XML-defined arguments values are initially turned into TypedStringValue wrappers. If we encounter an unresolved argument, we need to unwrap such a TypedStringValue and then try to treat its content as a class name.
Issue: SPR-11034
Also optimized getTypeForFactoryMethod's implementation for non-generic factory methods, and reduced calls to getResolvedFactoryMethod in order to avoid repeated synchronization.

Since the Spring TestContext Framework was introduced in Spring
Framework 2.5, the TestContext class has always been a public class
with package private constructors. The visibility of TestContext's
constructor and methods was intentionally limited in order to hide the
implementation details of the context cache, etc. However, this fact
has made it difficult (if not impossible) to unit test custom
TestExecutionListener implementations.
This commit addresses this issue by converting TestContext into a
public interface with a package private DefaultTestContext
implementation. This enables unit testing of any components that depend
on a TestContext (e.g., TestExecutionListeners) while at the same time
preserving the encapsulation of the inner workings of the TestContext
implementation with regard to context loading and caching.

Add getSource() method to ResolvableType and TypeDescriptor allowing
access to the underlying source field or method parameter when possible.
Primarily added to provide access to additional type information or
meta-data that alternative JVM languages may provide.
Issue: SPR-10887
Update EvaluationException to expose the toDetailedString() method as
the exception message. The simple message can now be accessed via the
new getSimpleMessage() method.

Including ScriptEvaluator implementations for JSR-223, Groovy and BeanShell. BeanShell consistently receives the bean ClassLoader now. Also revised ScriptFactory and its implementations for varargs.
Issue: SPR-11007
DefaultListableBeanFactory performs a fallback check for autowire candidates now, which GenericTypeAwareAutowireCandidateResolver implements to accept raw type matches if the target class has unresolvable type variables. Full generic matches are still preferred; the BeanFactory will only start looking for fallback matches if the first pass led to an empty result.

Introduce base class AbstractMethodMessageHandler for
HandlerMethod-based message handling.
Add MessageCondition interface for mapping conditions to messages
with support for combining type- and method-level annotation
conditions, the ability to match conditions to messages, and also
comparing matches to select the best match.

The testDefaultConfig() method in MvcNamespaceTests creates a new Date()
in its test fixture but then performs an assertion against a hard coded
data string of "2013-10-21". This test therefore only passed yesterday,
on October 21, 2013.
This commit addresses this by changing the hard coded date string to one
based on the current date.

Support repeatable @PropertySource annotations in Java 8 and add
@PropertySources container annotation for Java 6/7. Also add an
ignoreResourceNotFound attribute to @PropertySource allowing missing
property resources to be silently ignored.
This commit also introduces some generally useful methods to
AnnotationUtils for working with @Repeatable annotations.
Issue: SPR-8371
The key contract is MvcUrls. An instance is automatically created with
the Spring MVC namespace and the MVC Java config but can also be easily
created in any configuration.
Some example tests can be found in DefaultMvcUrlsTests.
Issue: SPR-10665, SPR-8826
MvcUriComponentsBuilder allows creating URIs that point to Spring MVC
controller methods annotated with @RequestMapping. It builds them by
exposing a mock method invocation API similar to Mockito, records the
method invocations and thus builds up the URI by inspecting the mapping
annotations and the parameters handed into the method invocations.
Introduced a new SPI UriComponentsContributor that should be implemented
by HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers that actually contribute path segments
or query parameters to a URI. While the newly introduced
MvcUriComponentsBuilder looks up those UriComponentsContributor instances
from the MVC configuration.
The MvcUriComponentsBuilderFactory (name to be discussed - MvcUris maybe?)
prevents the multiple lookups by keeping the UriComponentsBuilder
instances in an instance variable. So an instance of the factory could
be exposed as Spring bean or through a HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to
be injected into Controller methods.

Ensure that property source locations are processed in the same order
regardless if the 'name' attribute is set or not.
Prior to this commit multiple locations from a `@PropertySource` with
a name were added to a `CompositePropertySource` in such a way that
the first location would take precedence. This has now been reversed
for consistence with unnamed `@PropertySource`s
Issue: SPR-10820
Update `AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster` to support `EventObjects`
with a null source (which can happen if they have been serialized).
Issue: SPR-10945
Update the `CacheKey` class used by `ReflectivePropertyAccessor` to
include if the target object is class. The prevents an incorrect cache
hit from being returned when a property with the same name is read on
both an object and its class. For example:
#{class.name}
#{name}
Issue: SPR-10486
Prior to this commit, the uniqueness check for @ContextConfiguration
attributes within a @ContextHierarchy was performed at a single test
class level instead of against the merged configuration for all test
class levels in the test class hierarchy.
This commit addresses this issue by moving the uniqueness check
algorithm from resolveContextHierarchyAttributes() to
buildContextHierarchyMap() within ContextLoaderUtils.
Issue: SPR-10997
Update getValue(EvaluationContext context, Object rootObject,
Class<T> desiredResultType) to propagate the EvaluationContext to
ExpressionUtils.
Issue: SPR-10953
Update TypeConverterDelegate to bypass conversion when the target type
is Object.class. Prior to this commit converting a single element array
to an Object would result in the element being returned, rather than
the array itself.
Issue: SPR-10996
Relax the method search algorithm used by `ReflectivePropertyAccessor`
to include methods of the form `getXY()` for properties of the form
`xy`.
Although the JavaBean specification indicates that a property `xy`
should use the accessors `getxY()` and `setxY()`, in practice many
developers choose to have an uppercase first character. The
`ReflectivePropertyAccessor` will now consider these style methods if
the traditional conventions fail to find a match.
