Update `BeanDefinitionPropertiesCodeGenerator` so that hints are
generated for property values. This restores functionality that was
inadvertently removed during refactoring.
See gh-28414
Update `RegisteredBean` bean class detection to not consider
singletons. Prior to this commit, any beans that had been instantiated
could return the wrong class, especially if they were implemented using
a lambda.
See gh-28414
Add resolver utilities that can be used to perform programmatic
autowiring of fields, methods, constructors and factory methods.
The resolvers are designed to work in an AOT environment and
allows the actual injection to be performed using functional
interfaces. This allows leaner images to be created since
`introspection` hints are required rather than full `invocation`
hints.
The resolvers also provide a reflection based fallback that can
used when the functional interface cannot work. For example, a
reflection based solution is required for private fields, methods
and constructors.
See gh-28414
Add a new `InstanceSupplier` interface that can be used as an
alternative to a regular bean `Supplier` when details about the
bean being supplied are required to instantiate it. The new
interface accepts a `RegisteredBean` instance which provides
access to the bean name, the bean factory creating the bean
and the bean definition.
This interface is primarily designed to allow AOT generated code
to autowire dependencies into the instance.
See gh-28414
Update `SpringFactoriesLoader` so that it can load files from
arbitrary locations. An instance of the loader class itself is now
returned from static factory methods that accept different
locations.
The recent `ArgumentResolver` and `FailureHandler` `loadFactories`
variants are now no longer available as static methods. They are
still available as instance methods.
The `loadFactories` static method remains to provide
back-compatibility with Spring Framework 5.x
See gh-28416
With a Java 8 baseline in place for quite some time now, it no longer
makes sense to refer to features such as annotations as "Java 5
annotations".
This commit also removes old `Tiger*Tests` classes, thereby avoiding
duplicate execution of various tests.
Since Spring Framework 5.3, BeanUtils.copyProperties() honors generics
in the source and target property types (see gh-24187); however, this
refinement of the contract was not properly documented prior to this
commit. In addition, the refinement can be a breaking change for users
who were relying on the previous unreliable behavior.
This commit therefore clarifies the behavior for generics support in
BeanUtils.copyProperties() and introduces a table of example matches
and mismatches when generics are involved.
Closes gh-27259
This commit updates InitDestroyBeanPostProcessor so that it contributes
init or destroy method names to the `RootBeanDefinition`. This is then
used by the generator to provide these methods to the optimized AOT
context.
Invocation of those init methods still happen using reflection so
dedicated hints are contributed for them.
Closes gh-28151
This commit updates InjectionGenerator to request a resolved attribute
with a dedicated type if multiple methods with the same name and the
same number of arguments exist. This was previously done already for
constructors and this commit harmonizes the algorithms to methods as
well
Closes gh-28154
