1. Consider single-purpose return value types like HttpEntity, Model,
View, and ModelAndView ahead of annotations like @ResponseBody and
@ModelAttribute. And reversely consider multi-purpose return value
types like Map, String, and void only after annotations like
@RB and @MA.
2. Order custom argument resolvers and return value handlers after the
built-in ones also clarifying the fact they cannot be used to override
the built-in ones in Javadoc throughout.
3. Provide hooks in RequestMappingHandlerAdapter that subclasses can use
to programmatically modify the list of argument resolvers and return
value handlers, also adding new getters so subclasses can get access
to what they need for the override.
4. Make SessionStatus available through ModelAndViewContainer and
provide an argument resolver for it.
5. Init test and javadoc improvements.
Separate client from server errors as much as possible in this order:
- raise MultipartException when resolving a multipart arg and the
request is not a multipart request (400)
- raise IllegalArgumentException when the arg type is MultipartFile
but the request is not of type MultipartHttpServletRequest (500)
- raise MissingServletRequestPartException when a MultipartResolver
is in use but the part is not found (400)
- detect presence of Servlet 3.0 before using standard multipart
parsing to find a request part or raise
IllegalArgumentException (500)
Unfortunately it is not always possible to separate client from
server errors mainly because the Servlet 3.0 API does not
distinguish between the case of 0 request parts vs multipart
processing not being configured.
Prior to this change, StandardServletEnvironment evaluated a
"jndiPropertySourceEnabled" flag to determine whether or not to add a
JndiPropertySource. Following the changes introduced in SPR-8490, there
is now no reason not to enable a JNDI property source by default. This
change eliminates the support for "jndiPropertySourceEnabled" and adds
a JndiPropertySource automatically.
Issue: SPR-8545, SPR-8490
Move JNDI_PROPERTY_SOURCE_ENABLED_FLAG from JndiPropertySource to
StandardServletEnvironment, as this is the only context in which the
constant makes sense.
