Previously, if a `@Cacheable` method was accessed with the same key by
multiple threads, the underlying method was invoked several times instead
of blocking the threads while the value is computed. This scenario
typically affects users that enable caching to avoid calling a costly
method too often. When said method can be invoked by an arbitrary number
of clients on startup, caching has close to no effect.
This commit adds a new method on `Cache` that implements the read-through
pattern:
```
<T> T get(Object key, Callable<T> valueLoader);
```
If an entry for a given key is not found, the specified `Callable` is
invoked to "load" the value and cache it before returning it to the
caller. Because the entire operation is managed by the underlying cache
provider, it is much more easier to guarantee that the loader (e.g. the
annotated method) will be called only once in case of concurrent access.
A new `sync` attribute to the `@Cacheable` annotation has been addded.
When this flag is enabled, the caching abstraction invokes the new
`Cache` method define above. This new mode bring a set of limitations:
* It can't be combined with other cache operations
* Only one `@Cacheable` operation can be specified
* Only one cache is allowed
* `condition` and `unless` attribute are not supported
The rationale behind those limitations is that the underlying Cache is
taking care of the actual caching operation so we can't really apply
any SpEL or multiple caches handling there.

Even though the JSR-107 spec forbids to store null values, our cache
abstraction allows that behaviour with a special handled (and this is
the default behaviour).
While this was working fine with our own set of annotations, the
JSR-107 interceptor counterpart was interpreting the spec sensu strictu.
We now allow for that special case as well.

This commit migrates all remaining tests from JUnit 3 to JUnit 4, with
the exception of Spring's legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework that
is still in use in the spring-orm module.
Issue: SPR-13514
This commit introduces new 'cacheNames' attributes (analogous to the
existing attribute of the same name in @CacheConfig) as aliases for the
'value' attributes in @Cacheable, @CachePut, and @CacheEvict.
In addition, SpringCacheAnnotationParser.getAnnotations() has been
refactored to support synthesized annotations.
Issue: SPR-11393
This commit introduces support in AnnotatedElementUtils for finding
annotations declared on interfaces at the type level.
NB: this commit does not include support for finding annotations
declared on interface methods.
In order to maintain backward compatibility with @Transactional
annotation attribute processing, a new getAnnotationAttributes() method
has been added to AnnotatedElementUtils that provides a flag to control
whether interfaces should be searched.
SpringTransactionAnnotationParser and JtaTransactionAnnotationParser
have been updated accordingly to ensure that interfaces are not
unintentionally searched in the @Transactional resolution process.
This commit also introduces additional tests and updates TODOs for
SPR-12738.
Issue: SPR-12944, SPR-12738
Prior to this commit, the [ant:iajc] tasks logged numerous warnings
regarding incorrect classpath entries. The reason is that the classpath
was constructed with paths that do not physically exist in the file
system (e.g., for projects that do not have test classes or test
folders (yet)).
This commit picks up where ef75bd8 left off and addresses this issue by
assembling the runtime classpath passed to the iajc task with folders
and JARs that actually exist in the filesystem.
Previously, the exception-handler attribute was not taken care of when
task:annotation-driven is used in AspectJ mode. This commit provides the
expected behavior.
Issue: SPR-12619
Previously, cache transaction managers may be retained outside the
boundaries of an application context with AspectJ since an aspect is
basically a singleton for the current class loader.
This commit adds a "clearTransactionManagerCache" that is similar to the
"clearMetadataCache" introduced in CacheAspectSupport: whenever the
context is disposed, the cache is cleared to remove any reference to a
transaction manager defined by that context.
Issue: SPR-12518
This commits complements 222d2b1 for another required dependency.
javax.persistence.Entity was previously required, regardless of which
aspects were actually used by the project. It is now optional and will
not break the build if it is not present. Note that the side effect is that
AnnotationDrivenStaticEntityMockingControl is disabled as well if the
JPA API is not available.
Issue: SPR-6819
Prior to this commit, a project using compile time weaving upgrading to
4.1 was forced to add spring-context-support and the jcache API in order
to build. This problem is not new really: spring-aspects holds all
aspects provided by the framework and they all are evaluated when
compiling. 4.1 just happens to define a new aspect that requires extra
dependencies.
This commit uses a new annotation of AspectJ 1.8.3. When @RequiredTypes
is added on an aspect, it is evaluated only if the classes defined on the
annotation are actually present. If they are not, the aspect is disabled
and does not break the build.
