Prior to this commit, if null values were supplied for the
RepeatableContainers or AnnotationFilter arguments to `from()` factory
methods in MergedAnnotations, certain operations would eventually
result in a NullPointerException. This is to be expected; however, the
NullPointerException is often swallowed and only logged at INFO level
with an exception message similar to the following.
> Failed to introspect annotations on org.example.MyClass: NullPointerException
In such cases, the INFO log message is not helpful in diagnosing the
problem. Furthermore, since the exception is swallowed, the desired
operation (e.g., MergedAnnotations.stream(...)) simply returns no
results.
This commit improves the user experience by eagerly asserting non-null
preconditions for required arguments in MergedAnnotations.from()
factory methods.

Since Spring Framework 5.2, @RestControllerAdvice registered with
MockMvc when using MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup() has no longer been
properly supported if annotation attributes were declared in the
@RestControllerAdvice annotation. Prior to 5.2, this was not an issue.
The cause for this regression is two-fold.
1. Commit 50c257794f refactored
DefaultListableBeanFactory so that findAnnotationOnBean() supports
merged annotations; however, that commit did not refactor
StaticListableBeanFactory#findAnnotationOnBean() to support merged
annotations.
2. Commit 978adbdae7 refactored
ControllerAdviceBean so that a merged @ControllerAdvice annotation
is only looked up via ApplicationContext#findAnnotationOnBean().
The latter relies on the fact that findAnnotationOnBean() supports
merged annotations (e.g., @RestControllerAdvice as a merged instance of
@ControllerAdvice). Behind the scenes, MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup()
creates a StubWebApplicationContext which internally uses a
StubBeanFactory which extends StaticListableBeanFactory. Consequently,
since the implementation of findAnnotationOnBean() in
StaticListableBeanFactory was not updated to support merged annotations
like it was in DefaultListableBeanFactory, we only see this regression
with the standalone MockMvc support and not with MockMvc support for an
existing WebApplicationContext or with standard Spring applications
using an ApplicationContext that uses DefaultListableBeanFactory.
This commit fixes this regression by supporting merged annotations in
StaticListableBeanFactory#findAnnotationOnBean() as well.

Prior to this commit, StaticListableBeanFactory.isSingleton() returned
false for singleton beans unless they were created by a FactoryBean.
StaticListableBeanFactory.isSingleton() now properly returns true for
all beans not created by a FactoryBean.

Prior to this commit, if a value existed at the specified JSON path but
had an incompatible type, the AssertionError thrown contained a message
stating that the value did not exist (i.e., "No Value at JSON Path"),
which was not only misleading but also technically incorrect.
This commit fixes the error message for such use cases. For example, the
AssertionError thrown in such use cases now resembles the following.
At JSON path "$.name", value <Lisa> of type <java.lang.String> cannot
be converted to type <byte[]>

Prior to this commit, calling reset() on MockHttpServletResponse did not
reset the `charset` field to `false` which could result in the
"Content-Type" header containing `;charset=null` which in turn would
result in errors when parsing the "Content-Type" header.
This commit resets the charset field to `false` in
MockHttpServletResponse's reset() method to avoid such errors.
Closes gh-25501
PR gh-25429 brought it to our attention that there was a bug in
AnnotationScanner when using a non-null class filter that filtered out
classes; however, it turns out that there is no production code that
utilizes the package-private class filtering support.
This commit therefore removes all class filtering support from
AnnotationScanner since that functionality is effectively unused.
Closes gh-25477
Prior to this commit, scanning for annotations resulted in an infinite
loop when using the INHERITED_ANNOTATIONS search strategy and a class
filter that filters out visited classes.
This commit avoids an infinite loop in AnnotationsScanner's
processClassInheritedAnnotations(...) method by skipping the current
level of the class hierarchy when the current source class has been
filtered out.
Closes gh-25429
