This commit upgrades the compile dependency on JUnit in the spring-test
module as well as the global test dependency on JUnit for the entire
test suite to 4.11 GA.
In addition, the spring-test module now depends on junit:junit instead
of junit:junit-dep since, as of JUnit 4.11, the "junit" Maven artifact
no longer inlines hamcrest-core.

Replace the gradle dependency on aspectjrt with aspectjweaver since
aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver and the full jar is required
by Spring. SPR-8896 fixed the original code issue, this change
just relates to the generated maven pom.
Issue: SPR-10072
Upgrade to docbook-reference-plugin v0.2.2 and remove custom xsl
styles in favor of plugin defaults. Modify some docbook source
files to work with newer style.
- Defined global slf4jVersion as '1.6.1' in the Gradle build.
- Replaced dependencies on slf4j-log4j12 with slf4j-jcl where possible;
however, spring-test-mvc still depends on jcl-over-slf4j and
slf4j-log4j12 (see SPR-10070).
- Reenabled HibernateSessionFlushingTests.
- Verified that the following tests pass in the Gradle build and within
Eclipse:
- HibernateSessionFlushingTests
- HibernateTransactionManagerTests (Hibernate 3)
- HibernateTransactionManagerTests (Hibernate 4)
- RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessorTests

The previous commit by Juergen Hoeller upgraded spring-orm's Hibernate 3
dependency to 3.3.2.GA, and this commit removes the now unnecessary
dependency on org.hibernate:hibernate-cglib-repack:2.1_3.

This commit ensures that EasyMock version 2.5.2 is used consistently
across the test suite. This applies to both the easymock and
easymockclassextension artifacts. Using the same version for both of
these artifacts helps to better align us for a future upgrade to
EasyMock 3.0 since the Class Extension artifact is deprecated in 3.x
releases of the library.
Issue: SPR-10069
The tiles-request-servlet-wildcard contained only one class that is an
implementation of the tiles-request ServletApplicationContext using a
Spring ApplicationContext to look up resources. It makes sense for this
class to be part of the Spring Tiles 3 integration.
Issue: SPR-10054
Previously when running the tests for spring-web, spring-webmvc,
spring-test-mvc, and spring-orm there were possible collissions in the
classpath due to the fact that each had its own copy of the web.Mock*
classes in it. This causes uncertainty for which class the code was
running against. Furthermore, the maintance of keeping the copies up to
date was tedious.
Now there are two copies of the web.Mock* classes. The ones that exist
in spring-test main sources and a copy that supports servlet 3 within
spring-web test sources. The copy in spring-web test sources has been
moved to a new package to avoid having the classes exist twice on the
classpath within Eclipse.
Previously the workaround for GRADLE-1116 only worked for the
merge-dist.gradle projects
Now the workaround is more generic and fixes errors that have since
been introduced when performing a fresh import into Eclipse.
Previously reflection was required when interacting with Hibernate 4 in
order to support both Hibernate 3 and Hibernate 4 since there were
non-passive changes in the APIs. Now that the Spring build uses Gradle
it is trivial to support multiple Hibernate versions.
This commit removes the reflection usage in orm.hibernate4.* by
creating a spring-orm-hibernate4 module that uses
gradle/merge-artifacts.gradle to build a single artifact but keep
distinct classpaths.

