The "includes" and "isCompatibleWith" methods of MediaType take into
account media types with suffices (e.g. application/soap+xml) including
wildcards with suffices (e.g. application/*+xml). However before this
change, the isWildcardSubtype() method returned true only for subtype
"*". Now a media type such as application/*+xml is also recognized as
having a wildcard subtype.

This should be significantly faster than our standard algorithm, for a very common case. Motivated by SPR-9802, even if the fix there uses a different approach, with transaction name determination not calling getMostSpecificMethod at all anymore.
Issue: SPR-9802
As of Spring 3.0.4, we were trying to expose the target method signature as transaction name. Unfortunately, the algorithm called the ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod helper method which performs a quite expensive reflective search. As of this commit, we're simply concatenating the target class name with the method name, accepting the use of the concrete target class (which is arguably more meaningful for monitoring anyway) even when the method implementation actually sits on a base class.

These features require Java 6 or higher due to their dependency on the ResourceBundle.Control class. To some degree, ResourceBundleMessageSource catches up with ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource now. However, as noted in the javadoc, there are still severe limitations in the standard ResourceBundle class that justify an ongoing investment in our own ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource (based on the Spring resource abstraction, with manual parsing of properties files).

Autowired methods might have been skipped on subsequent creation of further bean instances due to the 'skip' flag set to false outside of the synchronized block, with another thread entering the block and setting the flag to true in the meantime.

Usually this request attribute is set for all sub-classes of
AbstractUrlHandlerMapping and therefore whenever
AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter is used. However, having a
default value to fall back on in AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter
is still appropriate in general and also considering the Javadoc
of HandlerMapping.INTROSPECT_TYPE_LEVEL_MAPPING.
