This commit introduces the following changes:
- In AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor, the type aware variant of
canWrite() is now called when the converter implements
GenericHttpMessageConverter.
- The Javadoc has been updated in GenericHttpMessageConverter to make it clear
that the type aware canRead() and canWrite() methods should perform the same
checks than non type aware ones.
- AbstractGenericHttpMessageConverter now implements default type aware
canRead() and canWrite() methods than just call the non type aware variants.
Due to this, if subclasses just override the non type aware variants,
they still have the right behavior.

Prior to this commit, Spring's MimeType checked for equality between
two MIME types based on the equality of their properties maps; however,
the properties maps contain string representations of the "charset"
values. Thus, "UTF-8" is never equal to "utf-8" which breaks the
contract for character set names which must be compared in a
case-insensitive manner.
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that "charset" properties
in MimeType instances are compared as Java Charset instances, thereby
ignoring case when checking for equality between charset names.

This commit adds canWrite() and write() methods to the
GenericHttpMessageConverter interface. These are type aware variants
of the methods available in HttpMessageConverter, in order to keep
parametrized type information when serializing objects.
AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor now calls those type aware
methods when the message converter implements GenericHttpMessageConverter.
AbstractJackson2HttpMessageConverter and GsonHttpMessageConverter uses
these new methods to make @ResponseBody method return type available
for type resolution instead of just letting the JSON serializer trying
to guess the type to use from the object to serialize.

- Simplified "check" algorithms in CorsConfiguration
- Improved robustness of setter methods in CorsConfiguration in order to
avoid attempts to modify immutable lists
- Improved CORS documentation and fixed typo
- Introduced constants in CorsConfiguration
- Removed auto-boxing in CorsRegistration
Before this change HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler's were invoked in a
specific order (type-based, annotation-based, custom). However handlers
that deal with asynchronous return value handling need to always be
considered first. This affects custom handlers in particular since they
are normally ordered last.
This change introduces an AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler
sub-interface with a single method to determine if the return value is
asynchronous and if it is to look for a matching handler only among
those that are of type AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler.

Before this change a missing path variable value resulted in a 400
error where in fact the error is due to a mismatch between the
declared @PathVariable and the URI template, i.e. a 500 error.
This change introduced a MissingPathVariableException as a sub-class
of ServletRequestBindingException (the exception previously thrown)
and results in a response status code of 500 by default.
Issue: SPR-13121
Prior to this change, the `"Last-Modified"` and "`Etag`" support had
been improved with SPR-11324: HTTP response headers are now
automatically added for conditional requests and more.
This commit fixes the format of the "`Last-Modified`" and "`ETag`"
values, which were using an epoch timestamp rather than an HTTP-date
format defined in RFC 7231 section 7.1.1.1.
Also, Conditional responses are only applied when the given response
applies, i.e. when it has an compatible HTTP status (2xx).

This commit introduces support for RFC 7239: Forwarded HTTP Extension in
the UriComponentsBuilder. Unfortunately, RFC 7239 is not a complete
replacement for the X-Forwarded-* headers: specifically, there is not
direct replacement for X-Forwarded-Port. The JIRA contains more
information.
Issue: SPR-11856
This commit introduces first-class support for aliases for annotation
attributes. Specifically, this commit introduces a new @AliasFor
annotation that can be used to declare a pair of aliased attributes
within a single annotation or an alias from an attribute in a custom
composed annotation to an attribute in a meta-annotation.
To support @AliasFor within annotation instances, AnnotationUtils has
been overhauled to "synthesize" any annotations returned by "get" and
"find" searches. A SynthesizedAnnotation is an annotation that is
wrapped in a JDK dynamic proxy which provides run-time support for
@AliasFor semantics. SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler is the
actual handler behind the proxy.
In addition, the contract for @AliasFor is fully validated, and an
AnnotationConfigurationException is thrown in case invalid
configuration is detected.
For example, @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module is now
declared as follows:
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor(attribute = "locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor(attribute = "value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}
The following annotations and their related support classes have been
modified to use @AliasFor.
- @ManagedResource
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ActiveProfiles
- @TestExecutionListeners
- @TestPropertySource
- @Sql
- @ControllerAdvice
- @RequestMapping
Similarly, support for AnnotationAttributes has been reworked to
support @AliasFor as well. This allows for fine-grained control over
exactly which attributes are overridden within an annotation hierarchy.
In fact, it is now possible to declare an alias for the 'value'
attribute of a meta-annotation.
For example, given the revised declaration of @ContextConfiguration
above, one can now develop a composed annotation with a custom
attribute override as follows.
@ContextConfiguration
public @interface MyTestConfig {
@AliasFor(
annotation = ContextConfiguration.class,
attribute = "locations"
)
String[] xmlFiles();
// ...
}
Consequently, the following are functionally equivalent.
- @MyTestConfig(xmlFiles = "test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration("test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration(locations = "test.xml").

`BeanWrapperImpl` and `DirectFieldAccessor` are two
`ConfigurablePropertyAccessor` implementations with different features
set.
This commit harmonizes the two implementations to use a common base class
that delegates the actual property handling to the sub-classes:
* `BeanWrapperImpl`: `PropertyDescriptor` and introspection utilities
* `DirectFieldAccessor`: reflection on `java.lang.Field`
