Commit 3f387eb9cf refactored and
deprecated TransactionAspectUtils, moving its #qualifiedBeanOfType
and related methods into BeanFactoryUtils. This created a package cycle
between beans.factory and beans.factory.annotation due to use of the
beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier annotation in these methods.
This commit breaks the package cycle by introducing
beans.factory.annotation.BeanFactoryAnnotationUtils and moving these
@Qualifier-related methods to it. It is intentionally similar in name
and style to the familiar BeanFactoryUtils class for purposes of
discoverability.
There are no backward-compatibilty concerns associated with this change
as the cycle was introduced, caught and now fixed before a release.

Prior to this change, Spring's @Async annotation support was tied to a
single AsyncTaskExecutor bean, meaning that all methods marked with
@Async were forced to use the same executor. This is an undesirable
limitation, given that certain methods may have different priorities,
etc. This leads to the need to (optionally) qualify which executor
should handle each method.
This is similar to the way that Spring's @Transactional annotation was
originally tied to a single PlatformTransactionManager, but in Spring
3.0 was enhanced to allow for a qualifier via the #value attribute, e.g.
@Transactional(ptm1)
public void m() { ... }
where ptm1 is either the name of a PlatformTransactionManager bean or
a qualifier value associated with a PlatformTransactionManager bean,
e.g. via the <qualifier> element in XML or the @Qualifier annotation.
This commit introduces the same approach to @Async and its relationship
to underlying executor beans. As always, the following syntax remains
supported
@Async
public void m() { ... }
indicating that calls to #m will be delegated to the default executor,
i.e. the executor provided to
<task:annotation-driven executor=.../>
or the executor specified when authoring a @Configuration class that
implements AsyncConfigurer and its #getAsyncExecutor method.
However, it now also possible to qualify which executor should be used
on a method-by-method basis, e.g.
@Async(e1)
public void m() { ... }
indicating that calls to #m will be delegated to the executor bean
named or otherwise qualified as e1. Unlike the default executor
which is specified up front at configuration time as described above,
the e1 executor bean is looked up within the container on the first
execution of #m and then cached in association with that method for the
lifetime of the container.
Class-level use of Async#value behaves as expected, indicating that all
methods within the annotated class should be executed with the named
executor. In the case of both method- and class-level annotations, any
method-level #value overrides any class level #value.
This commit introduces the following major changes:
- Add @Async#value attribute for executor qualification
- Introduce AsyncExecutionAspectSupport as a common base class for
both MethodInterceptor- and AspectJ-based async aspects. This base
class provides common structure for specifying the default executor
(#setExecutor) as well as logic for determining (and caching) which
executor should execute a given method (#determineAsyncExecutor) and
an abstract method to allow subclasses to provide specific strategies
for executor qualification (#getExecutorQualifier).
- Introduce AnnotationAsyncExecutionInterceptor as a specialization of
the existing AsyncExecutionInterceptor to allow for introspection of
the @Async annotation and its #value attribute for a given method.
Note that this new subclass was necessary for packaging reasons -
the original AsyncExecutionInterceptor lives in
org.springframework.aop and therefore does not have visibility to
the @Async annotation in org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.
This new subclass replaces usage of AsyncExecutionInterceptor
throughout the framework, though the latter remains usable and
undeprecated for compatibility with any existing third-party
extensions.
- Add documentation to spring-task-3.2.xsd and reference manual
explaining @Async executor qualification
- Add tests covering all new functionality
Note that the public API of all affected components remains backward-
compatible.

Prior to this change, roughly 5% (~300 out of 6000+) of files under the
source tree had CRLF line endings as opposed to the majority which have
LF endings.
This change normalizes these files to LF for consistency going forward.
Command used:
$ git ls-files | xargs file | grep CRLF | cut -d":" -f1 | xargs dos2unix
Issue: SPR-5608
Removed formal deprecation warnings for AbstractSingletonFactoryBean and
its TransactionProxyFactoryBean and CacheProxyFactoryBean subclasses.
This is principally because TPFB is still used by Grails and could
conceivably be used to good effect by any third-party framework in a
similar fashion. CPFB is new with 3.1, but similar use is predictable.
Deprecations have been replaced by strong recommendations that users
avoid these types in modern Spring applications and favor the use of
namespaces and annotatinos, such as tx: and @Transactional (around
since Spring 2.x) and cache: and @Cacheable.

