Spring Framework 4.2 RC1 introduced support for synthesizing an
annotation from an existing annotation in order to provide additional
functionality above and beyond that provided by Java. Specifically,
such synthesized annotations provide support for @AliasFor semantics.
As luck would have it, the same principle can be used to synthesize an
annotation from any map of attributes, and in particular, from an
instance of AnnotationAttributes.
The following highlight the major changes in this commit toward
achieving this goal.
- Introduced AnnotationAttributeExtractor abstraction and refactored
SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler to delegate to an
AnnotationAttributeExtractor.
- Extracted code from SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler into new
AbstractAliasAwareAnnotationAttributeExtractor and
DefaultAnnotationAttributeExtractor implementation classes.
- Introduced MapAnnotationAttributeExtractor for synthesizing an
annotation that is backed by a map or AnnotationAttributes instance.
- Introduced a variant of synthesizeAnnotation() in AnnotationUtils
that accepts a map.
- Introduced findAnnotation(*) methods in AnnotatedElementUtils that
synthesize merged AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation of the
target type.
The following classes have been refactored to use the new support for
synthesizing AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation.
- ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter
- TestAnnotationUtils
- AbstractTestContextBootstrapper
- ActiveProfilesUtils
- ContextLoaderUtils
- DefaultActiveProfilesResolver
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener
- TestPropertySourceAttributes
- TestPropertySourceUtils
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener
- MetaAnnotationUtils
- MvcUriComponentsBuilder
- RequestMappingHandlerMapping
In addition, this commit also includes changes to ensure that arrays
returned by synthesized annotations are properly cloned first.

Reinstate a variant of the `WebContentGenerator.checkAndPrepare` method
for projects that are using it.
This variant is now marked as deprecated.

Prior to this commit, the `ResourceHttpRequestHandler` would not
properly handle HTTP requests to **directories contained in JARs**.
This would result in HTTP 500 errors, caused by `FileNotFoundException`
or `NullPointerException`.
This can be tracked to webapp ClassLoader implementations in servlet
containers:
* in Jetty9x, fetching a directory within a JAR as a `Resource` and
getting its InputStream work fine, but attempting to `close()` it
results in a NullPointerException as the underlying stream is null.
* In Tomcat6x, one cannot fetch an InputStream for the same `Resource`
as it throws a FileNotFoundException.
This change adds more try/catch clauses and catches more Exception so as
to result in HTTP 200 OK responses instead of server errors. While this
is inconsistent because the same code path would result in HTTP 404 with
existing directories on the file system, there's no other simple way to
make those checks for resources contained in JARs.
Issue: SPR-12999
Prior to this commit, WebJars users needed to use versioned links within
templates for WebJars resources, such as `/jquery/1.2.0/jquery.js`.
This can be rather cumbersome when updating libraries - all references
in templates need to be updated.
One could use version-less links in templates, but needed to add a
specific MVC Handler that uses webjars.org's webjar-locator library.
While this approach makes maintaing templates easier, this makes HTTP
caching strategies less optimal.
This commit adds a new WebJarsResourceResolver that search for resources
located in WebJar locations. This ResourceResolver is automatically
registered if the "org.webjars:webjars-locator" dependency is present.
Registering WebJars resource handling can be done like this:
```java
@Override
protected void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:META-INF/resources/webjars")
.resourceChain(true)
.addResolver(new WebJarsResourceResolver());
}
```

Prior to this commit, registering `HandlerInterceptor`s using the
`InterceptorRegistry` would not guarantee their order of execution. In
fact, `HandlerInterceptor`s would always be executed before
`MappedInterceptor`s.
This change makes `MappedInterceptor` implement the `HandlerInterceptor`
interface, in order to register all interceptors in a single ordered
list. The order of execution of interceptors is now guaranteed in the
`HandlerExecutionChain` built by `AbstractHandlerMapping`.