In the course of this enhancement, the "cache.ehcache" and "cache.jcache" packages moved from spring-context to the spring-context-support module, expecting further transaction-related functionality. Also aligns with the presence of Spring's Quartz support in the spring-context-support module, since Quartz and EHCache are sort of sister projects at Terracotta now.
Issue: SPR-9966
The new jdiff task generates a report of API differences between the
current version (i.e. the value of `version` in gradle.properties) and
any older version of the framework, as specified by -DOLD_VERSION at
the command line, or defaulting to `previousVersion` in
gradle.properties.
Running the command requires a separate clone directory pinned to the
desired old version, as specified by -DOLD_VERSION_ROOT at the command
line. This creates challenges from a build automation perspective,
largely because Gradle doesn't (yet) have APIs for working with Git.
This task may be further automated and included in nightly CI runs, but
in the meantime, a number of reports back to 3.1.3.RELEASE have been
generated manually and uploaded to [1], where one can now find the
following entries in the directory listing:
- 3.1.3.RELEASE_to_3.2.0.RC1
- 3.2.0.M1_to_3.2.0.M2
- 3.2.0.M2_to_3.2.0.RC1
- 3.2.0.RC1_to_3.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
Ideally, the final entry there would be kept up-to-date on a daily
basis - again we may revisit doing so in the future. Going forward,
reports will be generated and uploaded manually on an as needed basis
and as part of the release process.
The goal of these reports are as follows:
- to ease the process of ensuring backward compatibility
- to aid in code reviews, particularly when reviewing large pull
requests
- to ease the process of creating migration guides for project
maintainers, i.e. to help us remember what's changed
- to allow ambitious end-users to discover what's been changing at the
API level without without needing to wait for detailed "what's new in
version X" and/or migration guide documentation
See documentation in jdiff.gradle for usage details.
Note that the jdiff-1.1.1 distribution as downloaded from [2] has been
added wholesale to the source tree under gradle/jdiff instead of
uploading JDiff jars to repo.springsource.org as we would normally do.
This is due to some unfortunate limitations in the implementation of the
jdiff ant task that require a phisical JDIFF_HOME directory. Checking in
the jars and various resources represents the simplest and most
pragmatic solution to this problem, though ambitious contributors are
free to do what's necessary to arrive at a more elegant arrangement.

Tiles 3 has modified packages and classes as well as additional
dependencies, notably "tiles-request-api", which is a request/response
abstraction independent of Servlet and JSP APIs.
In order to have both Tiles 2 and Tiles 3 integrations, the source for
the Tiles 3 integration is in a separate project spring-webmvc-tiles3.
The build process merges the compiled Tiles 3 integration classes into
the spring-webmvc module so in effect it contains both the Tiles 2 and
the Tiles 3 integrations.
This change originated as a pull request at spring-framework-issues:
https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework-issues/pull/30
And was additionally updated:

The change removes the use of concrete Matcher implementations and thus
the dependency on hamcrest-lib leaving hamcrest-core as the only
(optional) hamcrest dependency.
Issue: SPR-9961
Prior to this change, zip archives were named
spring-${version}-${classifier}.zip
e.g.:
- spring-3.2.0.RC1-dist.zip
- spring-3.2.0.RC1-docs.zip
- spring-3.2.0.RC1-schema.zip
This commit updates the Gradle build script to ensure that the fully-
qualified 'spring-framework' name is used consistently, such that names
follow the pattern
spring-framework-${version}-${classifier}.zip
This includes the naming of the root-level directory within the -dist
zip.
Issue: SPR-9954
JRuby includes a copy of joda classes with the same package names.
This commit changes the order of the loaded jars to load the original
joda classes first.
1) removed the hamcrest-all dependency requirement and replaced it with
the more focused hamcrest-library dependency
2) added MatcherAssertionErrors as a replacement of
org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert, which in hamcrest 1.1 is only available
through the hamcrest-all dependency (and not in hamcrest-core nor in
the hamcrest embedded in JUnit 4.4 through 4.8)
3) changed the required hamcrest version from 1.1 to 1.3 and made sure
the spring-test-mvc project does not rely on newer hamcrest
functionality without checking if it is available first
Applications that already depend on older versions of hamcrest
(in particular 1.1) via hamcrest-library, hamcrest-all or as part of
junit 4.4 through 4.8 should not be disrupted if they add spring-test
but may wish to exclude the hamcrest-library transitive dependency
from spring-test in order to avoid extra jars in the classpath
Applications that depend on hamcrest 1.3 should not have to do anything
Issue: SPR-9940
This setting was causing failures in the CI build, and was not present
prior to the recent updates to gradle wrapper generation.
This commit also simplifies the gradle wrapper customizations by placing
the logic in a doLast block within the original 'wrapper' task, as
to creating a second wrapper task and extending from the first.

