdvice annotation,
which accepts now base package names, assignableTypes,
annotations and basePackageClasses.
If attributes are set, only Controllers that match those
selectors will be assisted by the annotated class.
This commit does not change the default behavior when
no value is set, i.e. @ControllerAdvice().
Issue: SPR-10222
Before this change, async result handling on controller methods failed
to observe type-level annotations annotations. The issue was never
noticed until we started supporting type-level @ResponseBody and the
@RestController meta annotation.

Includes revisions of MethodParameter and DependencyDescriptor (in particular towards a reference to the containing class). Also refines several ResolvableType method signatures.
Issue: SPR-9965
Prior to this commit, the template method createDataBinderFactory
would only allow ServletRequestDataBinderFactory as a return type.
This commit updates the method signature and allows
InitBinderDataBinderFactory, a superclass of the previous one.
Then other implementations can override this method and return
other InitBinderDataBinderFactory types.
Issue: SPR-10920
Refactor AbstractMessageConverterMethodArgumentResolver and
BridgeMethodResolver to use ResolvableType in preference to deprecated
GenericTypeResolver calls.
Issue: SPR-10980
A few noteworthy minor changes: LocaleContext.getLocale() may return null in special cases (not by default), which our own accessing classes are able to handle now. If there is a non-null TimeZone user setting, we're exposing it to all collaborating libraries, in particular to JSTL, Velocity and JasperReports. Our JSR-310 and Joda-Time support falls back to checking the general LocaleContext TimeZone now, adapting it to their time zone types, if no more specific setting has been provided. Our DefaultConversionService has TimeZone<->ZoneId converters registered. And finally, we're using a custom parseTimeZoneString method now that doesn't accept the TimeZone.getTimeZone(String) GMT fallback for an invalid time zone id anymore.
Issue: SPR-1528
Renamed ResourceUrlMapper to ResourceUrlGenerator and refactored it
to be configured with Resource-serving HandlerMappings as opposed to
having them detected in the ApplicationContext through the
BeanPostProcessor contact.
Renamed and polished ResourceUrlEncodingFilter to ResourceUrlFilter
and added tests.
This change splits out resource transformation out from the
ResourceResolverChain so that chain is focused entirely on resource
resolution (as its name suggests). The invocation of transformers
is left as a separate step, it uses a different (recursive)
algorithm in any case and iterates over a different set of objects.
Also ResourceResolverChain is now limited strictly to methods that
a ResourceResolver should be able to use to delegate to remaining
resolvers.
Furthermore, ResourceResolverChain now maintains an internal index
of the "current" resolver so that resolvers don't have to pass the
chain when invoking it much like a (Servlet API) FilterChain works.
If the last resolver calls the chain again, a null value is returned.
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
Also fixing an old XmlBeanFactory test that relies on "ref local" which is gone in the 4.0 xsd now, redeclaring the affected file to an older xsd version.
Also, StandardReflectionParameterNameDiscoverer calls "Parameter.isNamePresent()" now to return null (and pass on to the next discoverer) if no JDK 8 parameters are available. Note that this requires OpenJDK 8 b100 or higher to compile now.
Issue: SPR-10532
This change enables having @ResponseBody on the type-level in which
case it inherited and does not need to be added on the method level.
For added convenience, there is also a new @RestController annotation,
a meta-annotation in turn annotated with @Controller and @ResponseBody.
Classes with the new annotation do not need to have @ResponseBody
declared on the method level as it is inherited.
Issue: SPR-10814
MimeType is available in core-spring and does not include support
for quality parameters and media used in HTTP content negotiation.
The MediaType sub-class in org.springframework.http adds q-parameters.
Previously building with JDK > 1.8 b88 caused test failures due to errors
with custom compilers like Jibx and Jasper reports.
This commit adds a new TestGroup named CUSTOM_COMPILATION that allows the
CI server to continue to run these tests but allow committers to ignore
these tests.
Add a new <spring:argument> tag that cab be nested within
<spring:message> and <spring:theme>. The tag is based on the <fmt:param>
tag and uses conventions found throughout other Spring tags.
