Since web applications declaring a Servlet 2.3 web.xml become really rare now, we're finally deprecating Spring's own ExpressionEvaluationUtils class. As a consequence, we're also setting "springJspExpressionSupport" to false by default, avoiding the potential double EL evaluation problem on pre-Servlet-3.0 containers.

The change to support generic @RequestBody arguments introduced in
3.2 M2 also introduced a regression in reading arguments that are
type variables. This change fixes the issue.

This is more specific exception raised instead of RestClientException
when the raw HTTP status code received from the server is not one of
the HttpStatus enum values.
Issue: SPR-9406
Prior to this change,
FrameworkServlet#configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext called
#postProcessWebApplicationContext(wac) and #applyInitializers(wac)
prior to #refresh, but because servlet-based property source stubs were
not replaced until #refresh, any post-processing or initialization
routines could not benefit from accessing the Environment to retrieve
properties from the ServletContext or ServletConfig.
The workaround to this problem is detailed in SPR-9610 - the user simply
needed to call WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources
manually within their ApplicationContextInitializer (or overridden
#postProcessWebApplicationContext method)
This commit ensures that
FrameworkServlet#configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext calls
WebApplicationContextUtils#initServletPropertySources eagerly, prior to
invoking #postProcessWebApplicationContext and #applyInitializers.
Related Javadoc has also been updated throughout to clarify the behavior
of #initServletPropertySources, when it can be called and what the
effects are, etc.
Note also that a reproduction issue was added to demonstrate the problem
and verify its resolution [1].

Issue: SPR-9610
The servlet spec recommends removing path parameters from the
contextPath, servletPath, and pathInfo but not from the requestURI.
This poses a challenge for the UrlPathHelper, which determines the
lookup path by comparing the above.
This change introduces a method that matches the requestURI to the
contextPath and servletPath ignoring path parameters (i.e. matrix
variables) for comparison purposes while also preserving them in the
resulting lookup path.
Prior to this commit the MockHttpServletRequest constructor chain set
the preferred local to Locale.ENGLISH. Furthermore, it was possible to
add additional preferred locales "in front" of ENGLISH; however, it was
not possible to delete ENGLISH from the list of preferred locales.
This commit documents the fact that ENGLISH is the default preferred
locale and makes it possible to set the list of preferred locales via a
new setPreferredLocales(List<Locale> locales) method.

The MVC namespace and the MVC Java config now allow configuring
CallableProcessingInterceptor and DeferredResultProcessingInterceptor
instances.

New afterTimeout and afterCompletion callbacks
afterTimeout can provide a concurrent result to be used instead of the
one that could not be set or returned on time
Interceptor exceptions cause async processing to resume treating the
exception as the concurrent result
Adapter classes for convenient implementation of the interfaces

Prior to this change, LocalJaxWsServiceFactory allowed specifying a WSDL
document URL. Now users may also specify a WSDL document represented as
a Spring Resource object for convenience.

Some servlet containers (iPlanet) parse the Accept header and return
multiple values from request.getHeader("Accept"). The HttpHeaders
getAccept method has been updated to accommodate that hopefully
without causing any other issues.
The extra functionality is in effect only if we find only one
MediaType and there is more than one value for the 'Accept' header.
Issue: SPR-9655
Previously UriComponentsBuilder used a regular expression for parsing
query name-value pairs where both name and value were expected to not
contain neither '&', not '='. The idea is that the presence of reserved
characters makes it impossible to guess correctly how to parse the
query string (e.g. a=b&c).
This change relaxes the constraint on query param values, allowing them
to contain '='. In effect '&' is the ultimate separator of name-value
pairs, and any '=' in values is ignored. For example "q=1USD=?EUR" is
interpreted as "q equals '1USD=?EUR'".
Issue: SPR-9832
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
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.

This new converter uses StringHttpMessageConverter internally combined
with a ConversionService for converting String content to and from the
target object type.
Issue: SPR-9738
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
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.
Class#getDeclaredMembers returns arbitrary results under JDK7. This
results in non-deterministic execution of JUnit test methods, often
revealing unintended dependencies between methods that rely on a
specific order to succeed.
JUnit 4.11 contains support for predictable test ordering [1], but at
the time of this commit, JUnit 4.11 has not yet been released.
Therefore we are testing against a snapshot version [2], which has been
uploaded to repo.springsource.org [3] for easy access. Note that this
artifact may be removed when JUnit 4.11 goes GA.
- Care has been taken to ensure that spring-test's compile-time
dependency on JUnit remains at 4.10. This means that the spring-test
pom.xml will continue to have an optional <dependency> on JUnit
4.10, instead of the 4.11 snapshot.
- For reasons not fully understood, the upgrade to the 4.11 snapshot
of junit-dep caused NoSuchMethodErrors around certain Hamcrest
types, particularly CoreMatchers and Matchers. import statements
have been updated accordingly throughout affected test cases.
- Runtime errors also occurred around uses of JUnit @Rule and
ExpectedException. These have been reverted to use simpler
mechanisms like @Test(expected) in the meantime.
- Some test methods with order-based dependencies on one another have
been renamed in order to fall in line with JUnit 4.11's new method
ordering (as opposed to actually fixing the inter-test
dependencies). In other areas, the fix was as simple as adding a
tearDown method and cleaning up state.
- For no apparent reason, the timeout in AspectJAutoProxyCreatorTests'
testAspectsAndAdvisorNotAppliedToPrototypeIsFastEnough method begins
to be exceeded. Prior to this commit the timeout value was 3000 ms;
on the CI server under Linux/JDK6 and JDK7, the test begins taking
anywhere from 3500-5500 ms with this commit. It is presumed that
this is an incidental artifact of the upgrade to JUnit 4.11. In any
case, there are no changes to src/main in this commit, so this
should not actually represent a performance risk for Spring
Framework users. The timeout has been increased to 6000 ms to
accommodate this situation.

Issue: SPR-9783
While HandlerMethod instances are cached for lookup purposes, a new
ServletInvocableHandlerMethod instance has to be created prior to each
invocation since handlers may have non-singleton scope semantics.
This change reduces the overhead of creating per request instances
by using a logger with a fixed name rather than relying on getClass()
and also by copying introspected method parameters from the cached
HandlerMethod instance.

This change fixes a cyclical package dependency.
The change also improves the implementation of
WebAsyncManager.hasConcurrentResult() following the resolution of
Apache issue id=53632 and the release of Apache Tomcat 7.0.30 that
contains the fix.
