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.

Also, StandardReflectionParameterNameDiscoverer calls "Parameter.isNamePresent()" now to return null (and pass on to the next discoverer) if no JDK 8 parameters are available. Note that this requires OpenJDK 8 b100 or higher to compile now.

This change should be the final piece in the puzzle to let SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor's predictBeanType predict a FactoryBean-produced type, effectively as a semantic alternative to its postProcessBeforeInstantiation-related role.

In particular, avoid accidental usage of ASM for core JDK types - which will fail in case of a new bytecode version in the JDK, even if the application itself has been compiled with an earlier bytecode target.
Issue: SPR-10292
Driven by the need for implementing Bean Validation 1.1's "releaseInstance" method in SpringConstraintValidatorFactory, as a direct counterpart to the use of AutowireCapableBeanFactory's "createBean(Class)" in "getInstance".

Update AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.getTypeForFactoryBean to
check AbstractBeanDefinition.hasBeanClass() before calling
getBeanClass(). The protects against a 'Bean class name [<name>] has
not been resolved into an actual Class' IllegalStateException.
Issue: SPR-10304
This change means that we effectively revert SPR-8954's code change in favor of the isFactoryBean implementation simply relying on predictBeanType to sort it out, filtering a post-processed predictedType for FactoryBean applicability.

Issue: SPR-9143
Update DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBean(Class<?> beanClass) to
consider the 'primary' attribute of bean definitions. This makes
getBean() behave in the same way as autowiring.
Issue: SPR-7854
Also introduces consistent use of getBean(Class) for similar use cases across the framework, accepting a locally unique target bean even if further matching beans would be available in parent contexts (in contrast to BeanFactoryUtils.beanOfType's behavior).
Issue: SPR-10160
This change resolves a specific issue with processing
java.math.BigDecimal via ExtendedBeanInfo. BigDecimal has a particular
constellation of #setScale methods that, prior to this change, had the
potential to cause ExtendedBeanInfo to throw an IntrospectionException
depending on the order in which the methods were processed.
Because JDK 7 no longer returns deterministic results from
Class#getDeclaredMethods, it became a genuine possibility - indeed a
statistical certainty that the 'wrong' setScale method handling order
happens sooner or later. Typically one could observe this failure once
out of every four test runs.
This commit introduces deterministic method ordering of all discovered
non-void returning write methods in such a way that solves the problem
for BigDecimal as well as for any other class having a similar method
arrangement.
Also:
- Remove unnecessary cast
- Pass no method information to PropertyDescriptor superclasses when
invoking super(...). This ensures that any 'type mismatch'
IntrospectionExceptions are handled locally in ExtendedBeanInfo and
its Simple* PropertyDescriptor variants where we have full control.