Issue: SPR-9678
The following commit in 3.2.3 had a side effect on CNVR:
aaded7e30b
It appears that CNVR doesn't treat a request for "*/*" differently
from a request that does not request content types. Both should be
interpreted as "any content type is acceptable". This fix ensures
that CNVR treats these two cases the same way.
Issue: SPR-10683
Prior to this commit the Spring Framework did not provide a public means
for scanning for available server ports. However, the Spring Framework
internally used a FreePortScanner in integration tests within its own
test suite. Furthermore, Spring Integration 2.2 provides similar support
in a SocketUtils class in the spring-integration-test module.
This commit introduces SocketUtils in spring-core to replace the
FreePortScanner which was previously only used internally within
Spring's test suite. This new implementation is inspired by both Spring
Framework's FreePortScanner and Spring Integration's SocketUtils and
consequently attempts to merge the best of both previous
implementations.
Issue: SPR-8032
This change involves a modification of the "writeContent" template method to include the "jsonPrefix" String instead of the "prefixJson" boolean flag. Since said template method has only been introduced in 3.2.2, this change should hopefully not be a problem.
Issue: SPR-10567
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
A recent change in FormTag to prepend the context and servlet paths if
not present, causes issues when used in portlet applications.
This change introduces a servletRelativeAction form tag attribute that
must be used for the context and servlet paths to be prepended.
Issue: SPR-10382
@InitBinder and @ModelAttribute methods in @ControllerAdvice classes
are now invoked first, allowing any such methods in the @Controller
class to override them.
Issue: SPR-10419
Change FrameworkServlet so that it can also be used as a bean within an
existing ApplicationContext. Primarily added to support use with
embedded servlet containers where Spring bootstraps the servlet
container, rather than the servlet container bootstrapping Spring.
Issue: SPR-10381
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).
Issue: SPR-10437
Add temporary Assume.canLoadNativeDirFonts() method allowing failing
jasper report tests to be bypassed on OSX.
This should be revisited when JDK 8 is released.
Issue: SPR-10537
Use LinkedHashMaps/Sets wherever exposed to users, and code tests defensively in terms of expected Map/Set ordering. Otherwise, there'll be runtime order differences between JDK 7 and JDK 8 due to internal HashMap/Set implementation differences.
Issue: SPR-9639
Add 'jasperreports.properties' to ignore missing fonts in order that
tests pass on Linux.
The upgraded JasperReports 5.0.4 throws a JRFontNotFoundException when
a report font is not found. This caused Spring MVC tests to fail since
the example reports used the 'Arial' font which is not shipped with most
Linux distributions.
An alternative fix would have been to package fonts with the reports
using JasperReports font extension support.

Update ResourcesBeanDefinitionParser to use ensure that location
attribute values remain in the order that they are specified. The
order was inadvertently changed in commit 3838d159f3 due to the use
of StringUtils.commaDelimitedListToSet which sorts items.
Issue: SPR-10355
In Spring 3.2 a fix was implemented for all Spring Freemarker form
macros so that generated form input fields have valid bracketless IDs.
In the fix a regression was introduced manifesting in formCheckbox
macro no longer generating appropriate names for checkbox and hidden
input field.
This change fixes mentioned regression issue.
Issue: SPR-8732
Refactor FrameworkServlet.doOptions() to capture the "Allow" header
by using a HttpServletResponseWrapper.
Prior to this commit the HttpServletResponse.getHeader() method was
used which is only available in Servlet 3.0 environments.
Issue: SPR-10341
Before this change the presence of path params (e.g. "/foo;q=1/bar")
expected the request mapping to contain a URI variable in the place of
semicolon content (e.g. either "/{foo}/bar" or "/{foo};{fooParams}").
The change ensures path params are ignored in @RequestMapping patterns
so that "/foo/bar" matches to "/foo;q=1/bar" as well as
"/foo;q=1;p=2/bar".
Along with this change, the RequestMappingHandlerMapping no longer
defaults to having semicolon content removed from the URL, which means
@MatrixVariable is supported by default without the need for any
further configuration.
