Defensively catch NoSuchMethodError when calling BDPD.getEnvironment()
and supply a DefaultEnvironment if not available.
Replace the single-arg constructor for BDPD and deprecate, preserving
binary compat particularly for Spring Integration who instantiates
this class directly, which is unusual.
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.
This change broke binary compatibility as evidenced by running
the greenhouse test suite and finding that Spring Integration's
AbstractConsumerEndpointParser.parseInternal fails with
NoSuchMethodError when trying to invoke.
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
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer accommodates recent changes in
Environment and PropertySource APIs, e.g. no longer assuming enumerability
of property names.
PSPC reuses as much functionality as possible from
AbstractPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, but overrides
postProcessBeanFactory() and defines its own variation on
processProperties() in order to accept a PropertyResolver rather than
a PropertySource.
AbstractPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer introduces doProcessProperties()
method to encapsulate that which is actually common, such as the
visiting of each bean definition once a StringValueResolver has been
created in the subclass.
* Environment now extends PropertyResolver
* Environment no longer exposes resolver and sources
* PropertySource is String,Object instead of String,String
* PropertySource no longer assumes enumerability of property names
* Introduced EnumerablePropertySource for those that do have enumerable property names
All existing *Aware interfaces have been refactored to extend this
new marker interface, serving two purposes:
* Easy access to a type hierarchy that can answer the question
"What *Aware interfaces are available?", without requiring
text-based searches. Also clearly excludes false positives like
TargetClassAware and ParamAware, which while similarly named,
are not semantically similar to traditional *Aware interfaces
in Spring.
* Minor potential performance improvements in
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory and
ApplicationContextAwareProcessor. Both have blocks of sequential
instanceof checks in order to invoke any *Aware interface callback
methods. For a bean that implements none of these interfaces,
the whole sequence can be avoided by guarding first with
if (bean instanceof Aware) {
...
}
Implementors of custom *Aware-style interfaces (and presumably
the BeanPostProcessors that handle them), are encouraged to refactor to
extending this interface for consistency with the framework as well as
the points above.
Decomposed Environment interface into PropertySources, PropertyResolver
objects
Environment interface and implementations are still present, but
simpler.
PropertySources container aggregates PropertySource objects;
PropertyResolver provides search, conversion, placeholder
replacement. Single implementation for now is
PropertySourcesPlaceholderResolver
Renamed EnvironmentAwarePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to
PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer
<context:property-placeholder/> now registers PSPC by default, else
PPC if systemPropertiesMode* settings are involved
Refined configuration and behavior of default profiles
See Environment interface Javadoc for details
Added Portlet implementations of relevant interfaces:
* DefaultPortletEnvironment
* PortletConfigPropertySource, PortletContextPropertySource
* Integrated each appropriately throughout Portlet app contexts
Added protected 'createEnvironment()' method to AbstractApplicationContext
Subclasses can override at will to supply a custom Environment
implementation. In practice throughout the framework, this is how
Web- and Portlet-related ApplicationContexts override use of the
DefaultEnvironment and swap in DefaultWebEnvironment or
DefaultPortletEnvironment as appropriate.
Introduced "stub-and-replace" behavior for Servlet- and Portlet-based
PropertySource implementations
Allows for early registration and ordering of the stub, then
replacement with actual backing object at refresh() time.
Added AbstractApplicationContext.initPropertySources() method to
support stub-and-replace behavior. Called from within existing
prepareRefresh() method so as to avoid impact with
ApplicationContext implementations that copy and modify AAC's
refresh() method (e.g.: Spring DM).
Added methods to WebApplicationContextUtils and
PortletApplicationContextUtils to support stub-and-replace behavior
Added comprehensive Javadoc for all new or modified types and members
Added XSD documentation for all new or modified elements and attributes
Including nested <beans>, <beans profile="..."/>, and changes for
certain attributes type from xsd:IDREF to xsd:string
Improved fix for detecting non-file based Resources in
PropertiesLoaderSupport (SPR-7547, SPR-7552)
Technically unrelated to environment work, but grouped in with
this changeset for convenience.