This commit adds the spring-test-mvc project [1] to the Spring
Framework as part of the spring-test module.
The sources are added as a root-level project called "spring-test-mvc"
instead of under "spring-test" because the new sources need to be
compiled with Servlet 3 while the current "spring-test" sources require
Servlet 2.5 and the Eclipse IDE does not support having different
classpaths for the same project.
The Gradle build produces a single spring-test jar that contains
sources from both "spring-test" and "spring-test-mvc". This merge is
made possible through merge-dist.gradle as follows:
- jar tasks of the "from" project execute tasks of the "to" project
- "to" project is added to the classpath of the "from" project
- "to" project pom is updated with entries from the "from" project
For further details see documentation in merge-dist.gradle.

Issue: SPR-9859, SPR-7951
Class#getDeclaredMembers returns arbitrary results under JDK7. This
results in non-deterministic execution of JUnit test methods, often
revealing unintended dependencies between methods that rely on a
specific order to succeed.
JUnit 4.11 contains support for predictable test ordering [1], but at
the time of this commit, JUnit 4.11 has not yet been released.
Therefore we are testing against a snapshot version [2], which has been
uploaded to repo.springsource.org [3] for easy access. Note that this
artifact may be removed when JUnit 4.11 goes GA.
- Care has been taken to ensure that spring-test's compile-time
dependency on JUnit remains at 4.10. This means that the spring-test
pom.xml will continue to have an optional <dependency> on JUnit
4.10, instead of the 4.11 snapshot.
- For reasons not fully understood, the upgrade to the 4.11 snapshot
of junit-dep caused NoSuchMethodErrors around certain Hamcrest
types, particularly CoreMatchers and Matchers. import statements
have been updated accordingly throughout affected test cases.
- Runtime errors also occurred around uses of JUnit @Rule and
ExpectedException. These have been reverted to use simpler
mechanisms like @Test(expected) in the meantime.
- Some test methods with order-based dependencies on one another have
been renamed in order to fall in line with JUnit 4.11's new method
ordering (as opposed to actually fixing the inter-test
dependencies). In other areas, the fix was as simple as adding a
tearDown method and cleaning up state.
- For no apparent reason, the timeout in AspectJAutoProxyCreatorTests'
testAspectsAndAdvisorNotAppliedToPrototypeIsFastEnough method begins
to be exceeded. Prior to this commit the timeout value was 3000 ms;
on the CI server under Linux/JDK6 and JDK7, the test begins taking
anywhere from 3500-5500 ms with this commit. It is presumed that
this is an incidental artifact of the upgrade to JUnit 4.11. In any
case, there are no changes to src/main in this commit, so this
should not actually represent a performance risk for Spring
Framework users. The timeout has been increased to 6000 ms to
accommodate this situation.

