Prior to this commit, the Spring TestContext Framework only supported
loading an ApplicationContext in integration tests from either XML or
Java Properties files (since Spring 2.5), and Spring 3.1 introduced
support for loading an ApplicationContext in integration tests from
annotated classes (e.g., @Configuration classes). All of the
ContextLoader implementations used to provide this support load a
GenericApplicationContext. However, a GenericApplicationContext is not
suitable for testing a web application since a web application relies on
an implementation of WebApplicationContext (WAC).
This commit makes it possible to integration test Spring-powered web
applications by adding the following functionality to the Spring
TestContext Framework.
- Introduced AbstractGenericWebContextLoader and two concrete
subclasses:
- XmlWebContextLoader
- AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader
- Pulled up prepareContext(context, mergedConfig) from
AbstractGenericContextLoader into AbstractContextLoader to allow it
to be shared across web and non-web context loaders.
- Introduced AnnotationConfigContextLoaderUtils and refactored
AnnotationConfigContextLoader accordingly. These utils are also used
by AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader.
- Introduced a new @WebAppConfiguration annotation to denote that the
ApplicationContext loaded for a test should be a WAC and to configure
the base resource path for the root directory of a web application.
- Introduced WebMergedContextConfiguration which extends
MergedContextConfiguration with support for a baseResourcePath for
the root directory of a web application.
- ContextLoaderUtils.buildMergedContextConfiguration() now builds a
WebMergedContextConfiguration instead of a standard
MergedContextConfiguration if @WebAppConfiguration is present on the
test class.
- Introduced a configureWebResources() method in
AbstractGenericWebContextLoader that is responsible for creating a
MockServletContext with a proper ResourceLoader for the
resourceBasePath configured in the WebMergedContextConfiguration. The
resulting mock ServletContext is set in the WAC, and the WAC is
stored as the Root WAC in the ServletContext.
- Introduced a WebTestExecutionListener that sets up default thread
local state via RequestContextHolder before each test method by using
the MockServletContext already present in the WAC and by creating a
MockHttpServletRequest, MockHttpServletResponse, and
ServletWebRequest that is set in the RequestContextHolder. WTEL also
ensures that the MockHttpServletResponse and ServletWebRequest can be
injected into the test instance (e.g., via @Autowired) and cleans up
thread locals after each test method.
- WebTestExecutionListener is configured as a default
TestExecutionListener before DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener
- Extracted AbstractDelegatingSmartContextLoader from
DelegatingSmartContextLoader and introduced a new
WebDelegatingSmartContextLoader.
- ContextLoaderUtils now selects the default delegating ContextLoader
class name based on the presence of @WebAppConfiguration on the test
class.
- Tests in the spring-test-mvc module no longer use a custom
ContextLoader to load a WebApplicationContext. Instead, they now
rely on new core functionality provided in this commit.
Issue: SPR-5243
Caching of resovled exceptions introduced in SPR-7703 also introduced a
side effect whereby if exactly one exception was previously cached, any
other exception would appear as a match to the previously matched
@ExceptionHandler method.
This change ensures use of a fresh map when determining matching
@ExceptionHandler methods while also updating the cache.
Issue: SPR-9209
An additional update (after the last commit) of the "includes" and
"isCompatibleWith" methods of MediaType to accomodate wildcards
in media types with a suffix.
Issue: SPR-9841
The "includes" and "isCompatibleWith" methods of MediaType take into
account media types with suffices (e.g. application/soap+xml) including
wildcards with suffices (e.g. application/*+xml). However before this
change, the isWildcardSubtype() method returned true only for subtype
"*". Now a media type such as application/*+xml is also recognized as
having a wildcard subtype.
Issue: SPR-9841
Previously the project that was getting merged from would try to
execute the artifactoryPublish on the build box. This caused issues
since the mavenDescriptor did not exist.
The merge-dist.gradle now disables the artifactoryPublish task if it
exists (it will only exist on the build box).
Issue: SPR-9859, SPR-7951
This commit adds the spring-test-mvc project [1] to the Spring
Framework as part of the spring-test module.
The sources are added as a root-level project called "spring-test-mvc"
instead of under "spring-test" because the new sources need to be
compiled with Servlet 3 while the current "spring-test" sources require
Servlet 2.5 and the Eclipse IDE does not support having different
classpaths for the same project.
The Gradle build produces a single spring-test jar that contains
sources from both "spring-test" and "spring-test-mvc". This merge is
made possible through merge-dist.gradle as follows:
- jar tasks of the "from" project execute tasks of the "to" project
- "to" project is added to the classpath of the "from" project
- "to" project pom is updated with entries from the "from" project
For further details see documentation in merge-dist.gradle.

