This commit rationalizes the use of @Order so that the standard
@Priority annotation can be used instead. The handling of both
annotations are now defined in OrderUtils.
This also updates the link to the JavaEE API so that we refer to
JavaEE7 instead of JavaEE6.

Improved the SAX to StAX (and vice-versa) bridge exposed via StaxUtils.
The old integration had some issues with namespace declaration
attributes, brought to light in a XMLUnit upgrade.
Issue: SPR-11549
Changes introduced in conjunction with issue SPR-11475 altered the
behavior of StandardAnnotationMetadata such that annotations could be
detected on superclasses, specifically in the case where the
AnnotatedElementUtils.getAllAnnotationAttributes() method is invoked to
obtain multiple annotations of the same type (on the lowest level in the
class hierarchy), as is the case for @Profile and @Conditional.
This commit partially reverts these changes as follows:
- All methods in AnnotatedElementUtils now set the
traverseClassHierarchy to false, thereby effectively reverting the
changes made in commit 1d30bf83a0.
Note, however, that the changes made to AnnotationUtils remain in
place.
- Introduced tests in AnnotationMetadataTests that verify behavior
present in Spring Framework 4.0.2 and earlier.
- Updated tests in AnnotatedElementUtilsTests so that they pass against
the reverted changes (i.e., align with the behavior present in Spring
Framework 4.0.2 and earlier).
- Refined Javadoc in AnnotationMetadata with regard to annotations
being "present" vs. "defined".
- Refined Javadoc in AnnotatedTypeMetadata.

Prior to this commit, the ShallowEtagHeaderFilter did not use the
content length given by the content generator to set the
ByteArrayOutputStream's buffer size.
This can lead to performance issues for large content since the buffer
grows as the content is being written.
This commit adds a new ByteArrayOutputStream variant called
ResizableByteArrayOutputStream. This implementation has public methods
for modifying the internal buffer size and does not synchronize on
buffer access.
This commit also make use of this new variant in
ShallowEtagHeaderFilter.
Issue: SPR-8271
Prior to this commit, Spring supported meta-annotation attribute
overrides in custom composed annotations with reflection-based
annotation processing but not with ASM-based annotation processing.
This commit ensures that meta-annotation attribute overrides are
supported in AnnotationMetadataReadingVisitor.getAnnotationAttributes().
Issue: SPR-11574
Also uses addAll instead of iteration over untyped collection now, supporting optimized addAll in target collection type, and avoids repeated getElementTypeDescriptor calls.
Issue: SPR-11479
Prior to this commit, the implementations of findAnnotation() in
AnnotationUtils and getAnnotationAttributes() in AnnotatedElementUtils
favored inherited annotations and inherited composed annotations over
composed annotations that are declared closer to the starting class
passed to these methods.
This commit addresses this issue as follows:
- Refactored AnnotationUtils to use getDeclaredAnnotation() and
getDeclaredAnnotations() instead of getAnnotation() and
getAnnotations() where appropriate.
- AnnotatedElementUtils.doProcess() supports a traverseClassHierarchy
flag to control whether the class hierarchy should be traversed,
using getDeclaredAnnotations() instead of getAnnotations() if the
flag is true.
- Overhauled Javadoc in AnnotatedElementUtils.
Issue: SPR-11475
This commit introduces a new isInJavaLangAnnotationPackage(Annotation)
method in AnnotationUtils. This method is now used in AnnotationUtils,
AnnotatedElementUtils, and MetaAnnotationUtils to ensure that search
algorithms do no search for meta-annotations on annotations in the
"java.lang.annotation" package.
The following are some empirical results from this change:
- The number of times that the findAnnotation(Class,Class,Set) method in
AnnotationUtils is recursively invoked while executing
AnnotationUtilsTests drops from 51 to 29.
- The number of times that the process(AnnotatedElement) method in
AnnotationUtils.AnnotationCollector is recursively invoked while
executing AnnotationUtilsTests.getRepeatableFromMethod() drops
from 16 to 2.