Issue: SPR-9783
spring-core, spring-aop and spring-context each have compile-time
dependencies on classes in the aspectjweaver jar. Prior to this commit,
only spring-core declared an optional dependency on it; now all three
do.
Issue: SPR-9683
Historically spring-orm has had an optional dependency on spring-web,
primarily in support of OpenSessionInView functionality. This optional
dependency was inadvertently made required when porting the build to
Gradle. This commit simply reintroduces the optional setting.
Issue: SPR-9632
Prior to this change, the repackaged spring-asm and spring-cglib jars
were being included wholesale in the spring-core jar, whereas the
intention was to include the unzipped classfiles.
This change ensures that spring-asm and spring-cglib jars are unzipped
on the fly when creating the spring-core jar.
Issue: SPR-9669
CGLIB 3 has been released in order to depend on ASM 4, which Spring now
depends on internally (see previous commit).
This commit eliminates spring-beans' optional dependency on cglib-nodep
v2.2 and instead repackages net.sf.cglib => org.springframework.cglib
much in the same way we have historically done with ASM.
This change is beneficial to users in several ways:
- Eliminates the need to manually add CGLIB to the application
classpath; especially important for the growing number of
@Configuration class users. Java-based configuration functionality,
along with proxy-target-class and method injection features now
work 'out of the box' in Spring 3.2.
- Eliminates the possibility of conflicts with other libraries that
may dependend on differing versions of CGLIB, e.g. Hibernate
3.3.1.ga and its dependency on CGLIB 2.1.3 would easily cause a
conflict if the application were depending on CGLIB 3 for
Spring-related purposes.
- Picks up CGLIB 3's changes to support ASM 4, meaning that CGLIB is
that much less likely to work well in a Java 7 environment due to
ASM 4's support for transforming classes with invokedynamic
bytecode instructions.
On CGLIB and ASM:
CGLIB's own dependency on ASM is also transformed along the way to
depend on Spring's repackaged org.springframework.asm, primarily to
eliminate unnecessary duplication of ASM classfiles in spring-core and
in the process save around 100K in the final spring-core JAR file size.
It is coincidental that spring-core and CGLIB currently depend on the
exact same version of ASM (4.0), but it is also unlikely to change any
time soon. If this change does occur and versions of ASM drift, then
the size optimization mentioned above will have to be abandoned. This
would have no compatibility impact, however, so this is a reasonable
solution now and for the forseeable future.
On a mysterious NoClassDefFoundError:
During the upgrade to CGLIB 3.0, Spring test cases began failing due to
NoClassDefFoundErrors being thrown from CGLIB's DebuggingClassWriter
regarding its use of asm-util's TraceClassVisitor type. previous
versions of cglib-nodep, particularly 2.2, did not cause this behavior,
even though cglib-nodep has never actually repackaged and bundled
asm-util classes. The reason for these NoClassDefFoundErrors occurring
now is still not fully understood, but appears to be due to subtle JVM
bytecode preverification rules. The hypothesis is that due to minor
changes in DebuggingClassWriter such as additional casts, access to
instance variables declared in the superclass, and indeed a change in
the superclass hierarchy, preverification may be kicking in on the
toByteArray method body, at which point the reference to the missing
TraceClassVisitor type is noticed and the NCDFE is thrown. For this
reason, a dummy implementation of TraceClassVisitor has been added to
spring-core in the org.springframework.asm.util package. This class
simply ensures that Spring's own tests never result in the NCDFE
described above, and more importantly that Spring's users never
encounter the same.
Other changes include:
- rename package-private Cglib2AopProxy => CglibAopProxy
- eliminate all 'cglibAvailable' checks, warnings and errors
- eliminate all 'CGLIB2' language in favor of 'CGLIB'
- eliminate all mention in reference and java docs of needing to add
cglib(-nodep) to one's application classpath
Issue: SPR-9669
ASM 4.0 is generally compatibile with Java 7 classfiles, particularly
including 'invokedynamic' instructions. This is important when
considering that Spring's component-scanning support is internally
ASM-based and it is increasingly likely that component classes having
invokedynamic instructions may be encountered and read by ASM.
This upgrade, then, is primarily preventive in nature.
Changes include:
- upgrade from ASM 2.2.3 to ASM 4.0
- adapt to ASM API changes as necessary throughout spring-core,
resulting in no impact to the public Spring API.
- remove dedicated spring-asm module
- use new :spring-core:asmRepackJar task to repackage
org.objectweb.asm => org.springframework.asm as per usual and write
repackaged classes directly into spring-core jar
The choice to eliminate the spring-asm module altogether and instead
inline the repackaged classes directly into spring-core is first to
eliminate an otherwise unnecessary second jar. spring-core has a
non-optional dependency on spring-asm meaning it is always on the
application classpath. This change simplifies that situation by
consoliding two jars into one. The second reason for this choice is in
anticipation of upgrading CGLIB to version 3 and inlining it into
spring-core as well. See subsequent commit for details.
Issue: SPR-9669
JarJar 1.3 now uses ASM 4 in order to be compatible with Java 7
'invokedynamic' instructions. This is not an immediate concern for
the classes that we use JarJar to repackage and transform, but is a
timely upgrade in anticipation of the subsequent commits in which we
upgrade Spring's own dependency on ASM from 2.2.3 to 4.0 and Spring's
dependency on CGLIB from 2.2 to 3.0 (which in turn depends on ASM 4.0).

As a result of the refactoring, the AsyncContext dispatch mechanism is
used much more centrally. Effectively every asynchronously processed
request involves one initial (container) thread, a second thread to
produce the handler return value asynchronously, and a third thread
as a result of a dispatch back to the container to resume processing
of the asynchronous resuilt.
Other updates include the addition of a MockAsyncContext and support
of related request method in the test packages of spring-web and
spring-webmvc. Also an upgrade of a Jetty test dependency required
to make tests pass.
