Update `ListableBeanFactory` and `BeanFactoryUtils` to add the missing
`getBeanNamesForType` methods that accept a `ResolvableType` rather
than a `Class`.
This completes the work started in 778a01943b.
Closes gh-23335
This covers ApplicationListener generics in factory method return types in particular but also allows for programmatic setTargetType hints.
Closes gh-23178
@CacheEvict.beforeInvocation suggests immediate execution even in case of transactional caches. The cache interceptor delegates to the new evictIfPresent/invalidate operations now which imply immediate execution semantics (and also provide an indication for whether any corresponding entries where present when programmatically called).
Closes gh-23192
Prior to this commit, it was unclear that an invocation of getCache()
might potentially create a new Cache.
This commit updates the Javadoc to point out that concrete CacheManager
implementations may choose to create a new Cache at runtime if the Cache
does not already exist.
Closes gh-23193
Update `FormatterRegistry` with `addPrinter` and `addParser` methods
that can be used to register Printer or Parser implementations in a
similar way to the existing `addFormatter` method.
Closes gh-23110
Deprecate the public `StandardMetadata` constructors to make it clearer
that these classes should not be instantiated directly. A new
`AnnotationMetadata.introspect` factory method has been added which
can now be used to obtain instances.
This change will allow use to make the constructors package private
and drop the `nestedAnnotationsAsMap` parameter in a future release.
Closes gh-22906
Includes bringing registerBean constructor-vararg variants up to GenericApplicationContext, making AnnotationConfigApplicationContext a straightforward subclass with a single template method to override.
