This change resolves a specific issue with processing java.math.BigDecimal via ExtendedBeanInfo. BigDecimal has a particular constellation of #setScale methods that, prior to this change, had the potential to cause ExtendedBeanInfo to throw an IntrospectionException depending on the order in which the methods were processed. Because JDK 7 no longer returns deterministic results from Class#getDeclaredMethods, it became a genuine possibility - indeed a statistical certainty that the 'wrong' setScale method handling order happens sooner or later. Typically one could observe this failure once out of every four test runs. This commit introduces deterministic method ordering of all discovered non-void returning write methods in such a way that solves the problem for BigDecimal as well as for any other class having a similar method arrangement. Also: - Remove unnecessary cast - Pass no method information to PropertyDescriptor superclasses when invoking super(...). This ensures that any 'type mismatch' IntrospectionExceptions are handled locally in ExtendedBeanInfo and its Simple* PropertyDescriptor variants where we have full control. Issue: SPR-10111, SPR-9702
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.
