Use of package private @Bean methods can cause issues if the class
is extended and the sub-class is in a different package. This is
covered in detail in SPR-8756.
Certain external javadoc links were broken or out of date, namely
Hibernate, Java SE and EE 6, Quartz, and Apache Pluto. All resolve
properly now.
Issue: SPR-8720
Add BridgeMethodResolver#isJava6VisibilityBridgeMethodPair to
distinguish between (a) bridge methods introduced in Java 6 to
compensate for inheriting public methods from non-public superclasses
and (b) bridge methods that have existed since Java 5 to accommodate
return type covariance and generic parameters.
In the former case, annotations should be looked up from the original
bridged method (SPR-7900). In the latter, the annotation should be
looked up against the bridge method itself (SPR-8660).
As noted in the Javadoc for the new method, see
http://stas-blogspot.blogspot.com/2010/03/java-bridge-methods-explained.html
for a useful description of the various types of bridge methods, as
well as http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6342411, the bug fixed in
Java 6 resulting in the introduction of 'visibility bridge methods'.
Issue: SPR-8660, SPR-7900
Remove all convenience variants of #findAllAnnotationAttributes and
refactor the remaining method to accept a MetadataReaderFactory
instead of creating its own SimpleMetadataReaderFactory internally.
This allows clients to use non-default class loaders as well as
customize the particular MetadataReaderFactory to be used (e.g.
'simple' vs 'caching', etc).

This commit and the several before it back out the
SessionFactoryBuilder and AnnotationSessionFactoryBuilder types
recently introduced in 3.1 M2. This is in light of the impending
release of Hibernate 4.0 GA and our own support for it the new
org.springframework.orm.hibernate4 package (not yet committed).
This new package will have a similar, but far simpler, arrangement of
a single LocalSessionFactoryBuilder and LocalSessionFactoryBean pair.
Hibernate 3.x support will remain largely as-is, however the
HibernateTransactionManager introduced with SPR-8076 will remain.
This reverts commit 9e8259198f.

Removed formal deprecation warnings for AbstractSingletonFactoryBean and
its TransactionProxyFactoryBean and CacheProxyFactoryBean subclasses.
This is principally because TPFB is still used by Grails and could
conceivably be used to good effect by any third-party framework in a
similar fashion. CPFB is new with 3.1, but similar use is predictable.
Deprecations have been replaced by strong recommendations that users
avoid these types in modern Spring applications and favor the use of
namespaces and annotatinos, such as tx: and @Transactional (around
since Spring 2.x) and cache: and @Cacheable.
Issue: SPR-8680, SPR-8686
In anticipation of 'destroy method inference' feature, introduce
ConfigurationClassUtils#INFER_METHOD and update @Bean#destroyMethod to
reflect its use.
