Added dateFormatter, timeFormatter and dateTimeFormatter properties
to JodaTimeFormatterRegistrar allowing for custom global formatting.
DateTimeFormatterFactory can be used when configuring with XML.
Issue: SPR-7121
Dependency on Joda Time when using the @DateTimeFormat annotation is
now optional. If Joda Time is not present the JDK SimpleDateFormat
will be used to parse and print date patterns. If Joda time is
present it will always be used in preference to SimpleDateFormat.

Refactor ConfigurationClassParser to recursively find values from
all @Import annotations, combining them into a single unique set.
This change prevents ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrars from being
invoked twice.

In particular, the specified object name may use a placeholder for its domain part now, allowing for several instances of the MBean to be registered against the same MBeanServer from different applications.

This commit refactors changes introduced in 21760a8 as follows:
- Introduce top-level MessageCodeFormatter interface and
DefaultMessageCodesResolver#setMessageCodeFormatter property to allow
for user-defined message code formatting strategies
- Rename DefaultMessageCodesResolver.Style enum => DMCR.Format
- Refactor DefaultMessageCodesResolver.Format to implement the new
MessageCodeFormatter interface
The result is that users have convenient access to common formatting
strategies via the Format enum, while retaining the flexibility to
provide their own custom MessageCodeFormatter implementation if desired.
See DefaultMessageCodesResolverTests#shouldSupport*Format tests for
usage examples.
Issue: SPR-9707
Introduce new 'style' property to DefaultMessageCodesResolver allowing
for alternative message styles. Current styles are PREFIX_ERROR_CODE
and POSTFIX_ERROR_CODE. The default style retains existing behavior.

Prior to this commit, @EnableMBeanExport was declared in the
jmx.export.annotation package. This makes logical sense, but
nevertheless creates a package cycle, because @EnableMBeanExport depends
on MBeanExportConfiguration which in turn depends on context.annotation
types like @Configuration, @Bean, and @Role.
context.annotation.config.MBeanExportBeanDefinitionParser, on the other
hand already has dependencies on types in jmx.support. Together, this
means that a package cycle was introduced.
The solution to this is simple: move @EnableMBeanExport and friends from
jmx.export.annotation => context.annotation. This has been the strategy
for other @Enable annotations and for the same reasons. It also makes a
kind of logical sense: just like you find <context:mbean-export> and
<context:load-time-weaver> under the context: XML namespace, so too do
you find their @Enable* counterparts under the context.annotation
namespace.
Issue: SPR-8943
Add support for @EnableMBeanExport annotation allowing @Configuration
classes to easily export all MBeans and @ManagedResources from the
Spring application context. The annotation is functionally equivalent
to the XML <context:mbean-export/> element.

Reverted change for @Bean methods that declare FactoryBean as their return type: The effects of trying to create the FactoryBean to find out about its implementation type are too far-reaching. It's better to recommend declaring a specific return type in the method signature if you want the container to specifically react to your implementation type.
Issue: SPR-9857
Includes a change for factory methods that declare their return type as FactoryBean: When asked for a specific type match (e.g. LoadTimeWeaverAware), we do check early singleton instances as well (reusing the instances that we create for getObjectType checks). This is necessary in order to make @Bean method introspection as capable as XML bean definition introspection, even in case of the @Bean method using a generic FactoryBean declaration for its return type (instead of the FactoryBean impl class).
Issue: SPR-9857
Refactor ConfigurationClassEnhancer to allow cglib caching of
generated classes. Prior to this commit each enhanced @Configuration
class would consume permgen space when created.
The CallbackFilter and Callback Types are now defined as static final
members so that they can be shared by all enhancers. Only the
callbackInstances remain specific to a @Configuration class and
these are not used by cglib as part of the cache key.
Issue: SPR-9851
Aside from minor polishing, this change sets the "systemProperties" and "systemEnvironment" beans at each factory level as well.

