Prior to this change, Spring's @Async annotation support was tied to a
single AsyncTaskExecutor bean, meaning that all methods marked with
@Async were forced to use the same executor. This is an undesirable
limitation, given that certain methods may have different priorities,
etc. This leads to the need to (optionally) qualify which executor
should handle each method.
This is similar to the way that Spring's @Transactional annotation was
originally tied to a single PlatformTransactionManager, but in Spring
3.0 was enhanced to allow for a qualifier via the #value attribute, e.g.
@Transactional(ptm1)
public void m() { ... }
where ptm1 is either the name of a PlatformTransactionManager bean or
a qualifier value associated with a PlatformTransactionManager bean,
e.g. via the <qualifier> element in XML or the @Qualifier annotation.
This commit introduces the same approach to @Async and its relationship
to underlying executor beans. As always, the following syntax remains
supported
@Async
public void m() { ... }
indicating that calls to #m will be delegated to the default executor,
i.e. the executor provided to
<task:annotation-driven executor=.../>
or the executor specified when authoring a @Configuration class that
implements AsyncConfigurer and its #getAsyncExecutor method.
However, it now also possible to qualify which executor should be used
on a method-by-method basis, e.g.
@Async(e1)
public void m() { ... }
indicating that calls to #m will be delegated to the executor bean
named or otherwise qualified as e1. Unlike the default executor
which is specified up front at configuration time as described above,
the e1 executor bean is looked up within the container on the first
execution of #m and then cached in association with that method for the
lifetime of the container.
Class-level use of Async#value behaves as expected, indicating that all
methods within the annotated class should be executed with the named
executor. In the case of both method- and class-level annotations, any
method-level #value overrides any class level #value.
This commit introduces the following major changes:
- Add @Async#value attribute for executor qualification
- Introduce AsyncExecutionAspectSupport as a common base class for
both MethodInterceptor- and AspectJ-based async aspects. This base
class provides common structure for specifying the default executor
(#setExecutor) as well as logic for determining (and caching) which
executor should execute a given method (#determineAsyncExecutor) and
an abstract method to allow subclasses to provide specific strategies
for executor qualification (#getExecutorQualifier).
- Introduce AnnotationAsyncExecutionInterceptor as a specialization of
the existing AsyncExecutionInterceptor to allow for introspection of
the @Async annotation and its #value attribute for a given method.
Note that this new subclass was necessary for packaging reasons -
the original AsyncExecutionInterceptor lives in
org.springframework.aop and therefore does not have visibility to
the @Async annotation in org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.
This new subclass replaces usage of AsyncExecutionInterceptor
throughout the framework, though the latter remains usable and
undeprecated for compatibility with any existing third-party
extensions.
- Add documentation to spring-task-3.2.xsd and reference manual
explaining @Async executor qualification
- Add tests covering all new functionality
Note that the public API of all affected components remains backward-
compatible.

In anticipation of substantive changes required to implement @Async
executor qualification, the following updates have been made to the
components and infrastructure supporting @Async functionality:
- Fix trailing whitespace and indentation errors
- Fix generics warnings
- Add Javadoc where missing, update to use {@code} tags, etc.
- Avoid NPE in AopUtils#canApply
- Organize imports to follow conventions
- Remove System.out.println statements from tests
- Correct various punctuation and grammar problems

@EnableSpringConfigured and its @Import'ed
SpringConfiguredConfiguration @Configuration class inadvertently
established a package cycle between beans.factory.aspectj and
context.annotation due to SpringConfiguredConfiguration's
dependency on annotations such as @Configuration, @Bean and @Role.
This commit fixes this architecture bug by moving
@EnableSpringConfigured and SpringConfiguredConfiguration from the
beans.factory.aspectj package to the context.annotation package where
they belong.
This change is assumed to be very low impact as @EnableSpringConfigured
was introduced in 3.1.0 and relocation is happening as quickly as
possible in 3.1.2. @EnableSpringConfigured is assumed to be infrequently
used at this point, and for those that are the migration path
is straightforward. When upgrading from Spring 3.1.0 or 3.1.1, update
import statements in any affected @Configuration classes to reflect the
new packaging.
Backporter's note: this change causes Bundlor warnings in
org.springframework.aspect as its manifest now "imports and exports the
package org.springframework.context.annotation". To 'solve' this
problem, `fail.on.warnings=false` has been added to build.properties.
This means that future Bundlor-based warnings may go unnoticed.

The spring-aspects Maven pom had an incorrect compile-scoped dependence
on spring-test. In fact, spring-aspects only uses spring-test in its
unit tests. The pom has been updated accordingly, meaning that use
of spring-aspects in Maven-based applications will no longer require
spring-test on the classpath at runtime.
ivy.xml metadata did not need updating, as it was already correct.
This change is only necessary on the 3.1.x line; in 3.2.x (master) Maven
poms are generated automatically from Gradle dependency metadata, which
is also already correct.

Prior to this change, the spring-cache XSD allowed a 'key-generator'
attribute, but it was not actually parsed by AnnotationDrivenCacheBDP.
This commit adds the parsing logic as originally intended and the test
to prove it.
Issue: SPR-8939
Prior to this change, roughly 5% (~300 out of 6000+) of files under the
source tree had CRLF line endings as opposed to the majority which have
LF endings.
This change normalizes these files to LF for consistency going forward.
Command used:
$ git ls-files | xargs file | grep CRLF | cut -d":" -f1 | xargs dos2unix
Issue: SPR-5608
Equivalent to <context:spring-configured/>.
Also update @EnableLoadTimeWeaving Javadoc and spring-configured XSD
documentation to reflect.
Issue: SPR-7888
- removed generics from Cache/CacheManager (they add no value since it's an SPI not API)
+ update docs and tests
+ renamed ConcurrentCacheFactoryBean to ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean
Introduce @EnableAsync#order
AsyncAnnotationBeanPostProcessor's 'order' property is now mutable;
@EnableAsync's 'order()' attribute allows for setting it, but must
have a default value, thus uses the new Ordered#NOT_ORDERED
constant - a reserved negative number very unlikely to be otherwise
used that may be interpreted as 'not ordered', useful in annotation
defaulting scenarios where null is not an option.
Introduce first working cut of AsyncConfiguration
Remove AsyncCapability
