In AnnotatedElementUtils, all methods pertaining to merging annotation
attributes have been renamed to "getMerged*()" and "findMerged*()"
accordingly. Existing methods such as getAnnotationAttributes(..) have
been deprecated in favor of the more descriptive "merged" variants.
This aligns the naming conventions in AnnotatedElementUtils with those
already present in AnnotationReadingVisitorUtils.
The use of "annotationType" as a variable name for the fully qualified
class name of an annotation type has been replaced with
"annotationName" in order to improve the readability and intent of the
code base.
In MetaAnnotationUtils.AnnotationDescriptor, getMergedAnnotation() has
been renamed to synthesizeAnnotation(), and the method is now
overridden in UntypedAnnotationDescriptor to always throw an
UnsupportedOperationException in order to avoid potential run-time
ClassCastExceptions.
Issue: SPR-11511
Commit 3d86f15 added a lot of new feature in AbstractPropertyAccessor
shared by both DirectFieldAccessor and BeanWrapperImpl. This makes this
abstract class harder to implement for others having simpler use cases.
It turns that Spring Data has such use case; this commit split these new
features in a dedicated new base class, leaving AbstractPropertyAccessor
untouched.
Issue: SPR-12805
Previously, the binding may have to call the getter first to retrieve the
old value of a property before actually setting it. This was guarded by
a catch block that was accidentally removed in 3d86f15
Restore that catch block and add a test to cover it.
Issue: SPR-12805
`BeanWrapperImpl` and `DirectFieldAccessor` are two
`ConfigurablePropertyAccessor` implementations with different features
set.
This commit harmonizes the two implementations to use a common base class
that delegates the actual property handling to the sub-classes:
* `BeanWrapperImpl`: `PropertyDescriptor` and introspection utilities
* `DirectFieldAccessor`: reflection on `java.lang.Field`

Previously, a Bean implementing `AutoCloseable` (or `Closeable`) was
always destroyed regardless of its bean definition. In particular, the
documented way of disabling the destruction callback via an empty String
did not work.
AutoCloseable beans are now treated pretty much as any other bean: we
still use the presence of the interface to optimize the check of a
destroy method and we only auto-discover the method name to invoke if
the inferred mode is enabled.
Issue: SPR-13022
Covers ReflectionUtils.doWithMethods as well as affected annotation post-processors.
Includes an extension of MethodMetadata for the detection of @Bean default methods.

Previously, the `@Order` annotation was managed in an inconsistent way
when placed at the implementation level. For simple beans, it was
discovered properly but wasn't for beans requiring a proxy.
OrderComparator.SourceProvider now explicitly allows to return several
order sources; the default implementation returns not only the factory
method (if any) but also the target class if it happens to be different
from the class of the bean.
Issue: SPR-12636
Previously, only indexed access for collections were supported. When
attempting to access the element of an array that had not the requested
size, the call would fail with an IndexOutOfBoundException
This commit harmonize the binding support so that the array is updated
according to the requested index if necessary.
Issue: SPR-12706
Provide an additional hook-point for YamlProcessor subclasses willing to
change how the Yaml instance is configured. Also expose the default
StrictMapAppenderConstructor so that they can compose a custom instance
with it.
