+ remove generic signature on key generator (as the type is not used anywhere)
+ add a small improvement to CacheAspect to nicely handle the cases where the aspect is pulled in but not configured
Consolidates ConversionService and ConverterRegistry interfaces;
implemented by GenericConversionService.
ConfigurablePropertyResolver#getConversionService now returns this
new type (hence so too does
ConfigurableEnvironment#getConversionService). This allows for
convenient addition / removal of Converter instances from Environment's
existing ConversionService. For example:
ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx = new ...
ConfigurableEnvironment env = ctx.getEnvironment();
env.getConversionService().addConverter(new FooConverter());

This reverts commit da914bcfb4 and also
removes the use of Ordered#NOT_ORDERED from EnableTransactionManagement
and ProxyTransactionManagementConfiguration in favor of defaulting to
Ordered#LOWEST_PRIORITY, which is actually the default that results
when no 'order' attribute is specified in XML.
Attempt to access and modify the system environment works on OS X /
Linux but not under Windows. Does not represent any real failure for
production code - the need to modify the system environment is a
testing concern only, and one we can probably live without, considering
the losing battle necessary to make such a hack cross-platform.
Issue: SPR-8245
Constructors have been added to both ContextLoader and
ContextLoaderListener to support instance-based programmatic
registration of listeners within ServletContainerInitializer
implementations in Servlet 3.0+ environments, and more particularly
when using Spring 3.1's WebApplicationInitializer SPI.
Issue: SPR-7672
ContextLoader and FrameworkServlet now use
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator to support @Order usage; previously
supported only implementation of the Ordered interface.
Constructors have been added to both FrameworkServlet and
DispatcherServlet to support instance-based programmatic registration
of Servlets within ServletContainerInitializer implementations in
Servlet 3.0+ environments, and more particularly when using Spring 3.1's
WebApplicationInitializer SPI.
This change also renames the method added to FrameworkServlet in
SPR-8185 from #initializeWebApplicationContext to #applyInitializers.
The reason being that a method named #initWebApplicationContext was
already present and the names overlapped confusingly.
Issue: SPR-7672, SPR-8185
GenericWebApplicationContext now implements
ConfigurableWebApplicationContext in order to be compatible with
Framework/DispatcherServlet and ContextLoader/Listener, especially with
regard to changes in SPR-7672 that allow for programmatic use of these
types within Servlet 3.0+ environments. For the first time, it's now
reasonable to imagine injecting a GWAC into DispatcherServlet; the most
robust way to accommodate this possibility is for GWAC to implement
CWAC.
The implementation is in name only, allowing for interchangable use of
GWAC anywhere, for example, an XWAC could otherwise go. Methods such
as setConfigLocation will throw UnsupportedOperationException if the
configLocation value actually contains text. Other methods are
implemented as no-ops or to throw UOE as appropriate.
Issue: SPR-7672
WebApplicationInitializer provides a programmatic alternative to the
traditional WEB-INF/web.xml servlet container deployment descriptor
for Servlet API 3.0+ environments.
This is done by building atop the new ServletContainerInitializer
support in Servlet 3.0. See SpringServletContainerInitializer for
complete details. And see WebApplicationInitializer Javadoc for
typical usage examples.
Issue: SPR-7672
In support of SPR-7672 which will support code-based configuration
alternatives to web.xml using new features in the Servlet 3.0 API.
This upgrade does *not* force Spring users to upgrade to Servlet 3.0
capable containers. Compatibility with and support for
javax.servlet >= 2.4 remains.