Issue: SPR-10234
ConfigurableWebEnvironment was introduced in 3.2.0.M1 with SPR-9439 in
order to break a cyclic dependency. At the same time, certain signatures
such as AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext#getEnviroment and
GenericWebApplicationContext#getEnvironment were updated to take
advantage of covariant return types and return this newer, more narrow
type and providing cast-free calls to ConfigurableWebEnvironment methods
where necessary. Similar changes were made to HttpServletBean in
3.2.0.M2 with SPR-9763.
Narrowing #getEnvironment signatures in this fashion required enforcing
at the #setEnvironment level that any Environment instance provided
(explicitly or via the EnvironmentAware callback) must be an instance of
ConfigurableWebEnvironment. This is a reasonable assertion in typical
web application scenarios, but as SPR-10138 demonstrates, there are
valid use cases in which one may want or need to inject a non-web
ConfigurableEnvironment variant, e.g. during automated unit/integration
testing.
On review, it was never strictly necessary to narrow #getEnvironment
signatures, although doing so did provided convenience and type safety.
In order to maintain as flexible and backward-compatible an arrangement
as possible, this commit relaxes these #getEnvironment signatures back
to their original, pre-3.2 state. Namely, they now return
ConfigurableEnvironment as opposed to ConfigurableWebEnvironment, and in
accordance, all instanceof assertions have been removed or relaxed to
ensure that injected Environment instances are of type
ConfigurableEnvironment.
These changes have been verified against David Winterfeldt's Spring by
Example spring-rest-services project, as described at SPR-10138.
Issue: SPR-10138, SPR-9763, SPR-9439
For testing purposes in which an Environment implementation is required
but a ConfigurableEnvironment is not desirable.
All methods are no-ops and return null, therefore NPEs are likely.
The fields returned from a RequestDataValueProcessor are now
written as hidden fields without a closing tag.
Before:
<input type="hidden" name="xxx" value="yyy"></input>
After:
<input type="hidden" name="xxx" value="yyy" />

The files deleted in this commit existed in identical form in two places
within a given module; typically in src/test/java and
src/test/resources. The version within src/test/resources has been
favored in all cases.
This change was prompted by associated Eclipse warnings, which have now
been quelled.
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.

Fix deprecation compiler warnings by refactoring code or applying
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") annotations. JUnit tests of
internally deprecated classes are now themselves marked as
@Deprecated.
Numerous EasyMock deprecation warnings will remain until the
migration to mockito can be completed.
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.
In particular, avoiding synchronized Sets and Maps wherever possible (preferring a ConcurrentHashMap even instead of a synchronized Set) and specifying appropriate ConcurrentHashMap initial capacities (even if we end up choosing 16).
- Support external Javadoc links using Gradle's javadoc.options.links
- Fix all other Javadoc warnings, such as typos, references to
non-existent (or no longer existent) types and members, etc,
including changes related to the Quartz 2.0 upgrade (SPR-8275) and
adding the HTTP PATCH method (SPR-7985).
- Suppress all output for project-level `javadoc` tasks in order to
hide false-negative warnings about cross-module @see and @link
references (e.g. spring-core having a @see reference to spring-web).
Use the `--info` (-i) flag to gradle at any time to see project-level
javadoc warnings without running the entire `api` task. e.g.
`gradle :spring-core:javadoc -i`
- Favor root project level `api` task for detection of legitimate
Javadoc warnings. There are now zero Javadoc warnings across the
entirety of spring-framework. Goal: keep it that way.
- Remove all @link and @see references to types and members that exist
only in Servlet <= 2.5 and Hibernate <= 4.0, favoring 3.0+ and 4.0+
respectively. This is necessary because only one version of each of
these dependencies can be present on the global `api` javadoc task's
classpath. To that end, the `api` task classpath has now been
customized to ensure that the Servlet 3 API and Hibernate Core 4 jars
have precedence.
- SPR-8896 replaced our dependency on aspectjrt with a dependency on
aspectjweaver, which is fine from a POM point of view, but causes
a spurious warning to be emitted from the ant iajc task that it
"cannot find aspectjrt on the classpath" - even though aspectjweaver
is perfectly sufficient. In the name of keeping the console quiet, a
new `rt` configuration has been added, and aspectjrt added as a
dependency to it. In turn, configurations.rt.asPath is appended to
the iajc classpath during both compileJava and compileTestJava for
spring-aspects.

