Specifically, read and write methods are allowed to express property types with superclass/subclass relationships in both directions now.
Issue: SPR-11139
Specifically, if the current factory has Qualifier/ContextAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver set up, it is important to pass it on to ancestor factories to get consistent qualifier matching results.
Issue: SPR-10966
Our per-bean caching in AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor and co relies on unique bean names, so this change fixes potential cache mismatch problems occuring there.
Issue: SPR-11131
Attempt to improve performance by caching TypeDescriptors against bean
PropertyDescriptors in CachedIntrospectionResults.
This change is an attempt to fix the failing performance test case
`testPrototypeCreationWithOverriddenResourcePropertiesIsFastEnough` in
`AnnotationProcessorPerformanceTests`.
Apply consistent styling to new classes introduced in Spring 4.0.
- Javadoc line wrapping, whitespace and formatting
- General code whitespace
- Consistent Assert.notNull messages
Fix a variety of typos throughout the project, primarily in
comments (javadoc or otherwise) but also in a handful of log messages
and a couple exception messages.
ISSUE: SPR-11123
Fix remaining Java compiler warnings, mainly around missing
generics or deprecated code.
Also add the `-Werror` compiler option to ensure that any future
warnings will fail the build.
Issue: SPR-11064
Since @Bean methods are never used with externally specified constructor argument values but rather just with autowiring, the non-lenient constructor resolution mode is appropriate in case of an overloaded @Bean method, not performing any type difference weight checks. This change includes a refinement of Spring's existing non-lenient constructor resolution (which needs to be explicitly turned on and is therefore not well tested), narrowing the conditions for the ambiguity check (only in case of the same number of arguments and not for overridden methods).
Issue: SPR-10988
XML-defined arguments values are initially turned into TypedStringValue wrappers. If we encounter an unresolved argument, we need to unwrap such a TypedStringValue and then try to treat its content as a class name.
Issue: SPR-11034
Also optimized getTypeForFactoryMethod's implementation for non-generic factory methods, and reduced calls to getResolvedFactoryMethod in order to avoid repeated synchronization.
Issue: SPR-11034
DefaultListableBeanFactory performs a fallback check for autowire candidates now, which GenericTypeAwareAutowireCandidateResolver implements to accept raw type matches if the target class has unresolvable type variables. Full generic matches are still preferred; the BeanFactory will only start looking for fallback matches if the first pass led to an empty result.
Issue: SPR-10993
Issue: SPR-11004
Update TypeConverterDelegate to bypass conversion when the target type
is Object.class. Prior to this commit converting a single element array
to an Object would result in the element being returned, rather than
the array itself.
Issue: SPR-10996
- Now avoiding NullPointerExceptions in GenericTypeResolver's
resolveReturnTypeForGenericMethod() in case the supplied ClassLoader
is null.
- AutowireUtils.resolveReturnTypeForFactoryMethod() now properly
asserts that the supplied ClassLoader is not null.
- Fixed copy-n-paste errors in Javadoc for
AutowireUtils.resolveReturnTypeForFactoryMethod().
Issue: SPR-10411
Includes revisions of MethodParameter and DependencyDescriptor (in particular towards a reference to the containing class). Also refines several ResolvableType method signatures.
Issue: SPR-9965
We're consistently resolving class names now, and the entire algorithm moved from GenericTypeResolver to the internal AutowireUtils helper in the bean factory package.
