UrlResource constructors throw checked exceptions which makes it
difficult to use them in java.util.Stream and java.util.Optional APIs
or other scenarios when a checked IOException is undesirable.
To support such use cases, this commit introduces `from(URI)` and
`from(String)` factory methods in UrlResource that throw
UncheckedIOExceptions.
Closes gh-28501
Decoding is required for non-UrlResource when the HandlerMapping is
not expected to decode the path. Encoding is the opposite.
This commit ensures correct determination of whether the HandlerMapping
is expected to have decoded the path or not that in turn depends on
whether PathPattern or PathMatcher is in use.
Closes gh-27791
This commit improves registerAnnotation to also registers the meta
annotation sources, if any. Without them, the annotation could not
be fully resolved.
See gh-28497
This commit adds a `@Reflective` annotation that can be used to declare
that the annotated element requires reflection at runtime. By default,
the annotated element is exposed but this can be customized by
specifying a dedicated `ReflectiveProcessor`.
Closes gh-28469
This commit adds a utility that takes care of registering the necessary
hints to make an annotation visible at runtime. The core framework may
create a JDK proxy if necessary, which requires specific handling.
Closes gh-28497
Prior to this commit, a ClassCastException was thrown for an Optional
return type for an @HttpExchange method. This is because the check for
an Optional return type was based on the type contained in the Optional
instead of the Optional itself.
Closes gh-28493
This reduces the package cycle between aot and annotation to an Autowired annotation reference in ConstructorOrFactoryMethodResolver, to be resolved along with gh-27920.
