Prior to this commit, the active bean definition profiles to use when
loading an ApplicationContext for tests could only be configured
declaratively (i.e., via hard-coded values supplied to the 'value' or
'profiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles).
This commit makes it possible to programmatically configure active bean
definition profiles in tests via a new ActiveProfileResolver interface.
Custom resolvers can be registered via a new 'resolver' attribute
introduced in @ActiveProfiles.
Overview of changes:
- Introduced a new ActiveProfilesResolver API.
- Added a 'resolver' attribute to @ActiveProfiles.
- Updated ContextLoaderUtils.resolveActiveProfiles() to support
ActiveProfilesResolvers.
- Documented these new features in the reference manual.
- Added new content to the reference manual regarding the
'inheritProfiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles
- Removed the use of <lineannotation> Docbook markup in the testing
chapter of the reference manual for Java code examples in order to
allow comments to have proper syntax highlighting in the generated
HTML and PDF.
