Before this change HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler's were invoked in a
specific order (type-based, annotation-based, custom). However handlers
that deal with asynchronous return value handling need to always be
considered first. This affects custom handlers in particular since they
are normally ordered last.
This change introduces an AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler
sub-interface with a single method to determine if the return value is
asynchronous and if it is to look for a matching handler only among
those that are of type AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler.

Before this change a missing path variable value resulted in a 400
error where in fact the error is due to a mismatch between the
declared @PathVariable and the URI template, i.e. a 500 error.
This change introduced a MissingPathVariableException as a sub-class
of ServletRequestBindingException (the exception previously thrown)
and results in a response status code of 500 by default.

Prior to this change, the `"Last-Modified"` and "`Etag`" support had
been improved with SPR-11324: HTTP response headers are now
automatically added for conditional requests and more.
This commit fixes the format of the "`Last-Modified`" and "`ETag`"
values, which were using an epoch timestamp rather than an HTTP-date
format defined in RFC 7231 section 7.1.1.1.
Also, Conditional responses are only applied when the given response
applies, i.e. when it has an compatible HTTP status (2xx).

This commit introduces support for RFC 7239: Forwarded HTTP Extension in
the UriComponentsBuilder. Unfortunately, RFC 7239 is not a complete
replacement for the X-Forwarded-* headers: specifically, there is not
direct replacement for X-Forwarded-Port. The JIRA contains more
information.

This commit introduces first-class support for aliases for annotation
attributes. Specifically, this commit introduces a new @AliasFor
annotation that can be used to declare a pair of aliased attributes
within a single annotation or an alias from an attribute in a custom
composed annotation to an attribute in a meta-annotation.
To support @AliasFor within annotation instances, AnnotationUtils has
been overhauled to "synthesize" any annotations returned by "get" and
"find" searches. A SynthesizedAnnotation is an annotation that is
wrapped in a JDK dynamic proxy which provides run-time support for
@AliasFor semantics. SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler is the
actual handler behind the proxy.
In addition, the contract for @AliasFor is fully validated, and an
AnnotationConfigurationException is thrown in case invalid
configuration is detected.
For example, @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module is now
declared as follows:
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor(attribute = "locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor(attribute = "value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}
The following annotations and their related support classes have been
modified to use @AliasFor.
- @ManagedResource
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ActiveProfiles
- @TestExecutionListeners
- @TestPropertySource
- @Sql
- @ControllerAdvice
- @RequestMapping
Similarly, support for AnnotationAttributes has been reworked to
support @AliasFor as well. This allows for fine-grained control over
exactly which attributes are overridden within an annotation hierarchy.
In fact, it is now possible to declare an alias for the 'value'
attribute of a meta-annotation.
For example, given the revised declaration of @ContextConfiguration
above, one can now develop a composed annotation with a custom
attribute override as follows.
@ContextConfiguration
public @interface MyTestConfig {
@AliasFor(
annotation = ContextConfiguration.class,
attribute = "locations"
)
String[] xmlFiles();
// ...
}
Consequently, the following are functionally equivalent.
- @MyTestConfig(xmlFiles = "test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration("test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration(locations = "test.xml").

`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`

This commit introduces support for OkHttp
(http://square.github.io/okhttp/) as a backing implementation for
ClientHttpRequestFactory and AsyncClientHttpRequestFactory.
Issue: SPR-12893
After this change CorsProcessor has a single processRequest method and
it also explicitly deals with a null CorsConfiguration, which for
pre-flight requests results in a rejection while for simple requests
results in no CORS headers added.
The AbstractHandlerMapping now uses a LinkedHashMap to preserve the
order in which global patterns are provided.
This commit adds JavaConfig based global CORS configuration
capabilities to Spring MVC. It is now possible to specify
multiple CORS configurations, each mapped on a path pattern,
by overriding
WebMvcConfigurerAdapter#configureCrossOrigin(CrossOriginConfigurer).
It is also possible to combine global and @CrossOrigin based
CORS configuration.
Issue: SPR-12933
This change introduces a strategy for expanding a URI template into a
URI and makes it a property of the RestTemplate and AsyncRestTemplate
so that they can be pre-configured with such a strategy.
The DefaultUriTemplateHandler relies on UriComponentsBuilder internally
and provides functionality equivalent to using the UriTemplate.
A DefaultUriTemplateHandler can also be configured to parse the path
of a URI template into path segments in order to allow expanding URI
variables according to path segment encoding rules.
