Spring Framework 4.2 RC1 introduced support for synthesizing an
annotation from an existing annotation in order to provide additional
functionality above and beyond that provided by Java. Specifically,
such synthesized annotations provide support for @AliasFor semantics.
As luck would have it, the same principle can be used to synthesize an
annotation from any map of attributes, and in particular, from an
instance of AnnotationAttributes.
The following highlight the major changes in this commit toward
achieving this goal.
- Introduced AnnotationAttributeExtractor abstraction and refactored
SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler to delegate to an
AnnotationAttributeExtractor.
- Extracted code from SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler into new
AbstractAliasAwareAnnotationAttributeExtractor and
DefaultAnnotationAttributeExtractor implementation classes.
- Introduced MapAnnotationAttributeExtractor for synthesizing an
annotation that is backed by a map or AnnotationAttributes instance.
- Introduced a variant of synthesizeAnnotation() in AnnotationUtils
that accepts a map.
- Introduced findAnnotation(*) methods in AnnotatedElementUtils that
synthesize merged AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation of the
target type.
The following classes have been refactored to use the new support for
synthesizing AnnotationAttributes back into an annotation.
- ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter
- TestAnnotationUtils
- AbstractTestContextBootstrapper
- ActiveProfilesUtils
- ContextLoaderUtils
- DefaultActiveProfilesResolver
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener
- TestPropertySourceAttributes
- TestPropertySourceUtils
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener
- MetaAnnotationUtils
- MvcUriComponentsBuilder
- RequestMappingHandlerMapping
In addition, this commit also includes changes to ensure that arrays
returned by synthesized annotations are properly cloned first.
Issue: SPR-13067
This commit introduces first-class support for aliases for annotation
attributes. Specifically, this commit introduces a new @AliasFor
annotation that can be used to declare a pair of aliased attributes
within a single annotation or an alias from an attribute in a custom
composed annotation to an attribute in a meta-annotation.
To support @AliasFor within annotation instances, AnnotationUtils has
been overhauled to "synthesize" any annotations returned by "get" and
"find" searches. A SynthesizedAnnotation is an annotation that is
wrapped in a JDK dynamic proxy which provides run-time support for
@AliasFor semantics. SynthesizedAnnotationInvocationHandler is the
actual handler behind the proxy.
In addition, the contract for @AliasFor is fully validated, and an
AnnotationConfigurationException is thrown in case invalid
configuration is detected.
For example, @ContextConfiguration from the spring-test module is now
declared as follows:
public @interface ContextConfiguration {
@AliasFor(attribute = "locations")
String[] value() default {};
@AliasFor(attribute = "value")
String[] locations() default {};
// ...
}
The following annotations and their related support classes have been
modified to use @AliasFor.
- @ManagedResource
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ActiveProfiles
- @TestExecutionListeners
- @TestPropertySource
- @Sql
- @ControllerAdvice
- @RequestMapping
Similarly, support for AnnotationAttributes has been reworked to
support @AliasFor as well. This allows for fine-grained control over
exactly which attributes are overridden within an annotation hierarchy.
In fact, it is now possible to declare an alias for the 'value'
attribute of a meta-annotation.
For example, given the revised declaration of @ContextConfiguration
above, one can now develop a composed annotation with a custom
attribute override as follows.
@ContextConfiguration
public @interface MyTestConfig {
@AliasFor(
annotation = ContextConfiguration.class,
attribute = "locations"
)
String[] xmlFiles();
// ...
}
Consequently, the following are functionally equivalent.
- @MyTestConfig(xmlFiles = "test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration("test.xml")
- @ContextConfiguration(locations = "test.xml").

In order to simplify configuration of the SpringMethodRule and to ensure
that the correct TestContextManager is always retrieved for the
currently executing test class, this commit introduces a static
TestContextManager cache in SpringClassRule.
In addition, since it is not foreseen that SpringClassRule and
SpringMethodRule should be able to be subclassed, their internal methods
are now private instead of protected.
Issue: SPR-7731
Since Spring Framework 2.5, support for integrating the Spring
TestContext Framework (TCF) into JUnit 4 based tests has been provided
via the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, but this approach precludes the
ability for tests to be run with alternative runners like JUnit's
Parameterized or third-party runners such as the MockitoJUnitRunner.