isCglibProxy* methods in AopUtils are useful in lower-level modules,
i.e. those that cannot depend on .aop. Therefore copied these methods
to ClassUtils; deprecated the existing ones in AopUtils and now
delegating to the new location; switched all usage of
AopUtils#isCglibProxy* within the framework to use
ClassUtils#isCglibProxy* instead.
This change is in support of certain polymorphism cases in
@Configuration class inheritance hierarchies. Consider the following
scenario:
@Configuration
public abstract class AbstractConfig {
public abstract Object bean();
}
@Configuration
public class ConcreteConfig {
@Override@Bean
public BeanPostProcessor bean() { ... }
}
ConcreteConfig overrides AbstractConfig's #bean() method with a
covariant return type, in this case returning an object of type
BeanPostProcessor. It is critically important that the container
is able to detect the return type of ConcreteConfig#bean() in order
to instantiate the BPP at the right point in the lifecycle.
Prior to this change, the container could not do this.
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory#getTypeForFactoryMethod called
ReflectionUtils#getAllDeclaredMethods, which returned Method objects
for both the Object and BeanPostProcessor signatures of the #bean()
method. This confused the implementation sufficiently as not to
choose a type for the factory method at all. This means that the
BPP never gets detected as a BPP.
The new method being introduced here, #getUniqueDeclaredMethods, takes
covariant return types into account, and filters out duplicates,
favoring the most specific / narrow return type.
Additionally, it filters out any CGLIB 'rewritten' methods, which
is important in the case of @Configuration classes, which are
enhanced by CGLIB. See the implementation for further details.
Revert changes to ParserContext, ReaderContext, and XmlReaderContext
These changes cause cross-version incompatibilities at tooling time
-- for instance, an STS version that ships with Spring 3.0.5
classloads the ParserContext defined in that version, whereas it
classloads NamespaceHandlers and BeanDefinitionParsers (by default)
from the user application classpath, which may be building against
3.1.0. If so, the changes introduced to these types in 3.1.0 are
incompatible with expectations in the 3.0.5 world and cause all
manner of problems. In this case, it was NoSuchMethodError due to
the newly-added XmlReaderContext.getProblemReporter() method; also
IncompatibleClassChangeError due to the introduction of the
ComponentRegistrar interface on ParserContext.
Each of these problems have been mitigated, though the solutions
are not ideal. The method mentioned has been removed, and instead
the problemReporter field is now accessed reflectively.
ParserContext now no longer implements ComponentRegistrar, and
rather a ComponentRegistrarAdapter class has been introduced that
passes method calls through to a ParserContext delegate.
Introduce AbstractSpecificationBeanDefinitionParser
AbstractSpecificationBeanDefinitionParser has been introduced in
order to improve the programming model for BeanDefinitionParsers
that have been refactored to the new FeatureSpecification model.
This new base class and it's template method implementation of
parse/doParse ensure that common concerns like (1) adapting a
ParserContext into a SpecificationContext, (2) setting source and
source name on the specification, and (3) actually executing the
specification are all managed by the base class. The subclass
implementation of doParse need only actually parse XML, populate
and return the FeatureSpecification object. This change removed
the many duplicate 'createSpecificationContext' methods that had
been lingering.
Minor improvement to BeanDefinitionReaderUtils API
Introduced new BeanDefinitionReaderUtils#registerWithGeneratedName
variant that accepts BeanDefinition as opposed to
AbstractBeanDefinition, as BeanDefinition is all that is actually
necessary to satisfy the needs of the method implementation. The
latter variant accepting AbstractBeanDefinition has been deprecated
but remains intact and delegates to the new variant in order to
maintain binary compatibility.
Introduce FeatureSpecification interface and implementations
FeatureSpecification objects decouple the configuration of
spring container features from the concern of parsing XML
namespaces, allowing for reuse in code-based configuration
(see @Feature* annotations below).
* ComponentScanSpec
* TxAnnotationDriven
* MvcAnnotationDriven
* MvcDefaultServletHandler
* MvcResources
* MvcViewControllers
Refactor associated BeanDefinitionParsers to delegate to new impls above
The following BeanDefinitionParser implementations now deal only
with the concern of XML parsing. Validation is handled by their
corresponding FeatureSpecification object. Bean definition creation
and registration is handled by their corresponding
FeatureSpecificationExecutor type.
* ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser
* AnnotationDrivenBeanDefinitionParser (tx)
* AnnotationDrivenBeanDefinitionParser (mvc)
* DefaultServletHandlerBeanDefinitionParser
* ResourcesBeanDefinitionParser
* ViewControllerBeanDefinitionParser
Update AopNamespaceUtils to decouple from XML (DOM API)
Methods necessary for executing TxAnnotationDriven specification
(and eventually, the AspectJAutoProxy specification) have been
added that accept boolean arguments for whether to proxy
target classes and whether to expose the proxy via threadlocal.
Methods that accepted and introspected DOM Element objects still
exist but have been deprecated.
Introduce @FeatureConfiguration classes and @Feature methods
Allow for creation and configuration of FeatureSpecification objects
at the user level. A companion for @Configuration classes allowing
for completely code-driven configuration of the Spring container.
See changes in ConfigurationClassPostProcessor for implementation
details.
See Feature*Tests for usage examples.
FeatureTestSuite in .integration-tests is a JUnit test suite designed
to aggregate all BDP and Feature* related tests for a convenient way
to confirm that Feature-related changes don't break anything.
Uncomment this test and execute from Eclipse / IDEA. Due to classpath
issues, this cannot be compiled by Ant/Ivy at the command line.
Introduce @FeatureAnnotation meta-annotation and @ComponentScan impl
@FeatureAnnotation provides an alternate mechanism for creating
and executing FeatureSpecification objects. See @ComponentScan
and its corresponding ComponentScanAnnotationParser implementation
for details. See ComponentScanAnnotationIntegrationTests for usage
examples
Introduce Default[Formatting]ConversionService implementations
Allows for convenient instantiation of ConversionService objects
containing defaults appropriate for most environments. Replaces
similar support originally in ConversionServiceFactory (which is now
deprecated). This change was justified by the need to avoid use
of FactoryBeans in @Configuration classes (such as
FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean). It is strongly preferred
that users simply instantiate and configure the objects that underlie
our FactoryBeans. In the case of the ConversionService types, the
easiest way to do this is to create Default* subtypes. This also
follows convention with the rest of the framework.
Minor updates to util classes
All in service of changes above. See diffs for self-explanatory
details.
* BeanUtils
* ObjectUtils
* ReflectionUtils
Branch in question is 'env' branch from git://git.springsource.org/sandbox/cbeams.git; merged into
git-svn repository with:
git merge -s recursive -Xtheirs --no-commit env
No merge conflicts, but did need to
git rm spring-build
prior to committing.
With this change, Spring 3.1.0 development is now happening on SVN
trunk. Further commits to the 3.0.x line will happen in an as-yet
uncreated SVN branch. 3.1.0 snapshots will be available
per the usual nightly CI build from trunk.