Deprecated (removed) context:property-placeholder
'system-properties-mode' attribute from spring-context-3.1.xsd
Functionality is preserved for those using schemas up to and including
spring-context-3.0. For 3.1, system-properties-mode is no longer
supported as it conflicts with the idea of managing a set of property
sources within the context's Environment object. See Javadoc in
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, AbstractPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
and PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer for details.
Introduced CollectionUtils.toArray(Enumeration<E>, A[])
Work items remaining for 3.1 M2:
Consider repackaging PropertySource* types; eliminate internal use
of SystemPropertyUtils and deprecate
Further work on composition of Environment interface; consider
repurposing existing PlaceholderResolver interface to obviate need
for resolve[Required]Placeholder() methods currently in Environment.
Ensure configurability of placeholder prefix, suffix, and value
separator when working against an AbstractPropertyResolver
Add JNDI-based Environment / PropertySource implementatinos
Consider support for @Profile at the @Bean level
Provide consistent logging for the entire property resolution
lifecycle; consider issuing all such messages against a dedicated
logger with a single category.
Add reference documentation to cover the featureset.
There is no longer a reserved default profile named 'default'. Rather,
users must explicitly specify a default profile or profiles via
ConfigurableEnvironment.setDefaultProfiles(String...)
- or -
spring.profile.default="pD1,pD2"
Per above, the setDefaultProfile(String) method now accepts a variable
number of profile names (one or more). This is symmetrical with the
existing setActiveProfiles(String...) method.
A typical scenario might involve setting both a default profile as a
servlet context property in web.xml and then setting an active profile
when deploying to production.
Before this change, the following properties could be used to manipulate
Spring profile behavior:
-DspringProfiles=p1,p2
-DdefaultSpringProfile=pD
These properties have been renamed to follow usual Java conventions for
property naming:
-Dspring.profile.active=p1,p2
-Dspring.profile.default=pD
'default' is now a reserved profile name, indicating
that any beans defined within that profile will be registered
unless another profile or profiles have been activated.
Examples below are expressed in XML, but apply equally when
using the @Profile annotation.
EXAMPLE 1:
<beans>
<beans profile="default">
<bean id="foo" class="com.acme.EmbeddedFooImpl"/>
</beans>
<beans profile="production">
<bean id="foo" class="com.acme.ProdFooImpl"/>
</beans>
</beans>
In the case above, the EmbeddedFooImpl 'foo' bean will be
registered if:
a) no profile is active
b) the 'default' profile has explicitly been made active
The ProdFooImpl 'foo' bean will be registered if the 'production'
profile is active.
EXAMPLE 2:
<beans profile="default,xyz">
<bean id="foo" class="java.lang.String"/>
</beans>
Bean 'foo' will be registered if any of the following are true:
a) no profile is active
b) 'xyz' profile is active
c) 'default' profile has explicitly been made active
d) both (b) and (c) are true
Note that the default profile is not to be confused with specifying no
profile at all. When the default profile is specified, beans are
registered only if no other profiles are active; whereas when no profile
is specified, bean definitions are always registered regardless of which
profiles are active.
The default profile may be configured programmatically:
environmnent.setDefaultProfile("embedded");
or declaratively through any registered PropertySource, e.g. system properties:
-DdefaultSpringProfile=embedded
Assuming either of the above, example 1 could be rewritten as follows:
<beans>
<beans profile="embedded">
<bean id="foo" class="com.acme.EmbeddedFooImpl"/>
</beans>
<beans profile="production">
<bean id="foo" class="com.acme.ProdFooImpl"/>
</beans>
</beans>
It is unlikely that use of the default profile will make sense in
conjunction with a statically specified 'springProfiles' property.
For example, if 'springProfiles' is specified as a web.xml context
param, that profile will always be active for that application,
negating the possibility of default profile bean definitions ever
being registered.
The default profile is most useful for ensuring that a valid set of
bean definitions will always be registered without forcing users
to explictly specify active profiles. In the embedded vs. production
examples above, it is assumed that the application JVM will be started
with -DspringProfiles=production when the application is in fact in
a production environment. Otherwise, the embedded/default profile bean
definitions will always be registered.
Earlier naming reflected initial conception of 'environment-specific
bean definitions'. This notion has evolved into bean definitions
specific to particular profiles, and the new naming more clearly
expresses it.
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.
