Including ScriptEvaluator implementations for JSR-223, Groovy and BeanShell. BeanShell consistently receives the bean ClassLoader now. Also revised ScriptFactory and its implementations for varargs.
Issue: SPR-11007
Introduce base class AbstractMethodMessageHandler for
HandlerMethod-based message handling.
Add MessageCondition interface for mapping conditions to messages
with support for combining type- and method-level annotation
conditions, the ability to match conditions to messages, and also
comparing matches to select the best match.
Issue: SPR-11024
Support repeatable @PropertySource annotations in Java 8 and add
@PropertySources container annotation for Java 6/7. Also add an
ignoreResourceNotFound attribute to @PropertySource allowing missing
property resources to be silently ignored.
This commit also introduces some generally useful methods to
AnnotationUtils for working with @Repeatable annotations.
Issue: SPR-8371
Ensure that property source locations are processed in the same order
regardless if the 'name' attribute is set or not.
Prior to this commit multiple locations from a `@PropertySource` with
a name were added to a `CompositePropertySource` in such a way that
the first location would take precedence. This has now been reversed
for consistence with unnamed `@PropertySource`s
Issue: SPR-10820
Update `AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster` to support `EventObjects`
with a null source (which can happen if they have been serialized).
Issue: SPR-10945
Includes revisions of MethodParameter and DependencyDescriptor (in particular towards a reference to the containing class). Also refines several ResolvableType method signatures.
Issue: SPR-9965
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
At the same time, dropped GlassFish 1/2 support from GlassFishLoadTimeWeaver and redesigned it to be as analogous to TomcatLoadTimeWeaver as possible.
Issue: SPR-10788
Update `CacheAspectSupport` to expand any var-arg parameters before
calling `KeyGenerator` implementations. Prior to this commit var-args
would be passed to `KeyGenerator` implementations as a nested array,
often causing the same key to be generated regardless of the arguments.
Issue: SPR-10870
Extended DefaultAopProxyFactory to create Objenesis based proxies if the
library is on the classpath. This allows classes without a default
constructor being CGLib proxied. We're now falling back to original CGLib
based behavior in case the proxy creation using Objenesis fails.
Objenesis 2.0 is now inlined into spring-core to avoid interfering with
other Objenesis versions on the classpath.
Issue: SPR-10594
Also, DefaultListableBeanFactory logs a warning when overriding an application definition with a framework-generated definition now, which is expected to be an accident.
Issue: SPR-10607
We're using the same subtle PriorityOrdered/Ordered/non-ordered separation as for regular BeanFactoryPostProcessors and BeanPostProcessors now. Additionally, we're re-detecting BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor bean names after every invocation phase, up until no further ones appear.
Issue: SPR-10630
This turned into a rather huge affair since it led to the introduction of a new AutowireCandidateResolver implementation in the spring-context module. That ACR impl is now being set through AnnotationConfigUtils; GenericApplicationContext and co do not set a default QualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver anymore (which has always been a smell anyway). At the same time, dependency ordering has moved from AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor to DefaultListableBeanFactory itself through a "dependencyComparator" strategy, applying to constructor dependencies and lazy resolution proxies as well.
Issue: SPR-10353
Fix @Condition evaluation to also consider super classes for both
@Configuration classes and regular @Components. This change allows
@Conditional annotations to be inherited and restores the previous
behavior of @Profile.
Issue: SPR-10840
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.