MvcUriComponentsBuilder::fromMethodCall creates wrong URLs with derived
controller classes. The @RequestMapping of the declaring class of the
method that is called is used instead of the @RequstMapping of the
given controller class.
https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-13033
After this change CorsProcessor has a single processRequest method and
it also explicitly deals with a null CorsConfiguration, which for
pre-flight requests results in a rejection while for simple requests
results in no CORS headers added.
The AbstractHandlerMapping now uses a LinkedHashMap to preserve the
order in which global patterns are provided.
This commit adds JavaConfig based global CORS configuration
capabilities to Spring MVC. It is now possible to specify
multiple CORS configurations, each mapped on a path pattern,
by overriding
WebMvcConfigurerAdapter#configureCrossOrigin(CrossOriginConfigurer).
It is also possible to combine global and @CrossOrigin based
CORS configuration.
Issue: SPR-12933
Prior to this commit, the ResourceUrlEncodingFilter would fail with a
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when:
* the current request has a servlet context
* the URL to encode is relative and is shorter than the context value
This change defensively checks for those lengths and delegates to the
parent implementation if necessary.
Issue: SPR-13018
Prior to this commit, AntPathMatcher would not correctly combine a path
that ends with a separator with a path that starts with a separator.
For example, `/foo/` + `/bar` combined into `/foo//bar`.
Specifically, this commit:
- Removes the duplicated separator in combined paths
- Improves RequestMappingInfo's toString() representation
- Fixes Javadoc formatting in AntPathMatcher
- Polishes AntPathMatcherTests
- Polishes Javadoc in AbstractRequestCondition
Issue: SPR-12975
Prior to this change, the `UrlTag` would simply append the remote
context and the path value in case of a context relative URL.
The following code snippet would output "//foo":
```
<spring:url value="/foo" context="/" />
```
This change now removes trailing slashes in remote context to avoid
this.
Issue: SPR-12782
- Methods which search for a specific annotation now properly ensure
that the sought annotation was actually found.
- Both the "get" and the "find" search algorithms no longer needlessly
traverse meta-annotation hierarchies twice.
- Both the "get" and the "find" search algorithms now properly
increment the metaDepth when recursively searching within the
meta-annotation hierarchy.
- Redesigned getMetaAnnotationTypes() so that it doesn't needlessly
search irrelevant annotations.
- Documented and tested hasMetaAnnotationTypes().
- Documented isAnnotated().
Issue: SPR-11514
Before this change AbstractHandlerMethodMapping used a map from Method
to CorsConfiguration. That works for regular @RequestMapping methods.
However frameworks like Spring Boot and Spring Integration may
programmatically register the same Method under multiple mappings,
i.e. adapter/gateway type classes.
This change ensures that CorsConfiguraiton is indexed by HandlerMethod
so that we can store CorsConfiguration for different handler instances
even when the method is the same.
In order for to make this work, HandlerMethod now provides an
additional field called resolvedFromHandlerMethod that returns the
original HandlerMethod (with the String bean name). This makes it
possible to perform reliable lookups.
Issue: SPR-11541
This commit introduces failing (but currently disabled) test cases in
HandlerMethodAnnotationDetectionTests that attempt to reproduce the
scenario described in SPR-9517.
See: ParameterizedSubclassDoesNotOverrideConcreteImplementationsFromGenericAbstractSuperclass
Furthermore, this commit also introduces passing tests cases for a
similar scenario. See: ParameterizedSubclassOverridesDefaultMappings
Issue: SPR-9517
CorsConfiguration now provides methods to check and determine the
allowed origin, method, and headers according to its own configuration.
This simplifies significantly the work that needs to be done from
DefaultCorsProcessor. However an alternative CorsProcessor can still
access the raw CorsConfiguration and perform its own checks.
Issue: SPR-12885
This commit adds CORS related headers to HttpHeaders
and update DefaultCorsProcessor implementation to
use ServerHttpRequest and ServerHttpResponse instead
of HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. Usage
of ServerHttpResponse allows to avoid using Servlet 3.0
specific methods in order keep CORS support Servlet 2.5
compliant.
Issue: SPR-12885
The change to provide public register/unregister methods in
AbstractHandlerMethodMapping assumed that a single method cannot be
mapped more than once. This is not the case with the MvcEndpoints and
EndpointHandlerMapping from Spring Boot which wrap one or more
non-web Endpoint types with an MvcEndpointAdapter in order to expose
them for use over the web. In effect Spring MVC sees a single handler
method mapped many times.
This change removes that assumption so rather than unregistering with
a HandlerMethod, which is not necessarily unique, the unregister method
now takes the actual mapping, which is the only thing that should actually
be unique.
Issue: SPR-11541
This commit adds additional context to the exception message generated
when two candidate methods are discovered in MvcUriComponentsBuilder's
getMethod(Class<?>, String, Object...).
Issue: SPR-12977
This commit introduces a new fromMethodNameWithBridgedMethod() test in
MvcUriComponentsBuilderTests which is currently disabled via @Ignore
until this bug is resolved.

When used in combination with GzipResourceResolver, the
CachingResourceResolver does not properly cache results, since it only
takes the request path as a input for cache key generation.
Here's an example of that behavior:
1. an HTTP client requests a resource with `Accept-Encoding: gzip`, so
the GzipResourceResolver can resolve a gzipped resource.
2. the configured CachingResourceResolver caches that resource.
3. another HTTP client requests the same resource, but it does not
support gzip encoding; the previously cached gzipped resource is still
returned.
This commit uses the presence/absence of gzip encoding support as an
input in cache keys generation.
Issue: SPR-12982
Before this change AbstractHandlerMethodMapping contained multiple
maps all containing different kinds of mapping meta-data. After the
change a MappingDefinitionRegistry inner class encapsulates these
fields along with their initialization code.
Issue: SPR-11541
Before 4.2 the MvcUriComponentsBuilder exposed only static factory
methods and therefore there should be no reason for it to extend
UriComponentsBuilder (design oversight). It's also highly unlikely
for application code to treat MvcUriCB as UriCB since there is no
need and no way to obtain an instance (constructor is protected).
This change removes the base class declaration from MvcUriCB.