These features require Java 6 or higher due to their dependency on the ResourceBundle.Control class. To some degree, ResourceBundleMessageSource catches up with ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource now. However, as noted in the javadoc, there are still severe limitations in the standard ResourceBundle class that justify an ongoing investment in our own ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource (based on the Spring resource abstraction, with manual parsing of properties files).
Issue: SPR-7392
LiveBeansView includes MBean exposure as well as Servlet exposure, with JSON as the initial output format. In order to identify an MBean per application, a new "getApplicationName()" method got introduced on the ApplicationContext interface, returning the Servlet container context path in case of a web application and defaulting to the empty String. MBean exposure can be driven by the "spring.liveBeansView.mbeanDomain" property, e.g. specifying "liveBeansView" as its value, leading to "liveBeansView:application=" or "liveBeansView:application=/myapp" style names for the per-application MBean.
Issue: SPR-9662
Prior to this change, @ComponentScan required the declaration of
exactly one of the #value, #basePackage or #basePackageClasses
attributes in order to determine which package(s) to scan.
This commit introduces support for base package inference, relaxing the
above requirement and falling back to scanning the package in which the
@ComponentScan-annotated class is declared.
Issue: SPR-9586
This commit avoids eager creation of Environment instances, favoring
delegation of already existing Environment objects where possible. For
example, FrameworkServlet creates an ApplicationContext; both require
a StandardServletEnvironment instance, and prior to this change, two
instances were created where one would suffice - indeed these two
instances may reasonably be expected to be the same. Now, the
FrameworkServlet defers creation of its Environment, allowing users to
supply a custom instance via its #setEnvironment method (e.g. within a
WebApplicationInitializer); the FrameworkServlet then takes care to
delegate that instance to the ApplicationContext created
in #createWebApplicationContext.
This behavior produces more consistent behavior with regard to
delegation of the environment, saves unnecessary cycles by avoiding
needless instantiation and calls to methods like
StandardServletEnvironment#initPropertySources and leads to better
logging output, as the user sees only one Environment created and
initialized when working with the FrameworkServlet/DispatcherServlet.
This commit also mirrors these changes across the corresponding
Portlet* classes.
Issue: SPR-9763
Prior to this change, AbstractApplicationContext#prepareBeanFactory
registered a bean named 'environment' once and only once within a given
ApplicationContext hierarchy. This worked fine with the expectation
that the Environment object is always delegated downward to children of
that hierarchy. However, with SPR-9444 and the introduction of
ConfigurableEnvironment#merge, this expectation was violated; each
member of an application context hierarchy now maintains its own
distinct Environment instance, which means that by extension that each
application context's underlying BeanFactory should have its own
'environment' bean pointing to that context's environment instance.
This problem could manifest in getting the wrong environment instance
when calling #getBean(Environment) or when @Autowiring an Environment
instance, for example into a @Configuration class. As reported in
SPR-9756, this could result in false negative property lookups or
incorrect results when checking whether a profile is active.
This commit ensures that every bean factory in an application
hierarchy has an 'environment' bean referring to the object returned
from the enclosing ApplicationContext#getEnvironment method.

CGLIB 3 has been released in order to depend on ASM 4, which Spring now
depends on internally (see previous commit).
This commit eliminates spring-beans' optional dependency on cglib-nodep
v2.2 and instead repackages net.sf.cglib => org.springframework.cglib
much in the same way we have historically done with ASM.
This change is beneficial to users in several ways:
- Eliminates the need to manually add CGLIB to the application
classpath; especially important for the growing number of
@Configuration class users. Java-based configuration functionality,
along with proxy-target-class and method injection features now
work 'out of the box' in Spring 3.2.
- Eliminates the possibility of conflicts with other libraries that
may dependend on differing versions of CGLIB, e.g. Hibernate
3.3.1.ga and its dependency on CGLIB 2.1.3 would easily cause a
conflict if the application were depending on CGLIB 3 for
Spring-related purposes.
- Picks up CGLIB 3's changes to support ASM 4, meaning that CGLIB is
that much less likely to work well in a Java 7 environment due to
ASM 4's support for transforming classes with invokedynamic
bytecode instructions.
On CGLIB and ASM:
CGLIB's own dependency on ASM is also transformed along the way to
depend on Spring's repackaged org.springframework.asm, primarily to
eliminate unnecessary duplication of ASM classfiles in spring-core and
in the process save around 100K in the final spring-core JAR file size.
It is coincidental that spring-core and CGLIB currently depend on the
exact same version of ASM (4.0), but it is also unlikely to change any
time soon. If this change does occur and versions of ASM drift, then
the size optimization mentioned above will have to be abandoned. This
would have no compatibility impact, however, so this is a reasonable
solution now and for the forseeable future.
On a mysterious NoClassDefFoundError:
During the upgrade to CGLIB 3.0, Spring test cases began failing due to
NoClassDefFoundErrors being thrown from CGLIB's DebuggingClassWriter
regarding its use of asm-util's TraceClassVisitor type. previous
versions of cglib-nodep, particularly 2.2, did not cause this behavior,
even though cglib-nodep has never actually repackaged and bundled
asm-util classes. The reason for these NoClassDefFoundErrors occurring
now is still not fully understood, but appears to be due to subtle JVM
bytecode preverification rules. The hypothesis is that due to minor
changes in DebuggingClassWriter such as additional casts, access to
instance variables declared in the superclass, and indeed a change in
the superclass hierarchy, preverification may be kicking in on the
toByteArray method body, at which point the reference to the missing
TraceClassVisitor type is noticed and the NCDFE is thrown. For this
reason, a dummy implementation of TraceClassVisitor has been added to
spring-core in the org.springframework.asm.util package. This class
simply ensures that Spring's own tests never result in the NCDFE
described above, and more importantly that Spring's users never
encounter the same.
Other changes include:
- rename package-private Cglib2AopProxy => CglibAopProxy
- eliminate all 'cglibAvailable' checks, warnings and errors
- eliminate all 'CGLIB2' language in favor of 'CGLIB'
- eliminate all mention in reference and java docs of needing to add
cglib(-nodep) to one's application classpath