- The number of times that the doProcess() method in
AnnotatedElementUtils is recursively invoked while executing the
"getAnnotationAttributes() On MetaCycleAnnotatedClass with missing
target meta-annotation" test in AnnotatedElementUtilsTests drops
from 23 to 5.
- The number of times that the findAnnotationDescriptor(Class,Set,Class)
method in MetaAnnotationUtils is recursively invoked while executing
the "findAnnotationDescriptor() on MetaCycleAnnotatedClass with
missing target meta-annotation" test in MetaAnnotationUtilsTests drops
from 16 to 8.
Issue: SPR-11483
Prior to this commit, AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(Class, Class)
claimed to recursively search through annotations; however, only one
level of annotations was supported by the algorithm.
This commit alters the search algorithm so that nested meta-annotations
(i.e., meta-annotations on meta-annotations) are also supported.
Issue: SPR-11448
Prior to this commit several test classes named "*Test" were not
recognized as tests by the Gradle build. This is due to the configured
inclusion of '**/*Tests.*' which follows Spring's naming convention for
test classes.
This commit addresses this issue by:
- Renaming real test classes consistently to "*Tests".
- Renaming internal test classes to "*TestCase".
- Renaming @WebTest to @WebTestStereotype.
- Disabling broken tests in AnnoDrivenStaticEntityMockingControlTest.
- Modifying the Gradle build configuration so that classes ending in
either "*Tests" or "*Test" are considered test classes.

This in particular allows for specifying "spring.getenv.ignore" and "spring.beaninfo.ignore" in a local way within the application, in case that JVM-level system properties are locked.
Issue: SPR-9014
Issue: SPR-11297
Provided overloaded versions of `forField` and `forMethodParameter` that
accept a `ResolvableType` implementation type (as opposed to a Class).
Primarily added to allow resolution against implementation types that
have been created programmatically using `forTypeWithGenerics`.
Issue: SPR-11218
Apply consistent styling to new classes introduced in Spring 4.0.
- Javadoc line wrapping, whitespace and formatting
- General code whitespace
- Consistent Assert.notNull messages
Fix remaining Java compiler warnings, mainly around missing
generics or deprecated code.
Also add the `-Werror` compiler option to ensure that any future
warnings will fail the build.
Issue: SPR-11064
Prior to this commit, the getValue(Annotation, String) method in
AnnotationUtils failed to retrieve the value of the desired annotation
attribute if the annotation itself was not public -- for example if the
annotation was declared as package private.
This commit addresses this issue by ensuring that getValue(Annotation,
String) uses reflection to make the desired annotation attribute method
accessible before attempting to invoke it to retrieve the value.
Issue: SPR-11104
Update ResolvableType to check that the resolved component type from
a generic array is not null before attempting to use it to generate the
resolved array class.
Issue: SPR-11044
Introduced a "setCachePatterns(boolean)" method for explicit configuration, a default turnoff threshold at 65536 entries (at which point we're deciding that caching isn't worthwhile because patterns are unlikely to be reoccurring often enough), and an "AntPathStringMatcher getStringMatcher(String pattern)" template method.
Issue: SPR-10803
Spring 3.0 already allows component stereotypes to be used in a
meta-annotation fashion, for example by creating a custom
@TransactionalService stereotype annotation which combines
@Transactional and @Service in a single, reusable, application-specific
annotation. However, the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) currently
does not provide any support for test-related annotations to be used as
meta-annotations.
This commit overhauls the TCF with regard to how annotations are
retrieved and adds explicit support for the following annotations to be
used as meta-annotations in conjunction with the TCF.
- @ContextConfiguration
- @ContextHierarchy
- @ActiveProfiles
- @DirtiesContext
- @IfProfileValue
- @ProfileValueSourceConfiguration
- @BeforeTransaction
- @AfterTransaction
- @TransactionConfiguration
- @Rollback
- @TestExecutionListeners
- @Repeat
- @Timed
- @WebAppConfiguration
Note that meta-annotation support for @Transactional was already
available prior to this commit.
The following is a summary of the major changes included in this commit.
- Now using AnnotationUtils.getAnnotation() instead of
Class.getAnnotation() where appropriate in the TestContext Framework.