Issue: SPR-9859, SPR-7951
This should be significantly faster than our standard algorithm, for a very common case. Motivated by SPR-9802, even if the fix there uses a different approach, with transaction name determination not calling getMostSpecificMethod at all anymore.
Issue: SPR-9802
As of Spring 3.0.4, we were trying to expose the target method signature as transaction name. Unfortunately, the algorithm called the ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod helper method which performs a quite expensive reflective search. As of this commit, we're simply concatenating the target class name with the method name, accepting the use of the concrete target class (which is arguably more meaningful for monitoring anyway) even when the method implementation actually sits on a base class.
Issue: SPR-9802
These features require Java 6 or higher due to their dependency on the ResourceBundle.Control class. To some degree, ResourceBundleMessageSource catches up with ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource now. However, as noted in the javadoc, there are still severe limitations in the standard ResourceBundle class that justify an ongoing investment in our own ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource (based on the Spring resource abstraction, with manual parsing of properties files).
Issue: SPR-7392
Before this change the PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy accessed
the ServletContext via request.getServletContext, which is Servlet 3
specific. To work around it, there is now a Servlet-specific sub-class
that accepts a ServletContext as a constructor argument.
The ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean is now ServletContextAware and
if it has a ServletContext it creates the Servlet-specific sub-class
of PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy.
The ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean is now also used in several
places internally -- MVC namespace, MVC Java config, and the
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver -- to reduce duplication.
Issue: SPR-9826
Before this commit, UriComponentsBuilder did not handle opaque URIs at
all. After this commit it does.
Support is introduced by making UriComponents an abstract base class,
and having two concrete subclasses: HierarchicalUriComponents and
OpaqueUriComponents. The former is more or less the same as the old
UriComponents class.
Issue: SPR-9798
This new converter uses StringHttpMessageConverter internally combined
with a ConversionService for converting String content to and from the
target object type.
Issue: SPR-9738
Autowired methods might have been skipped on subsequent creation of further bean instances due to the 'skip' flag set to false outside of the synchronized block, with another thread entering the block and setting the flag to true in the meantime.
Issue: SPR-9806
LiveBeansView includes MBean exposure as well as Servlet exposure, with JSON as the initial output format. In order to identify an MBean per application, a new "getApplicationName()" method got introduced on the ApplicationContext interface, returning the Servlet container context path in case of a web application and defaulting to the empty String. MBean exposure can be driven by the "spring.liveBeansView.mbeanDomain" property, e.g. specifying "liveBeansView" as its value, leading to "liveBeansView:application=" or "liveBeansView:application=/myapp" style names for the per-application MBean.
Issue: SPR-9662
The RequestMethodsRequestCondition is now protected against HTTP
request method values not present in the RequestMethod enumeration
(e.g. PROPFIND).
Issue: SPR-9815
This change introduces two new interceptors with callback methods
for concurrent request handling. These interfaces are
CallableProcessingInterceptor and DeferredResultProcessingInterceptor.
Unlike a HandlerInterceptor, and its AsyncHandlerInterceptor sub-type,
which intercepts the invocation of a handler in he main request
processing thread, the two new interfaces are aimed at intercepting the
asynchronous execution of a Callable or a DeferredResult.
This allows for the registration of thread initialization logic in the
case of Callable executed with an AsyncTaskExecutor, or for centralized
tracking of the completion and/or expiration of a DeferredResult.
Prior to this commit, JibxMarshaller used a SAX ContentHandler to
marshal to StAX XMLEventWriters, which inadvertently resulted in the
deletion of XML comments.
After this commit, JibxMarshaller adapts the XMLEventWriter into an
XMLStreamWriter and comments are preserved.
Issue: SPR-9768
Prior to this change, @ComponentScan required the declaration of
exactly one of the #value, #basePackage or #basePackageClasses
attributes in order to determine which package(s) to scan.
This commit introduces support for base package inference, relaxing the
above requirement and falling back to scanning the package in which the
@ComponentScan-annotated class is declared.
Issue: SPR-9586
Float parameter handling appears to be marginally more expensive under
JDK7, with the testGetFloatParameterWithDefaultValueHandlingIsFastEnough
test clocking in anywhere from 250 to 315 ms. This violates the current
test threshold of 250 ms, so this commit ups the timeout value to 350 ms
with the assumption that this is indeed a marginal and therefore overall
negligible performance degradation.