Issue: SPR-12163
Prior to this commit, only @Async annotated methods with proxy style
had an explicit support for ListenableFuture. This commit brings that
support to AspectJ as well.
Issue: SPR-12092
Prior to this commit, only @Async annotated methods with proxy style
had their custom uncaught exception handler applied. This commit
harmonizes the configuration so that AspectJ applies that behaviour as
well.
Issue: SPR-12090
This commit fixes the handling of cached exceptions in the JSR-107
advisor. Such exceptions are now properly propagated instead of being
wrapped in a RuntimeException.
Issue: SPR-9616
Prior to this commit, the CacheResolver was not used by Spring's
caching abstraction. This commit provides the necessary configuration
options to tune how a cache is resolved for a given operation.
CacheResolver can be customized globally, at the operation level or at
the class level. This breaks the CachingConfigurer class and a support
implementation is provided that implements all methods so that the
default is taken if it's not overridden. The JSR-107 support has been
updated as well, with a similar support class.
In particular, the static and runtime information of a cache
operation were mixed which prevents any forms of caching. As the
CacheResolver and the KeyGenerator can be customized, every operation
call lead to a lookup in the context for the bean.
This commit adds CacheOperationMetadata, a static holder of all
the non-runtime metadata about a cache operation. This is used
as an input source for the existing CacheOperationContext.
Caching the operation metadata in an AspectJ aspect can have side
effects as the aspect is static instance for the current ClassLoader.
The metadata cache needs to be cleared when the context shutdowns.
This is essentially a test issue only as in practice each application
runs in its class loader. Tests are now closing the context properly
to honor the DisposableBean callback.
Issue: SPR-11490
This commit adds support for the JSR-107 cache annotations alongside
the Spring's cache annotations, that is @CacheResult, @CachePut,
@CacheRemove and @CacheRemoveAll as well as related annotations
@CacheDefaults, @CacheKey and @CacheValue.
Spring's caching configuration infrastructure detects the presence of
the JSR-107 API and Spring's JCache implementation. Both
@EnableCaching and the cache namespace are able to configure the
required JCache infrastructure when necessary. Both proxy mode
and AspectJ mode are supported.
As JSR-107 permits the customization of the CacheResolver to use for
both regular and exception caches, JCacheConfigurer has been
introduced as an extension of CachingConfigurer and permits to define
those.
If an exception is cached and should be rethrown, it is cloned and
the call stack is rewritten so that it matches the calling thread each
time. If the exception cannot be cloned, the original exception is
returned.
Internally, the interceptors uses Spring's caching abstraction by default
with an adapter layer when a JSR-107 component needs to be called.
This is the case for CacheResolver and CacheKeyGenerator.
The implementation uses Spring's CacheManager abstraction behind the
scene. The standard annotations can therefore be used against any
CacheManager implementation.
Issue: SPR-9616
It is now possible to specify the CacheManager to use per operation.
The related cache annotation now has an extra attribute that defines
the name of the CacheManager bean to use. The cache manager that
was previously used is therefore a 'default' cache manager (i.e. the
one to use if no custom cache manager has been set on the operation).
Issue: SPR-8696
This commit adds an extra parameter to the base @Cache method
annotations: keyGenerator. This parameter holds the name of the
KeyGenerator bean to use to compute the key for that specific
caching endpoint.
This gives therefore a third way to customize the key. These are:
1. Default KeyGenerator (global for all endpoints)
2. The 'key' attribute of the annotation, giving the SpEL expression to use
3. The 'keyGenerator' attribute of the annotation
The annotation attributes are therefore exclusive. Trying to specify
them both will result in an IllegalStateException.
The KeyGenerator to use for a given operation is cached on startup
so that multiple calls to it does not resolve the instance to use over and
over again.
Issue: SPR-10629
Prior to this commit, the codebase was using a mix of log4j.xml
and log4j.properties for test-related logging configuration. This
can be an issue as log4j takes the xml variant first when looking
for a default bootstrap configuration.
In practice, some modules declaring the properties variant were
taking the xml variant configuration from another module.
The general structure of the configuration has also been
harmonized to provide a standard console output as well as an
easy way to enable trace logs for the current module.
This commit introduces static verify() and reset() methods in
AnnotationDrivenStaticEntityMockingControl for programmatic control
on the mock.