This commit remedies this situation by introducing @ClassRule and @Rule
based alternatives to the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. These rules are
independent of any Runner and can therefore be combined with
alternative runners.
Due to the limitations of JUnit's implementation of rules, as of JUnit
4.12 it is currently impossible to create a single rule that can be
applied both at the class level and at the method level (with access to
the test instance). Consequently, this commit introduces the following
two rules that must be used together.
- SpringClassRule: a JUnit TestRule that provides the class-level
functionality of the TCF to JUnit-based tests
- SpringMethodRule: a JUnit MethodRule that provides the
instance-level and method-level functionality of the TCF to
JUnit-based tests
In addition, this commit also introduces the following new JUnit
Statements for use with rules:
- RunPrepareTestInstanceCallbacks
- ProfileValueChecker

This commit updates code that previously used getAnnotationAttributes()
in AnnotatedElementUtils to use findAnnotationAttributes(), where
appropriate.
Issue: SPR-12738
This commit introduces support in the spring-test module for obtaining a
reference to the underlying target object hidden behind one or more
proxies.
Specifically this commit introduces AopTestUtils with two methods:
- getTargetObject(Object)
- getUltimateTargetObject(Object)
Issue: SPR-13005
Prior to this commit it was possible for two @BootstrapWith annotations
to be 'present' on a test class -- for example, via competing custom
composed annotations. However, only one of the annotations will ever be
used to bootstrap the TestContext Framework. Thus, in such scenarios
one of the annotations will be silently ignored.
This commit introduces a check for such scenarios. BootstrapUtils'
resolveTestContextBootstrapper() method now throws an
IllegalStateException if more than one @BootstrapWith annotation is
'present' on a given test class.
Issue: SPR-12602
Previously MockHttpServletRequestBuilder merge method would append the
parent's (default) RequestPostProcessor implementations to the end. This
means that the default RequestPostProcessor implementations would override
values set by previous RequestPostProcessor implementations.
This commit ensures that the default RequestPostProcessor are preformed
first so that additional RequestPostProcessor implementations override
the defaults.
Issue: SPR-12945
This commit introduces support for finding annotations on abstract,
bridge, and interface methods in AnnotatedElementUtils.
- Introduced dedicated findAnnotationAttributes() methods in
AnnotatedElementUtils that provide first-class support for
processing methods, class hierarchies, interfaces, bridge methods,
etc.
- Introduced find/get search algorithm dichotomy in
AnnotatedElementUtils which is visible in the public API as well as
in the internal implementation. This was necessary in order to
maintain backwards compatibility with the existing API (even though
it was undocumented).
- Reverted all recent changes made to the "get semantics" search
algorithm in AnnotatedElementUtils in order to ensure backwards
compatibility, and reverted recent changes to
JtaTransactionAnnotationParser and SpringTransactionAnnotationParser
accordingly.
- Documented internal AnnotatedElementUtils.Processor<T> interface.
- Enabled failing tests and introduced
findAnnotationAttributesFromBridgeMethod() test in
AnnotatedElementUtilsTests.
- Refactored ApplicationListenerMethodAdapter.getCondition() and
enabled failing test in TransactionalEventListenerTests.
- AnnotationUtils.isInterfaceWithAnnotatedMethods() is now package
private.
Issue: SPR-12738, SPR-11514, SPR-11598
Prior to this commit, AnnotationAttributes retrieved from
MetaAnnotationUtils's AnnotationDescriptor could contain attributes
from the wrong annotation if an inherited annotation shadowed a locally
declared composed annotation.
This commit addresses this issue by invoking the new
getAnnotationAttributes() method in AnnotatedElementUtils that provides
a flag to control whether superclasses should be searched -- which
coincidentally processes local annotations before searching the class
hierarchy.

Since the ContextCache is now a published SPI, it and its collaborators
have been moved to a dedicated 'org.sfw.test.context.cache' subpackage.
Issue: SPR-12683
This commit adds an assertion to DefaultTestContext's
getApplicationContext() method to ensure that a context loaded by the
Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) or retrieved from the ContextCache
is still active. This extra check helps to avoid situations where
developers manually close a cached context instead of relying on the
@DirtiesContext support.
Issue: SPR-12932
The changes made in 0cb22fc8f3 would
result in contexts not being properly closed if evicted from the
ConcurrentReferenceHashMap by the Garbage Collector.
