Prior to this commit, the size of the ApplicationContext cache in the
Spring TestContext Framework could grow without bound, leading to
issues with memory and performance in large test suites.
This commit addresses this issue by introducing support for setting the
maximum cache size via a JVM system property or Spring property called
"spring.test.context.cache.maxSize". If no such property is set, a
default value of 32 will be used.
Furthermore, the DefaultContextCache has been refactored to use a
synchronized LRU cache internally instead of a ConcurrentHashMap. The
LRU cache is a simple bounded cache with a "least recently used" (LRU)
eviction policy.

JSON payloads are sometimes prepended with a static string prefix
to prevent Cross Site Scripting Inclusion attacks (XSSI).
Prior to this commit, doing so would fail the MockMvc
`JsonPathResultMatchers` since they're considering the whole response as
the JSON payload.
This commit adds a new `JsonPathResultMatchers.prefix` method that
configures the matchers to check for the presence of that string (i.e.
fail if it's not there) and only consider the rest of the response body
as the JSON payload for other assertions.

Previously MockMvc builders failed to share the WebConnection used for
managing cookies in the MockMvcWebConnection. This meant that the various
CookieManagers would have different states.
This commit ensures that the WebConnection is set on the
MockMvcWebConnection.
Fixes SPR-14066
This commit introduces a test to demonstrate that inlined properties
override properties loaded from Properties files in
@TestPropertySource.
Issue: SPR-14068
This commit adds support for unwrapping proxies in the setField() and
getField() methods in ReflectionTestUtils.
Instead of always accessing fields directly on the supplied
targetObject (which may be a proxy), AopTestUtils is now used to obtain
the potential ultimateTargetObject which is then used for accessing
fields.

Allow third-parties to contribute ContextCustomizers that can customize
ApplicationContexts created by the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF)
before they are refreshed.
A customizer may be provided via a ContextCustomizerFactory which is
registered with `spring.factories`. Each factory is consulted whenever
a new ApplicationContext needs to be created by the TCF. Factories may
inspect various details about the test and either return a new
ContextCustomizer or null.
ContextCustomizers are similar to ApplicationContextInitializers and
may perform any number of tasks, including bean registration, setting
of active profiles, etc.

Add a ServletTestExecutionListener.ACTIVATE_LISTENER attribute which
can be set on the TestContext to trigger activation of the listener
even if a `@WebAppConfiguration` is not present.
Issue: SPR-14035
Prior to this commit, the @ContextConfiguration annotation was required
to be present even if default XML files, Groovy scripts, or
@Configuration classes were detected; however, in such cases the
@ContextConfiguration was typically declared empty and therefore
seemingly unnecessary boilerplate.
This commit permits @ContextConfiguration to be omitted whenever it can
be reasonably deduced. Consequently, integration tests such as the
following are now supported.
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MyTest {
@Autowired String myBean;
@Test public void example() { /* ... */ }
@Configuration
static class Config {
@Bean String myBean() {
return "Hello";
}
}
}
Issue: SPR-13955
Update @WebAppConfiguration so that it no longer directly specifies
a TestContextBootstrapper. This allows third parties to use the
annotation in combination with their own bootstrapper.
BootstrapUtils now provides the detection logic for when
WebTestContextBootstrapper should be used.

This commit changes the visibility of the getTestContext() method in
TestContextManager from 'protected' to 'public' in order to support
test method injection in JUnit 5 and similar use cases.
Issue: SPR-14011
This commit demonstrates how to register one or more @Configuration
classes via an ApplicationContextInitializer in a composed annotation so
that certain @Configuration classes are always registered whenever the
composed annotation is used, even if the composed annotation is used to
declare additional @Configuration classes.
Before this commit, specifying the charset to use with produces or
consumes @RequestMapping attributes resulted in default charset
loss. That was really annoying for JSON for example, where using
UTF-8 charset is mandatory in a lot of use cases.
This commit adds a defaultCharset property to
AbstractHttpMessageConverter in order to avoid losing the
default charset when specifying the charset with these
@RequestMapping attributes.
It changes slightly the default behavior (that's why we have waited
4.3), but it is much more error prone, and will match with most
user's expectations since the charset loss was accidental in most
use cases (users usually just want to limit the media type supported
by a specific handler method).
Issue: SPR-13631
Prior to this commit, the TransactionalTestExecutionListener required
@Transactional test methods to be public; however, neither TestNG nor
JUnit 5 require that @Test methods are public. Consequently, non-public
transactional test methods silently run *without* a transaction.
This commit removes the 'public' restriction on transactional test
methods by setting the 'publicMethodsOnly' flag in
AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource to false.
Issue: SPR-14000
In order to align with the relaxed programming models of TestNG and the
upcoming JUnit 5 (with regard to method visibility), this commit
removes the requirement that @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction
methods must be 'public'.
Issue: SPR-13997
This commit introduces a SpringRunner extension of
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner that is intended to be used as an 'alias' for
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, primarily in order to simplify configuration
of JUnit 4 based integration tests.
Developers can use this alias as follows:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class MySpringIntegrationTests { ... }
