The AbstractHttpMessageConverter was using the requested Content-Type
rather than the actual response Content-Type to determine the length
of the content. This can lead to a problem when a controller returns
a ResponseEntity with a Content-Type header that ignores (overrides)
the requested Content-Type. The fix ensures that actual response
Content-Type is the one used both to write to the response and to
determine the length of the content.
Equivalent to <context:spring-configured/>.
Also update @EnableLoadTimeWeaving Javadoc and spring-configured XSD
documentation to reflect.

3.1 M2 introduced a regression that causes false positives during
@Configuration class candidate checks. Now performing a call to
AnnotationMetadata#isInterface in addition to checks for @Component and
@Bean annotations when determining whether a candidate is a 'lite'
configuration class. Annotations are in the end interfaces, so both
are filtered out at once.
Issue: SPR-8761
Prior to this change, any instantiation of an
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext would trigger the creation of three
StandardEnvironment objects: one for the ApplicationContext, one for the
AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader, and one for the
ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner.
The latter two are immediately swapped out when the ApplicationContext
delegates its environment to these subordinate objects anyway. Not only
is it inefficient to create these two extra Environments, it creates
confusion when debug-level logging is turned on. From the user's
perspective and in practice, there is only one Environment; logging
should reflect that.
This change ensures that only one Environment object is ever created for
a given ApplicationContext. If an AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader or
ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner are used in isolation, e.g. against a
plain BeanFactory/BeanDefinitionRegistry, then they will still create
their own local StandardEnvironment object.
All public API compatibility is preserved; new constructors have been
added where necessary to accommodate passing an Environment directly
to ABDR ar CPBDS.
Properties such as 'spring.profiles.active' cannot be specified at the
command line under Bash and other shells due to variable naming
constraints. This change allows for exchanging underscores for periods
as well as capitalizing property names for more idiomatic naming when
dealing with environment variables.
For example, Spring will respect equally either of the following:
spring.profiles.active=p1 java -classpath ... MyApp
SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=p1 java -classpath ... MyApp
The former is not possible under Bash, while the latter is. No code or
configuration changes are required; SystemEnvironmentPropertySource
adapts for these varations automatically.
SystemEnvironmentPropertySource is added by default as
"systemEnvironment" to StandardEnvironment and all subtypes, taking the
place of the plain MapPropertySource that was in use before this change.
Issue: SPR-8869
Allowing beans of primitive type to be looked up via getBean(Class), or
to be injected using @Autowired or @Injected or @Resource. Prior to
these changes, an attempt to lookup or inject a bean of, for example,
type boolean would fail because all spring beans are Objects, regardless
of initial type due to the way that ObjectFactory works.
Now these attempts to lookup or inject primitive types work, thanks to
simple changes in AbstractBeanFactory using ClassUtils#isAssignable
methods instead of the built-in Class#isAssignableFrom. The former takes
into account primitives and their object wrapper types, whereas the
latter does not.
The need to declare, look up or inject primitive-typed beans is probably
low -- how often does one need a bean of type boolean or int after all?.
Prior to the introduction of @Bean methods in Spring 3.0, it was not
possible in practice to register primitive beans, so this issue never
came up. Now that one can declare primitive-typed beans, it does make
sense that we properly support by-type lookup and injection without
forcing the user to work with object wrappers.
Issue: SPR-8874
Currently the combine method consolidates "/*" and "/hotel"
into "/hotel". However if the first pattern contains URI template
variables, the consolidation seems wrong. The fix is to prevent
the consolidation if the first pattern contains "{".
Certain edge cases around return type covariance can trigger an
IntrospectionException when trying to create a new PropertyDescriptor;
particularly around the addition of write methods with parameter types
that do not match read method return types.
These type mismatch exceptions are raised during normal Introspector
operations as well (i.e. without ExtendedBeanInfo in the mix), but
the Introspector intentionally supresses them. In covariance cases,
there is often already a suitable write method present, e.g. discovered
in a supertype or superinterface, that, with the benefit of bridge
methods works just fine in practice at runtime. That is to say, in
these suppression cases, the rejection of the write method is 'OK' in
that there is already a write method present that can handle a call.
ExtendedBeanInfo now mirrors this suppression behavior, but does issue
a WARN-level log message to let the user know.
An important effect of this change is that ExtendedBeanInfo now modifies
the delegate BeanInfo object, whereas previously it did not. In practice
this probably matters very little, but it is a design change worth
noting. The reason for this change was to avoid the need to create new
PropertyDescriptors wherever possible. It was discovered that by updating
existing PDs, one can avoid these IntrospectionExceptions a greater
percentage of the time.
Issue: SPR-8806
The UriComponentsBuilder instance passed into the method is initialized
with current request information including host, scheme, port, context
path, and the servlet mapping's literal part.
Also added shortcut methods to buildAndExpand in UriComponentsBuilder.
The registration of more than one ConfigurationClassPostProcessor
results in the double-enhancement of @Configuration classes, i.e. a
two-deep CGLIB subclass hierarchy is created.
As a side-effect of changes introduced in 3.1 M2 fixing SPR-8080, this
behavior now results in an infinite loop at CGLIB callback processing
time, leading to a StackOverflowException which is then suppressed by
the container, and ultimately results in the user being presented with
an unintuitive "Bean 'x' is not already in creation" exception.
This fix introduces a marker interface 'EnhancedConfiguration' to be
implemented by all generated @Configuration subclasses. The
configuration class enhancer can then behave in an idempotent fashion
by checking to see whether a candidate @Configuration class is already
assignable to this type i.e. already enhanced and ignore it if so.
Naturally, users should avoid registering more than one
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor, but this is not always possible. As
with the case in point, SPR-8824 originates from problems with
spring-data-neo4j, which explicitly registers its own
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor. The user has little control over this
arrangement, so it is important that the framework is defensive as
described above.
