-### MultiRelease Jar
-
-The `org.springframework.build.multiReleaseJar` plugin configures the project with MultiRelease JAR support.
-It creates a new SourceSet and dedicated tasks for each Java variant considered.
-This can be configured with the DSL, by setting a list of Java variants to configure:
-
-```groovy
-plugins {
-    id 'org.springframework.build.multiReleaseJar'
-}
-
-multiRelease {
-	releaseVersions 21, 24
-}
-```
-
-Note, Java classes will be compiled with the toolchain pre-configured by the project, assuming that its
-Java language version is equal or higher than all variants we consider. Each compilation task will only
-set the "-release" compilation option accordingly to produce the expected bytecode version.

-=== Naming Autodetected Components
-
-When a component is autodetected as part of the scanning process, its bean name is
-generated by the `BeanNameGenerator` strategy known to that scanner.
-
-By default, the `AnnotationBeanNameGenerator` is used. For Spring
-xref:core/beans/classpath-scanning.adoc#beans-stereotype-annotations[stereotype annotations],
-if you supply a name via the annotation's `value` attribute that name will be used as
-the name in the corresponding bean definition. This convention also applies when the
-`@jakarta.inject.Named` annotation is used instead of Spring stereotype annotations.
-
-As of Spring Framework 6.1, the name of the annotation attribute that is used to specify
-the bean name is no longer required to be `value`. Custom stereotype annotations can
-declare an attribute with a different name (such as `name`) and annotate that attribute
-with `@AliasFor(annotation = Component.class, attribute = "value")`. See the source code
-declaration of `ControllerAdvice#name()` for a concrete example.
-
-[WARNING]
-====
-As of Spring Framework 6.1, support for convention-based stereotype names is deprecated
-and will be removed in a future version of the framework. Consequently, custom stereotype
-annotations must use `@AliasFor` to declare an explicit alias for the `value` attribute
-in `@Component`. See the source code declaration of `Repository#value()` and
-`ControllerAdvice#name()` for concrete examples.
-====
-
-If an explicit bean name cannot be derived from such an annotation or for any other
-detected component (such as those discovered by custom filters), the default bean name
-generator returns the uncapitalized non-qualified class name. For example, if the
-following component classes were detected, the names would be `myMovieLister` and

-[TIP]
-====
-If you run into naming conflicts due to multiple autodetected components having the same
-non-qualified class name (for example, classes with identical names but residing in
-different packages), you can configure a `BeanNameGenerator` that defaults to the
-fully-qualified class name for the generated bean name. The
-`FullyQualifiedAnnotationBeanNameGenerator` can be used for such purposes.
-
-As of Spring Framework 7.0, if you encounter naming conflicts among `@Bean` methods in
-`@Configuration` classes, you can alternatively configure a
-`ConfigurationBeanNameGenerator` that generates unique bean names for `@Bean` methods.
-The `FullyQualifiedConfigurationBeanNameGenerator` can be used to generate
-fully-qualified default bean names for `@Bean` methods without an explicit `name`
-attribute — for example, `com.example.MyConfig.myBean` for an `@Bean` method named
-`myBean()` declared in `@Configuration` class `com.example.MyConfig`.
-
-The `FullyQualifiedAnnotationBeanNameGenerator` and
-`FullyQualifiedConfigurationBeanNameGenerator` both reside in the
-`org.springframework.context.annotation` package.
-====
-
-As a general rule, consider specifying the name with the annotation whenever other
-components may be making explicit references to it. On the other hand, the
-auto-generated names are adequate whenever the container is responsible for wiring.
-
-
-[[beans-scanning-scope-resolver]]
-=== Providing a Scope for Autodetected Components
-
-As with Spring-managed components in general, the default and most common scope for
-autodetected components is `singleton`. However, sometimes you need a different scope
-that can be specified by the `@Scope` annotation. You can provide the name of the
-scope within the annotation, as the following example shows:
-
-[tabs]
-======
-Java::
-+

