Prior to this commit, the active bean definition profiles to use when
loading an ApplicationContext for tests could only be configured
declaratively (i.e., via hard-coded values supplied to the 'value' or
'profiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles).
This commit makes it possible to programmatically configure active bean
definition profiles in tests via a new ActiveProfileResolver interface.
Custom resolvers can be registered via a new 'resolver' attribute
introduced in @ActiveProfiles.
Overview of changes:
- Introduced a new ActiveProfilesResolver API.
- Added a 'resolver' attribute to @ActiveProfiles.
- Updated ContextLoaderUtils.resolveActiveProfiles() to support
ActiveProfilesResolvers.
- Documented these new features in the reference manual.
- Added new content to the reference manual regarding the
'inheritProfiles' attribute of @ActiveProfiles
- Removed the use of <lineannotation> Docbook markup in the testing
chapter of the reference manual for Java code examples in order to
allow comments to have proper syntax highlighting in the generated
HTML and PDF.
Issue: SPR-10338
Commit 5b1165 was an attempt to leave semicolon content in the URL path
while ignoring it for request mapping purposes. However, it becomes
quite difficult to manage and semicolon content should not always be
ignored (sometimes a semicolon is used as a separator of multiple items
in a path segment, rather than for matrix variables).
This change effectively reverts back to the original approach in 3.2
where a flag on AbstractHandlerMapping can be used to have semicolon
content removed or kept. If kept, path segments with matrix variables
must be represented with a path segment.
The main difference is that by default it is removed everywhere
including the MVC namespace and Java config.
Issue: SPR-10427, SPR-10234
Removed spring-beans.dtd (the 1.x variant) and spring-oxm-1.5.xsd (pre-Spring-Framework variant), in order to raise the backwards compatibility limit a little bit at least. We'll keep supporting the 2.0 and 2.5 xsd versions for the time being, as well as spring-beans-2.0.dtd.
Removed the ref 'local' attribute in spring-beans-4.0.xsd since 'local' lost its differentiating role to a regular bean ref back in the 3.1 days when we started allowing for the same bean id to reappear in a different beans section of the same configuration file (with a different profile).
Issue: SPR-10437
This commit deletes the deprecated @ExpectedException and
@NotTransactional annotations, supporting code, and related Javadoc and
reference documentation.
Issue: SPR-10499
Rework the reference documentation to better distinguish the differences
between @Bean methods used in @Comonent vs @Configuration classes. The
'Using the @Bean annotation' section now only covers concepts applicable
when using @Bean methods in @Configuration _or_ @Component classes.
Information only applicable to @Configuration classes has been moved to
a new 'Using the @Configuration annotation' section.
An additional sidebar section attempts to explain the differences
between the two approaches.
Issue: SPR-9425
This commit reformats the testing chapter (and adds minor polishing
changes) in order to avoid massive merge diffs in upcoming commits.
Issue: SPR-10357
Update the Spring OXM reference documentation to include changes
introduced in CastorMarshaller, specifically around CastorMarshaller
XSD configuration.
Issue: SPR-8509
Inner beans are not prototype beans as, in contrast to what is
documented in the section for prototype beans, the inner bean does
get destruction callbacks applied.
Issue: SPR-10311
Update reference guide to include a note about the use of
HttpPutFormContentFilter in combination with @RequestBody
MultiValueMap and HttpEntity.
Issue: SPR-8415
Update examples for Quartz scheduling to use SimpleTriggerFactoryBean
and CronTriggerFactoryBean instead of SimpleTriggerBean and
CronTriggerBean.
Issue: SPR-10209
Allow @Cachable, @CachePut and equivalent XML configuration to provide
a SpEL expression that can be used to veto putting an item into the
cache. Unlike 'condition' the 'unless' parameter is evaluated after
the method has been called and can therefore reference the #result.
For example:
@Cacheable(value="book",
condition="#name.length < 32",
unless="#result.hardback")
This commit also allows #result to be referenced from @CacheEvict
expressions as long as 'beforeInvocation' is false.
Issue: SPR-8871
This commit improves the "Spring Test Dependencies" section of the 3.2
migration guide by correctly explaining that Hamcrest Core is now a
required transitive dependency of JUnit.
Issue: SPR-10251
This commit fixes a typo in the "New Features and Enhancements in Spring
Framework 3.2" chapter of the reference manual. Specifically,
ContentNegotiationStrategy is now spelled correctly.
The Validation chapter now includes information on combining JSR-303
Bean Validation with additional Spring Validator's that don't require
the use of annotations.
