Move JNDI_PROPERTY_SOURCE_ENABLED_FLAG from JndiPropertySource to
StandardServletEnvironment, as this is the only context in which the
constant makes sense.
In support of SPR-7672 which will support code-based configuration
alternatives to web.xml using new features in the Servlet 3.0 API.
This upgrade does *not* force Spring users to upgrade to Servlet 3.0
capable containers. Compatibility with and support for
javax.servlet >= 2.4 remains.
Issue: SPR-7672
Primarily for use in conjunction with ApplicationContextInitializer,
these new #scan and #register methods mirror those in
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext. #setConfigLocation
and #setConfigLocations methods remain for compatibility with
ContextLoader-style initialization, but have been locally overridden
and documented clearly.
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext#loadBeanDefinitions Javadoc has
also been updated to explain the processing logic for each of these
potential inputs.
Issue: SPR-8320
Introduce FeatureSpecification interface and implementations
FeatureSpecification objects decouple the configuration of
spring container features from the concern of parsing XML
namespaces, allowing for reuse in code-based configuration
(see @Feature* annotations below).
* ComponentScanSpec
* TxAnnotationDriven
* MvcAnnotationDriven
* MvcDefaultServletHandler
* MvcResources
* MvcViewControllers
Refactor associated BeanDefinitionParsers to delegate to new impls above
The following BeanDefinitionParser implementations now deal only
with the concern of XML parsing. Validation is handled by their
corresponding FeatureSpecification object. Bean definition creation
and registration is handled by their corresponding
FeatureSpecificationExecutor type.
* ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser
* AnnotationDrivenBeanDefinitionParser (tx)
* AnnotationDrivenBeanDefinitionParser (mvc)
* DefaultServletHandlerBeanDefinitionParser
* ResourcesBeanDefinitionParser
* ViewControllerBeanDefinitionParser
Update AopNamespaceUtils to decouple from XML (DOM API)
Methods necessary for executing TxAnnotationDriven specification
(and eventually, the AspectJAutoProxy specification) have been
added that accept boolean arguments for whether to proxy
target classes and whether to expose the proxy via threadlocal.
Methods that accepted and introspected DOM Element objects still
exist but have been deprecated.
Introduce @FeatureConfiguration classes and @Feature methods
Allow for creation and configuration of FeatureSpecification objects
at the user level. A companion for @Configuration classes allowing
for completely code-driven configuration of the Spring container.
See changes in ConfigurationClassPostProcessor for implementation
details.
See Feature*Tests for usage examples.
FeatureTestSuite in .integration-tests is a JUnit test suite designed
to aggregate all BDP and Feature* related tests for a convenient way
to confirm that Feature-related changes don't break anything.
Uncomment this test and execute from Eclipse / IDEA. Due to classpath
issues, this cannot be compiled by Ant/Ivy at the command line.
Introduce @FeatureAnnotation meta-annotation and @ComponentScan impl
@FeatureAnnotation provides an alternate mechanism for creating
and executing FeatureSpecification objects. See @ComponentScan
and its corresponding ComponentScanAnnotationParser implementation
for details. See ComponentScanAnnotationIntegrationTests for usage
examples
Introduce Default[Formatting]ConversionService implementations
Allows for convenient instantiation of ConversionService objects
containing defaults appropriate for most environments. Replaces
similar support originally in ConversionServiceFactory (which is now
deprecated). This change was justified by the need to avoid use
of FactoryBeans in @Configuration classes (such as
FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean). It is strongly preferred
that users simply instantiate and configure the objects that underlie
our FactoryBeans. In the case of the ConversionService types, the
easiest way to do this is to create Default* subtypes. This also
follows convention with the rest of the framework.
Minor updates to util classes
All in service of changes above. See diffs for self-explanatory
details.
* BeanUtils
* ObjectUtils
* ReflectionUtils
DefaultWebEnvironment automatically adds a JndiPropertySource if
a "jndiPropertySourceEnabled" property is detected in any of the
other other default property sources.
* PropertySources is now an Iterable<PropertySource> in favor of
exposing an asList() method
* Otherwise reduced the set of methods exposed by PropertySources to the
absolute minimum
* Added Javadoc for both types and all methods
Decomposed Environment interface into PropertySources, PropertyResolver
objects
Environment interface and implementations are still present, but
simpler.
PropertySources container aggregates PropertySource objects;
PropertyResolver provides search, conversion, placeholder
replacement. Single implementation for now is
PropertySourcesPlaceholderResolver
Renamed EnvironmentAwarePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer
<context:property-placeholder/> now registers PSPC by default, else
PPC if systemPropertiesMode* settings are involved
Refined configuration and behavior of default profiles
See Environment interface Javadoc for details
Added Portlet implementations of relevant interfaces:
* DefaultPortletEnvironment
* PortletConfigPropertySource, PortletContextPropertySource
* Integrated each appropriately throughout Portlet app contexts
Added protected 'createEnvironment()' method to AbstractApplicationContext
Subclasses can override at will to supply a custom Environment
implementation. In practice throughout the framework, this is how
Web- and Portlet-related ApplicationContexts override use of the
DefaultEnvironment and swap in DefaultWebEnvironment or
DefaultPortletEnvironment as appropriate.
Introduced "stub-and-replace" behavior for Servlet- and Portlet-based
PropertySource implementations
Allows for early registration and ordering of the stub, then
replacement with actual backing object at refresh() time.
Added AbstractApplicationContext.initPropertySources() method to
support stub-and-replace behavior. Called from within existing
prepareRefresh() method so as to avoid impact with
ApplicationContext implementations that copy and modify AAC's
refresh() method (e.g.: Spring DM).
Added methods to WebApplicationContextUtils and
PortletApplicationContextUtils to support stub-and-replace behavior
Added comprehensive Javadoc for all new or modified types and members
Added XSD documentation for all new or modified elements and attributes
Including nested <beans>, <beans profile="..."/>, and changes for
certain attributes type from xsd:IDREF to xsd:string
Improved fix for detecting non-file based Resources in
PropertiesLoaderSupport (SPR-7547, SPR-7552)
Technically unrelated to environment work, but grouped in with
this changeset for convenience.
Deprecated (removed) context:property-placeholder
'system-properties-mode' attribute from spring-context-3.1.xsd
Functionality is preserved for those using schemas up to and including
spring-context-3.0. For 3.1, system-properties-mode is no longer
supported as it conflicts with the idea of managing a set of property
sources within the context's Environment object. See Javadoc in
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, AbstractPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
and PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer for details.
Introduced CollectionUtils.toArray(Enumeration<E>, A[])
Work items remaining for 3.1 M2:
Consider repackaging PropertySource* types; eliminate internal use
of SystemPropertyUtils and deprecate
Further work on composition of Environment interface; consider
repurposing existing PlaceholderResolver interface to obviate need
for resolve[Required]Placeholder() methods currently in Environment.
Ensure configurability of placeholder prefix, suffix, and value
separator when working against an AbstractPropertyResolver
Add JNDI-based Environment / PropertySource implementatinos
Consider support for @Profile at the @Bean level
Provide consistent logging for the entire property resolution
lifecycle; consider issuing all such messages against a dedicated
logger with a single category.
Add reference documentation to cover the featureset.
