Prior to this commit, the ConversionService failed to convert a primitive
array (such as int[]) to an Object[] due to an error in the logic in
ArrayToArrayConverter.
This commit addresses this by augmenting the "can bypass conversion"
check in ArrayToArrayConverter to ensure that the supplied source object
is an instance of the target type (i.e., that the source array can be
cast to the target type array without conversion).

A bug has existed in Spring's MergedAnnotations support since it was
introduced in Spring Framework 5.2. Specifically, if the
MergedAnnotations API is used to search for annotations with "standard
repeatable annotation" support enabled (which is the default), it's
possible to search for a repeatable annotation but not for the
repeatable annotation's container annotation.
The reason is that MergedAnnotationFinder.process(Object, int, Object,
Annotation) does not process the container annotation and instead only
processes the "contained" annotations, which prevents a container
annotation from being included in search results.
In #29685, we fixed a bug that prevented the MergedAnnotations support
from recognizing an annotation as a container if the container
annotation declares attributes other than the required `value`
attribute. As a consequence of that bug fix, since Spring Framework
5.3.25, the MergedAnnotations infrastructure considers such an
annotation a container, and due to the aforementioned bug the container
is no longer processed, which results in a regression in behavior for
annotation searches for such a container annotation.
This commit addresses the original bug as well as the regression by
processing container annotations in addition to the contained
repeatable annotations.

Prior to this commit, MethodIntrospector failed to properly detect
bridge methods for subsequent invocations of selectMethods() with the
same targetType and MetadataLookup, if such subsequent invocations
occurred after the ApplicationContext had been refreshed.
The reason this occurs is due to the following.
- Class#getDeclaredMethods() always returns "child copies" of the
underlying Method instances -- which means that `equals()` should be
used instead of `==` whenever the compared Method instances can come
from different sources (such as the static caches mentioned below).
- BridgeMethodResolver caches resolved bridge methods in a static cache
-- which is never cleared.
- ReflectionUtils caches declared methods in a static cache
-- which gets cleared when an ApplicationContext is refreshed.
Consequently, if you attempt to load an ApplicationContext twice in the
same ClassLoader, the second attempt uses the existing, populated cache
for bridged methods but a cleared, empty cache for declared methods.
This results in new invocations of Class#getDeclaredMethods(), and
identity checks with `==` then fail to detect equivalent bridge methods.
This commit addresses this by additionally comparing bridge methods
using `equals()` in MethodIntrospector.selectMethods().
Note that the `==` checks remain in place as an optimization for when
`equals()` is unnecessary.

This notably enables Jackson to reflectively call a user-provided
builder class and invoke its declared methods (setters and build) in
a native app.

To improve consistency and avoid confusion regarding primitive types
and their wrapper types, this commit ensures that we always use class
literals for primitive types.
For example, instead of using the `Void.TYPE` constant, we now
consistently use `void.class`.
Prior to this commit, the alias resolution error message in
SimpleAliasRegistry was misleading.
When a resolution conflict is detected, the IllegalStateException
thrown by resolveAliases(...) now states that the resolved alias is
already registered for an `existingName` instead of the `registeredName`.
See gh-31353
Closes gh-32025
This commit improves SimpleAliasRegistryTests in the following ways.
- Some existing methods have been split up into smaller test methods
which focus on a single use case.
- The use of Mockito mocks has been replaced by a hand-crafted
StubStringValueResolver which ensures that existing aliases and names
are not accidentally replaced by null thereby removing their removing
there mappings inadvertently.
- Several test methods now include inline comments that document the
current state of the aliasMap in order to clarify what is happening
behind the scenes in the ConcurrentHashMap.
- Several test methods warn that the current expectations are based on
ConcurrentHashMap iteration order!
- New @ParameterizedTest which is currently @Disabled but
demonstrates that complex use cases involving placeholder replacement
can be supported consistently -- regardless of the values of the
aliases involved -- but only if alias registration order is honored.

This is able to resolve the original method even if no bridge method has been generated at the same class hierarchy level (a known difference between the Eclipse compiler and regular javac).

This commit updates the JSON writers to use a deterministic order for
arrays. Previously, the order could change with the same content,
breaking caching.

This commit introduces ValueCodeGenerator and its Delegate interface
as a way to generate the code for a particular value. Implementations
in spring-core provides support for common value types such a String,
primitives, Collections, etc.
Additional implementations are provided for code generation of bean
definition property values.
Closes gh-28999
Prior to this commit, the AnnotationsScanner used in the
MergedAnnotations infrastructure found duplicate annotations on methods
within multi-level interface hierarchies.
This commit addresses this issue by scanning methods at a given level
in the interface hierarchy using ReflectionUtils#getDeclaredMethods
instead of Class#getMethods, since the latter includes public methods
declared in super-interfaces which will anyway be scanned when
processing super-interfaces recursively.
Closes gh-31803
