This commit implements StringToRegexConverter in Java
in order to avoid circular dependencies between Java
and Kotlin codes that can break IDE support, and for
consistency with the rest of the codebase.
See gh-24311
This commit optimizes ClassUtils#getMostSpecificMethod which is
a method frequently invoked in typical Spring applications.
It refines ClassUtils#isOverridable by considering static and
final modifiers as non overridable and optimizes its implementation.
Closes gh-30272
Since an annotation cannot be extended in Java, there is no need to use
the INHERITED_ANNOTATIONS SearchStrategy to search for meta-annotations
on an annotation.
Prior to this commit, there was an issue with the semantics of property
source overrides. Specifically, a @PropertySource annotation present as
a meta-annotation on a @Configuration class was registered with higher
precedence than a @PropertySource annotation declared closer to (or
directly on) the @Configuration class. Consequently, there was no way
for a "local" @PropertySource annotation to override properties
registered via @PropertySource as a meta-annotation.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing a new overloaded
getMergedRepeatableAnnotationAttributes() variant in
AnnotatedTypeMetadata that allows the caller to supply a
sortByReversedMetaDistance flag. When set to `true`, the annotation
search results will be sorted in reversed order based on each
annotation's meta distance, which effectively orders meta-annotations
before annotations that are declared directly on the underlying element.
ConfigurationClassParser and AnnotationConfigUtils have been updated to
use this new repeatable annotation search method for @PropertySource.
Closes gh-31074
Reuses ValidationAnnotationUtils which is slightly optimized for the detection of Spring's Validated annotation now, also to the benefit of common web scenarios.
Closes gh-21852
Includes query(Class) method with value and property mapping support on JdbcClient.
JdbcClient's singleColumn/singleValue are declared without a Class parameter now.
Closes gh-26594

AnnotatedTypeMetadata has various methods for finding annotations;
however, prior to this commit it did not provide explicit support for
repeatable annotations.
Although it is possible to craft a search "query" for repeatable
annotations using the MergedAnnotations API via getAnnotations(), that
requires intimate knowledge of the MergedAnnotations API as well as the
structure of repeatable annotations.
Furthermore, the bugs reported in gh-30941 result from the fact that
AnnotationConfigUtils attempts to use the existing functionality in
AnnotatedTypeMetadata to find repeatable annotations without success.
This commit introduces a getMergedRepeatableAnnotationAttributes()
method in AnnotatedTypeMetadata that provides dedicated support for
finding merged repeatable annotation attributes with full @AliasFor
semantics.
Closes gh-31041
The Javadoc for getAnnotationAttributes() states that it supports
"attribute overrides on composed annotations"; however, it actually
supports @AliasFor in general, including attribute aliases within a
given annotation.
This commit updates the Javadoc and corresponding tests to reflect that.
Closes gh-31042
