Before this change the StringHttpMessageConverter used a fixed charset
"ISO-8859-1" if the requested content type did not specify one. This
change adds a defaultCharset field and a constructor to configure it in
StringHttpMessageConverter.

Before this change the HandlerExecitionChain logged errors each time a
an AsyncHandlerInterceptor returned a null async Callable, a condition
which is acceptable.

Ensure that NonClosingOutputStream calls with a byte array call the
corresponding methods of the underlying OutputStream rather than
relying on the default NonClosingOutputStream implementation, which
writes one bte at a time. This significantly improves performance.

@Async executor qualification has been backported to 3.1.2. This commit
updates all @since tags appropriately, as well as carrying over the
changes backported to the spring-task-3.1 schema.

Return an empty map when there are no path variables, rather than
raising an exception. This is consistent with similar resolvers for
extracting headers and request parameters.

Following the introduction of ContentNegotiationManager that allows,
among other things, to configure the file extensions to use for content
negotiation, this change adds "smart" suffix pattern match that matches
against the configured file extensions only rather than against any
extension.
Given the request mapping "/jobs/{jobName}" and one configured file
extension ("json"), a request for "/jobs/my.job" will select the
pattern "/jobs/{jobName}" while a request for "/jobs/my.job.json" will
select the pattern "/jobs/{jobName}.json". Previously, both requests
would have resulted in the pattern "/jobs/{jobName}.*".

The exact text above the "Staying in touch" section caused "Staying in
touch" to lose it's formatting as a second-level heading. Adding
" for details" to the sentence above works around the problem.
The HTTP PATCH method is now supported whereever HTTP methods are used.
Annotated controllers can be mapped to RequestMethod.PATCH.
On the client side the RestTemplate execute(..) and exchange(..)
methods can be used with HttpMethod.PATCH. In terms of HTTP client
libraries, Apache HttpComponents HttpClient version 4.2 or later is
required (see HTTPCLIENT-1191). The JDK HttpURLConnection does not
support the HTTP PATCH method.

Introduced ContentNeogtiationStrategy for resolving the requested
media types from an incoming request. The available implementations
are based on path extension, request parameter, 'Accept' header,
and a fixed default content type. The logic for these implementations
is based on equivalent options, previously available only in the
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver.
Also in this commit is ContentNegotiationManager, the central class to
use when configuring content negotiation options. It accepts one or
more ContentNeogtiationStrategy instances and delegates to them.
The ContentNeogiationManager can now be used to configure the
following classes:
- RequestMappingHandlerMappingm
- RequestMappingHandlerAdapter
- ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver
- ContentNegotiatingViewResolver

PropertySourcesPropertyResolver#containsProperty now
calls #containsProperty on each underlying PropertySource instead of
calling #getProperty and checking for null.

The reference manual currently documents the wrong file name for the
default data SQL script used by EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder. In addition,
the testing chapter of the reference manual does not link to the testing
section of the JDBC chapter.
- Updated the "Testing data access logic with an embedded database"
section of the reference manual appropriately.
- Added a new paragraph to the "JDBC Testing Support" section of the
testing chapter which cross references the "Testing data access logic
with an embedded database" section.

Commit aa415d7c0c introduced
JacksonObjectMapperFactoryBean and associated tests, but with Windows
(CRLF) line endings instead of the conventional Unix (LF) line endings.
This commit converts these files to LF endings using the handy
`dos2unix` utility.

Currently, if a factory method is parameterized and the corresponding
variable types are declared on the method itself instead of on the
enclosing class or interface, Spring always predicts the return type to
be Object, even if the return type can be explicitly inferred from the
method signature and supplied arguments (which are available in the bean
definition).
This commit introduces a new resolveParameterizedReturnType() method in
GenericTypeResolver that attempts to infer the concrete type for the
generic return type of a given parameterized method, falling back to the
standard return type if necessary. Furthermore,
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory now delegates to
resolveParameterizedReturnType() when predicting the return type for
factory methods.
resolveParameterizedReturnType() is capable of inferring the concrete
type for return type T for method signatures similar to the following.
Such methods may potentially be static. Also, the formal argument list
for such methods is not limited to a single argument.
- public <T> T foo(Class<T> clazz)
- public <T> T foo(Object obj, Class<T> clazz)
- public <V, T> T foo(V obj, Class<T> clazz)
- public <T> T foo(T obj)

The readme is heavy on links and hard to read in source form when using
typical inline Markdown links. The following changes have been made to
increase readability.
- Wrap lines at 80 characters
- Use 'implicit link name' shortcut syntax as described at [1]
- Add link to 'spring-mvc' Stack Overflow tag as well
- Add link to new 'lifecycle of an issue' wiki doc

Some Spring Framework users and teams cannot use transitive dependency
management tools like Maven, Gradle and Ivy. For them, a `distZip` task
has been added to allow for creating a Spring Framework distribution
from source that includes all optional and required runtime
dependencies for all modules of the framework.
This 'dist-with-deps' zip is not published to the SpringSource
repository nor to the SpringSource community download page. It is
strictly an optional task introduced as a convenience to the users
mentioned above.
Detailed instructions for building this zip locally have been added to
the wiki and the README has been updated with a link to that new doc.

The BeanFactory makes it easier to configure a customized Jackson
ObjectMapper (for example enable/disable certain features).
This bean factory is usually used with
MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter or MappingJacksonJsonView.
See JavaDoc for examples.

Previously MediaType could only parse double-quoted parameters without
raising an IllegalArgumentException. Now parameters can also be
single-quoted.
Issue: SPR-8917
The failure of the conversion service is not fatal, but the check that
was in there (line 248) was inadequate to detect the cases that could
already be handled by the default property editors. This code path
was also not tested anywhere in spring-beans tests until now.
HttpStatus cannot be created with an unknown status code. If a server
returns a status code that's not in the HttpStatus enum values, an
IllegalArgumentException is raised. Rather than allowing it to
propagate as such, this change ensures the actual exception raised is
a RestClientException.
Issue: SPR-9406
A recent commit made aopalliance optional for spring-aop, while
continuing to require it for spring-tx. On review, this is probably
overly aggressive, and for convenience aopalliance should remain
required for spring-aop. There are use cases for which aopalliance is
indeed optional, but core functionality such as <aop:scoped-proxy>
should never result in a ClassNotFoundException.
This commit returns the aopalliance dependency for spring-aop to
required status, and also explicitly notes the same dependency in other
modules that compile directly against aopalliance types.
Issue: SPR-9501
The junit:junit Maven artifact includes a bundled version of hamcrest
core. For projects that depend on later versions of hamcrest this causes
significant issues in terms of dependency management.
The spring-test module now depends on junit:junit-dep, thus allowing
developers to better manage their test dependencies on a more fine
grained level.
Also tidied up dependency issues regarding hamcrest-core and
hamcrest-all across the build.
