Prior to this commit, the resource handler serving static resources for
Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux would always look at the
`Resource#lastModified` information, derive the `"Last-Modified"` HTTP
response header and support HTTP conditional requests with that
information.
In some cases, builds or packaging tools choose to set this last
modification date to a static date in the past. This allows tools to
have reproducible builds or to leverage caching given the static
resources content didn't change.
This can lead to problems where this static date (e.g. "1980-01-01") is
used literally in HTTP responses and will make the HTTP caching
mechanism counter-productive: the content of the resources changed, but
the application insists on saying it didn't change since the 80s...
This commit adds a new configuration option to disable this support -
there is no way to automatically discard those dates: there is no
standard for that and many don't use he "EPOCH 0 date" as it can lead to
compatibility issues with different OSes.
Closes gh-25845
Prior to this commit, error handlers in the WebMvc.fn and WebFlux.fn
router function builders had to be registered in an unintuitive, reverse
order, due to the filter chain composition model used.
This commit reverses the error handler order, so that more specific
error handlers can come before generic ones.

The exchange() method is now deprecated because it is not safe for
general use but that doesn't apply to the WebTestClient because it
exposes a different higher level API for response handling that
ensures the response is consumed. Nevertheless WebTestClient cannot
call WebClient.exchange() any more.
To fix this WebTestClient no longer delegates to WebClient and thus
gains direct access to the underlying ExchangeFunction. This is
not a big deal because WebClient and WebTestClient do the same
only when it comes to gathering builder options and request input.
See gh-25751
This commit makes sure that exceptions emitted by WebClient are wrapped
by WebClientExceptions:
- Exceptions emitted by the ClientHttpConnector are wrapped in a new
WebClientRequestException.
- Exceptions emitted after a response is received are wrapped in a
WebClientResponseException
Closes gh-23842
This commit makes several changes in both WebMvc.fn as well as
WebFlux.fn.
- ServerRequest now exposes a RequestPath through requestPath(), and
pathContainer() has been deprecated.
- The PathPredicate and PathResourceLookupFunction now respects this
RequestPath's pathInApplication() in their path-related
functionality.
- When nesting, the PathPredicate now appends the matched part of the
path to the current context path, instead of removing the matched
part (which was done previously). This has the same result: the
matched part is gone, but now the full path stays the same.
Closes gh-25270
Remove convenience Map that is to avoid. The only downside is that
getHandlerMethods requires a transformation but that should not be used frequently.
See gh-22961
This commit introduces a way to change the PathPatternParser used in
PathPredicates, by way of a ChangePathPatternParserVisitor. This
visitor is used by both WebFluxConfigurationSupport and
WebMvcConfigurationSupport to make sure the configured parser is used.
Closes gh-23236
This commit introduces the DefaultMultipartMessageReader, a fully
reactive multipart parser without third party dependencies.
An earlier version of this code was introduced in fb642ce, but removed
again in 77c24aa because of buffering issues.
Closes gh-21659
List<T> support was added relatively late, incorrectly decoding each
part to T which means no way to decode a single part to List<T> and
thatis the most common case (vs multipart parts with the same name).
This behavior was further misaligned with Spring MVC as well as with
the behavior for T[].
Closes gh-22973
Prior to this commit, if attributes were configured in the builder
returned by `ServerRequest.from(...)`, those attributes were not
available in the `ServerRequest` built by the builder. In addition, any
attributes in the original `ServerRequest` supplied to
`ServerRequest.from(...)` were also ignored.
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that the attributes
configured via DefaultServerRequestBuilder are used as the attributes
in the resulting `ServerRequest`.
This commit also polishes the Javadoc in `ServerRequest` and
`ClientResponse` and avoids the use of lambda expressions in the
constructors for `DefaultServerRequestBuilder` and
`DefaultClientResponseBuilder`.
Closes gh-25106
Prior to this commit, the `VersionResourceResolver` implementations
would write a strong ETag HTTP response header with the resolved version
of the resource (the actual value depending on the chosen strategy).
This approach doesn't work well when combined with HTTP compression.
Web servers disable HTTP response copression in the presence of strong
ETags since mutating the response body would break the contract.
This commit changes this semantic and ensures that weak ETags are used
instead.
Closes gh-24898