This change introduces a new AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter
class that adds JSON and XML converters for individual mime parts of
a multi-part request. The new converter is used in place of the
previously used XmlAwareFormHttpMessageConverter.
Issue: SPR-10055
Prevously the FrameworkServlet created a new ServletRequestAttributes
instance for every request, unless the RequestContextHolder already
contained an instance whose type is not ServletRequestAttributes.
The main intent was that if RequestContextHolder contains a
PortletRequestAttributes, it should be left in place.
This change does an "instanceof" check against the request in
RequestContextHolder instead of an "equals" check on the type.
It still leaves PortletRequestAttributes in place but also allows
the previous request to be any sub-class of ServletRequestAttributes.
Issue: SPR-10025
Spring Framework 3.2 M2 added the ability to map requests using only
file extensions registered through the configured through a
ContentNeotiationManager, as opposed to allowing any file extension
(i.e. ".*"). The MVC namespace the MVC Java config automatically
register extensions such as ".json" and ".xml" depending on libraries
found on the classpath. That in turn causes issues in cases where
additional extensions are in use but not registered (e.g. ".html").
This change ensures that matching with registered file extensions only
works only if explicitly enabled through a property on
RequestMappingHandlerMapping.
Issue: SPR-10061, SPR-8474
Previously when running the tests for spring-web, spring-webmvc,
spring-test-mvc, and spring-orm there were possible collissions in the
classpath due to the fact that each had its own copy of the web.Mock*
classes in it. This causes uncertainty for which class the code was
running against. Furthermore, the maintance of keeping the copies up to
date was tedious.
Now there are two copies of the web.Mock* classes. The ones that exist
in spring-test main sources and a copy that supports servlet 3 within
spring-web test sources. The copy in spring-web test sources has been
moved to a new package to avoid having the classes exist twice on the
classpath within Eclipse.
The name MvcAsyncTask is misleading because the class is part of Spring
Web as apposed to Spring MVC. This is also inconsistent with the other
async classes which use Web instead of Mvc.
This commit changes MvcAsyncTask to WebAsyncTask making it more
consistent with the jar it is found in and the other async classes.
Issue: SPR-10051
Since web applications declaring a Servlet 2.3 web.xml become really rare now, we're finally deprecating Spring's own ExpressionEvaluationUtils class. As a consequence, we're also setting "springJspExpressionSupport" to false by default, avoiding the potential double EL evaluation problem on pre-Servlet-3.0 containers.
Issue: SPR-5308
The change to support generic @RequestBody arguments introduced in
3.2 M2 also introduced a regression in reading arguments that are
type variables. This change fixes the issue.
Issue: SPR-9964
When a controller method declares Callable or DeferredResult as its
return value, and returns null, async processing will not start and
the request will be considered "handled" by the controller method.
Issue: SPR-9951
This change ensures that the location attribute of a resource mapping
and the path attribute of an interceptor mapping support SpEL
expressions.
Issue: SPR-9291, SPR-9848
Prior to this change,
FrameworkServlet#configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext called
#postProcessWebApplicationContext(wac) and #applyInitializers(wac)
prior to #refresh, but because servlet-based property source stubs were
not replaced until #refresh, any post-processing or initialization
routines could not benefit from accessing the Environment to retrieve
properties from the ServletContext or ServletConfig.
The workaround to this problem is detailed in SPR-9610 - the user simply
needed to call WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources
manually within their ApplicationContextInitializer (or overridden
#postProcessWebApplicationContext method)
This commit ensures that
FrameworkServlet#configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext calls
WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources eagerly, prior to
invoking #postProcessWebApplicationContext and #applyInitializers.
Related Javadoc has also been updated throughout to clarify the behavior
of #initServletPropertySources, when it can be called and what the
effects are, etc.
Note also that a reproduction issue was added to demonstrate the problem
and verify its resolution [1].