- Now using AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation() instead of
Class.isAnnotationPresent() where appropriate in the TestContext
Framework.
- Introduced findAnnotationPrefersInteracesOverLocalMetaAnnotations() in
AnnotationUtilsTests in order to verify the status quo.
- AnnotationUtils.findAnnotationDeclaringClass() and
AnnotationUtils.findAnnotationDeclaringClassForTypes() now support
meta annotations.
- Introduced MetaAnnotationUtils and AnnotationDescriptor in the
spring-test module.
- Introduced UntypedAnnotationDescriptor in MetaAnnotationUtils.
- Introduced findAnnotationDescriptorForTypes() in MetaAnnotationUtils.
- ContextLoaderUtils now uses MetaAnnotationUtils for looking up
@ActiveProfiles as a potential meta-annotation.
- TestContextManager now uses MetaAnnotationUtils for looking up
@TestExecutionListeners as a potential meta-annotation.
- DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener now uses AnnotationUtils for
looking up @DirtiesContext as a potential meta-annotation.
- Introduced DirtiesContextTestExecutionListenerTests.
- ProfileValueUtils now uses AnnotationUtils for looking up
@IfProfileValue and @ProfileValueSourceConfiguration as potential
meta-annotations.
- @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction now support ANNOTATION_TYPE
as a target, allowing them to be used as meta-annotations.
- TransactionalTestExecutionListener now uses AnnotationUtils for
looking up @BeforeTransaction, @AfterTransaction, @Rollback, and
@TransactionConfiguration as potential meta-annotations.
- Introduced TransactionalTestExecutionListenerTests.
- @Repeat and @Timed now support ANNOTATION_TYPE as a target, allowing
them to be used as meta-annotations.
- SpringJUnit4ClassRunner now uses AnnotationUtils for looking up
@Repeat and @Timed as potential meta-annotations.
- Moved all remaining logic for building the MergedContextConfiguration
from the DefaultTestContext constructor to
ContextLoaderUtils.buildMergedContextConfiguration().
- Verified meta-annotation support for @WebAppConfiguration and
@ContextConfiguration.
Issue: SPR-7827
Add getSource() method to ResolvableType and TypeDescriptor allowing
access to the underlying source field or method parameter when possible.
Primarily added to provide access to additional type information or
meta-data that alternative JVM languages may provide.
Issue: SPR-10887
DefaultListableBeanFactory performs a fallback check for autowire candidates now, which GenericTypeAwareAutowireCandidateResolver implements to accept raw type matches if the target class has unresolvable type variables. Full generic matches are still preferred; the BeanFactory will only start looking for fallback matches if the first pass led to an empty result.
Issue: SPR-10993
Issue: SPR-11004
Support repeatable @PropertySource annotations in Java 8 and add
@PropertySources container annotation for Java 6/7. Also add an
ignoreResourceNotFound attribute to @PropertySource allowing missing
property resources to be silently ignored.
This commit also introduces some generally useful methods to
AnnotationUtils for working with @Repeatable annotations.
Issue: SPR-8371
The key contract is MvcUrls. An instance is automatically created with
the Spring MVC namespace and the MVC Java config but can also be easily
created in any configuration.
Some example tests can be found in DefaultMvcUrlsTests.
Issue: SPR-10665, SPR-8826
MvcUriComponentsBuilder allows creating URIs that point to Spring MVC
controller methods annotated with @RequestMapping. It builds them by
exposing a mock method invocation API similar to Mockito, records the
method invocations and thus builds up the URI by inspecting the mapping
annotations and the parameters handed into the method invocations.
Introduced a new SPI UriComponentsContributor that should be implemented
by HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers that actually contribute path segments
or query parameters to a URI. While the newly introduced
MvcUriComponentsBuilder looks up those UriComponentsContributor instances
from the MVC configuration.
The MvcUriComponentsBuilderFactory (name to be discussed - MvcUris maybe?)
prevents the multiple lookups by keeping the UriComponentsBuilder
instances in an instance variable. So an instance of the factory could
be exposed as Spring bean or through a HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to
be injected into Controller methods.
