This commit migrates all remaining tests from JUnit 3 to JUnit 4, with
the exception of Spring's legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework that
is still in use in the spring-orm module.
Issue: SPR-13514
This commit picks up where 3eacb837c2
(SPR-13345) left off by adding support for transitive implicit aliases
configured via @AliasFor.
Issue: SPR-13405
Spring Framework 4.2 introduced support for aliases between annotation
attributes that fall into the following two categories.
1) Alias pairs: two attributes in the same annotation that use
@AliasFor to declare that they are explicit aliases for each other.
2) Meta-annotation attribute overrides: an attribute in one annotation
uses @AliasFor to declare that it is an explicit override of an
attribute in a meta-annotation.
However, the existing functionality fails to support the case where two
attributes in the same annotation both use @AliasFor to declare that
they are both explicit overrides of the same attribute in the same
meta-annotation. In such scenarios, one would intuitively assume that
two such attributes would be treated as "implicit" aliases for each
other, analogous to the existing support for explicit alias pairs.
Furthermore, an annotation may potentially declare multiple aliases
that are effectively a set of implicit aliases for each other.
This commit introduces support for implicit aliases configured via
@AliasFor through an extensive overhaul of the support for alias
lookups, validation, etc. Specifically, this commit includes the
following.
- Introduced isAnnotationMetaPresent() in AnnotationUtils.
- Introduced private AliasDescriptor class in AnnotationUtils in order
to encapsulate the parsing, validation, and comparison of both
explicit and implicit aliases configured via @AliasFor.
- Switched from single values for alias names to lists of alias names.
- Renamed getAliasedAttributeName() to getAliasedAttributeNames() in
AnnotationUtils.
- Converted alias map to contain lists of aliases in AnnotationUtils.
- Refactored the following to support multiple implicit aliases:
getRequiredAttributeWithAlias() in AnnotationAttributes,
AbstractAliasAwareAnnotationAttributeExtractor,
MapAnnotationAttributeExtractor, MergedAnnotationAttributesProcessor
in AnnotatedElementUtils, and postProcessAnnotationAttributes() in
AnnotationUtils.
- Introduced numerous tests for implicit alias support, including
AbstractAliasAwareAnnotationAttributeExtractorTestCase,
DefaultAnnotationAttributeExtractorTests, and
MapAnnotationAttributeExtractorTests.
- Updated Javadoc in @AliasFor regarding implicit aliases and in
AnnotationUtils regarding "meta-present".
Issue: SPR-13345
SocketUtils is used to find available ports on localhost; however,
prior to this commit, SocketUtils incorrectly reported a port as
available on localhost if another process was already bound to
localhost on the given port but not to other network interfaces. In
other words, SocketUtils determined that a given port was available for
some interface though not necessarily for the loopback interface.
This commit addresses this issue by refactoring SocketUtils so that it
tests the loopback interface to ensure that the port is actually
available for localhost.
Issue: SPR-13321
Prior to this commit, attempting to synthesize an annotation from a map
of annotation attributes that contained nested maps instead of nested
annotations would result in an exception.
This commit addresses this issue by properly synthesizing nested maps
and nested arrays of maps into nested annotations and nested arrays of
annotations, respectively.
Issue: SPR-13338
It is a configuration error if an alias is declared via @AliasFor for
an attribute in a meta-annotation and the meta-annotation is not
meta-present. However, prior to this commit, the support for validating
the configuration of @AliasFor in AnnotationUtils currently silently
ignored such errors.
This commit fixes this by throwing an AnnotationConfigurationException
whenever a required meta-annotation is not present or meta-present on
an annotation that declares an explicit alias for an attribute in the
meta-annotation.
Issue: SPR-13335
This commit aims to improve the space and time performance of
NumberUtils by invoking valueOf() factory methods instead of the
corresponding constructors when converting a number to a target class.
Prior to this commit, an explicit override for an attribute in a
meta-annotation configured via @AliasFor could potentially result in an
incorrect override of an attribute of the same name but in the wrong
meta-annotation.
This commit fixes the algorithm in getAliasedAttributeName(Method,
Class) in AnnotationUtils by ensuring that an explicit attribute
override is only applied to the configured target meta-annotation
(i.e., configured via the 'annotation' attribute in @AliasFor).
Issue: SPR-13325
SPR-11512 introduced support for annotation attribute aliases via
@AliasFor, requiring the explicit declaration of the 'attribute'
attribute. However, for aliases within an annotation, this explicit
declaration is unnecessary.
This commit improves the readability of alias pairs declared within an
annotation by introducing a 'value' attribute in @AliasFor that is an
alias for the existing 'attribute' attribute. This allows annotations
such as @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module to declare
aliases as follows.
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor("locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor("value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}