This commit reverts those changes and returns to using standard
ConcurrentHashMaps for the time being.
Issue: SPR-7687
- DefaultBootstrapContext and DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate
are now public classes in the 'support' subpackage.
- Introduced getCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate() in
AbstractTestContextBootstrapper as an extension point for configuring
custom ContextCache support.
- Introduced reflection-based createBootstrapContext() utility method
in BootstrapUtils; TestContextManager now delegates to BootstrapUtils
in order to avoid package cycles.
- Introduced logStatistics() method in the ContextCache API and defined
statistics logging category as a constant.
- DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate now delegates to
ContextCache.logStatistics().
Issue: SPR-12683
This commit moves the responsibility of building a TestContext from the
TestContextManager to a TestContextBootstrapper.
In addition, DefaultTestContext is now a public class residing in the
"support" subpackage.
Issue: SPR-12683
Prior to this commit, the ContextCache in the Spring TestContext
Framework (TCF) cached ApplicationContexts in a ConcurrentHashMap using
strong references. This practice can occasionally lead to
OutOfMemoryErrors when running a large number of tests in a test suite
with varying context configuration since the context cache becomes
overpopulated over time.
This commit addresses this issue by using Spring's
ConcurrentReferenceHashMap which uses SoftReferences for both the keys
(i.e., MergedContextConfiguration instances) and values (i.e.,
ApplicationContexts) stored in the map that backs the ContextCache.
Issue: SPR-7687
Prior to this commit, ClassLevelDirtiesContextTests existed for
verifying the expected behavior of @DirtiesContext declared at the
class level in conjunction with JUnit and SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.
This commit introduces analogous tests for TestNG in the new
ClassLevelDirtiesContextTestNGTests class.
Furthermore, ContextCacheTestUtils and TrackingTestNGTestListener have
been introduced to reduce code duplication across the test suite.
Issue: SPR-12918
This commit increases the extensibility of
AbstractTestContextBootstrapper by making the resolveContextLoader()
and resolveExplicitContextLoaderClass() methods protected instead of
private.
Furthermore, resolveContextLoader() now throws an IllegalStateException
if getDefaultContextLoaderClass() returns null.
Issue: SPR-12682
Prior to this commit it was possible to set or get a static field using
ReflectionTestUtils but only if an instance of the target class was
available.
This commit introduces dedicated support for setting and getting static
fields in ReflectionTestUtils when only the target class is available.
Furthermore, this commit increases the robustness of
ReflectionTestUtilsTests regarding expected exceptions and simplifies
the Javadoc for ReflectionTestUtils.
Issue: SPR-6792
Since SPR-11792, Last-Modified and ETag headers are also written in
`HTTP 304 Not Modified` responses. This is expected as per
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232#section-4.1 .
Those tests expected "Last-Modified" to be missing in case of HTTP 304
responses, which is not the case anymore since 953608ec .
Issue: SPR-11792
Prior to this commit, @DirtiesContext could only be used to close a
test ApplicationContext after an entire test class or after a test
method; however, there are some use cases for which it would be
beneficial to close a test ApplicationContext before a given test class
or test method -- for example, if some rogue (i.e., yet to be
determined) test within a large test suite has corrupted the original
configuration for the ApplicationContext.
This commit provides a solution to such testing challenges by
introducing the following modes for @DirtiesContext.
- MethodMode.BEFORE_METHOD: configured via the new methodMode attribute
- ClassMode.BEFORE_CLASS and ClassMode.BEFORE_EACH_TEST_METHOD: both
configured via the existing classMode attribute
Issue: SPR-12429
This commit updates the Spr8849Tests test suite to include XML
configuration that guarantees that a unique database name is always
automatically generated (via the new 'generate-name' attribute that was
introduced in SPR-8849) while reusing the same bean name (i.e.,
'dataSource').
Issue: SPR-8849
This commit refactors the XML configuration used by the tests in the
Spr8849Tests test suite so that a unique database name is always
generated (via the new 'database-name' attribute that was introduced in
SPR-12835) while reusing the same bean name (i.e., 'dataSource').
This is a much more robust alternative to the previous work-around
since the name of the DataSource does not randomly change across
application contexts, thus allowing proper autowiring by name and bean
referencing within XML configuration.
