Chris Beams a3161632dd Backport "Use ExtendedBeanInfo on an as-needed basis only"
Prior to this change, CachedIntrospectionResults delegated to
ExtendedBeanInfo by default in order to inspect JavaBean
PropertyDescriptor information for bean classes.

Originally introduced with SPR-8079, ExtendedBeanInfo was designed to
go beyond the capabilities of the default JavaBeans Introspector in
order to support non-void returning setter methods, principally to
support use of builder-style APIs within Spring XML. This is a complex
affair, and the non-trivial logic in ExtendedBeanInfo has led to various
bugs including regressions for bean classes that do not declare
non-void returning setters.

Many of these issues were fixed when overhauling non-void JavaBean write
method support in SPR-10029, however it appears that some extremely
subtle issues may still remain. ExtendedBeanInfo was taken out of use
completely in the 3.2.x line with SPR-9677 and the new BeanInfoFactory
mechanism. This support was not backported to 3.1.x, however, in the
interest of stability.

This commit, then, inlines the conditional logic introduced by
BeanInfoFactory directly into CachedIntrospectionResults. The net effect
is that ExtendedBeanInfo is out of the code path entirely except for
bean classes that actually contain 'candidate' methods, i.e. non-void
and/or static write methods.

This commit also includes the changes made in SPR-10115.

Spring Framework

The Spring Framework provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform. A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.

The framework also serves as the foundation for Spring Integration, Spring Batch and the rest of the Spring family of projects. Browse the repositories under the SpringSource organization on GitHub for a full list.

.NET and Python variants are available as well.