-----
-	@Scope("prototype")
-	@Repository
-	class MovieFinderImpl : MovieFinder {
-		// ...
-	}
-----
-======
-
-NOTE: `@Scope` annotations are only introspected on the concrete bean class (for annotated
-components) or the factory method (for `@Bean` methods). In contrast to XML bean
-definitions, there is no notion of bean definition inheritance, and inheritance
-hierarchies at the class level are irrelevant for metadata purposes.
-
-For details on web-specific scopes such as "`request`" or "`session`" in a Spring context,
-see xref:core/beans/factory-scopes.adoc#beans-factory-scopes-other[Request, Session, Application, and WebSocket Scopes].
-As with the pre-built annotations for those scopes, you may also compose your own scoping
-annotations by using Spring's meta-annotation approach: for example, a custom annotation
-meta-annotated with `@Scope("prototype")`, possibly also declaring a custom scoped-proxy mode.
-
-NOTE: To provide a custom strategy for scope resolution rather than relying on the
-annotation-based approach, you can implement the
-{spring-framework-api}/context/annotation/ScopeMetadataResolver.html[`ScopeMetadataResolver`]
-interface. Be sure to include a default no-arg constructor. Then you can provide the
-fully qualified class name when configuring the scanner, as the following example of both

-=== Providing Qualifier Metadata with Annotations
-
-The `@Qualifier` annotation is discussed in
-xref:core/beans/annotation-config/autowired-qualifiers.adoc[Fine-tuning Annotation-based Autowiring with Qualifiers].
-The examples in that section demonstrate the use of the `@Qualifier` annotation and
-custom qualifier annotations to provide fine-grained control when you resolve autowire
-candidates. Because those examples were based on XML bean definitions, the qualifier
-metadata was provided on the candidate bean definitions by using the `qualifier` or `meta`
-child elements of the `bean` element in the XML. When relying upon classpath scanning for

+The `@Qualifier` annotation is discussed in
+xref:core/beans/annotation-config/autowired-qualifiers.adoc[Fine-tuning Annotation-based Autowiring with Qualifiers].
+The examples in that section demonstrate the use of the `@Qualifier` annotation and
+custom qualifier annotations to provide fine-grained control when you resolve autowire
+candidates. Because those examples were based on XML bean definitions, the qualifier
+metadata was provided on the candidate bean definitions by using the `qualifier` or `meta`
+child elements of the `bean` element in the XML. When relying upon classpath scanning for
+auto-detection of components, you can provide the qualifier metadata with type-level
+annotations on the candidate class. The following three examples demonstrate this
+technique:

+	// ...
+}
+----
+======
+
+NOTE: As with most annotation-based alternatives, keep in mind that the annotation metadata is
+bound to the class definition itself, while the use of XML allows for multiple beans
+of the same type to provide variations in their qualifier metadata, because that
+metadata is provided per-instance rather than per-class.

-== Null-safe Operations on `Optional`
-
-As of Spring Framework 7.0, null-safe operations are supported on instances of
-`java.util.Optional` with transparent unwrapping semantics.
-
-Specifically, when a null-safe operator is applied to an _empty_ `Optional`, it will be
-treated as if the `Optional` were `null`, and the subsequent operation will evaluate to
-`null`. However, if a null-safe operator is applied to a non-empty `Optional`, the
-subsequent operation will be applied to the object contained in the `Optional`, thereby
-effectively unwrapping the `Optional`.
-
-For example, if `user` is of type `Optional<User>`, the expression `user?.name` will
-evaluate to `null` if `user` is either `null` or an _empty_ `Optional` and will otherwise
-evaluate to the `name` of the `user`, effectively `user.get().getName()` or
-`user.get().name` for property or field access, respectively.
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-Invocations of methods defined in the `Optional` API are still supported on an _empty_
-`Optional`. For example, if `name` is of type `Optional<String>`, the expression
-`name?.orElse('Unknown')` will evaluate to `"Unknown"` if `name` is an empty `Optional`
-and will otherwise evaluate to the `String` contained in the `Optional` if `name` is a
-non-empty `Optional`, effectively `name.get()`.
-====
-
-// NOTE: &#8288; is the Unicode Character 'WORD JOINER', which prevents undesired line wraps.
-
-Similarly, if `names` is of type `Optional<List<String>>`, the expression
-`names?.?&#8288;[#this.length > 5]` will evaluate to `null` if `names` is `null` or an _empty_
-`Optional` and will otherwise evaluate to a sequence containing the names whose lengths
-are greater than 5, effectively
-`names.get().stream().filter(s -> s.length() > 5).toList()`.
-
-The same semantics apply to all of the null-safe operators mentioned previously in this
-chapter.

-of https://jspecify.dev/docs/api/org/jspecify/annotations/NullMarked.html[`@NullMarked`] which is typically set
-in Spring projects at the package level via a `package-info.java` file, for example:
-
-[source,java,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages",fold="none"]
-----
-@NullMarked
-package org.springframework.core;
-
-import org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked;
-----
-
-==== Explicit nullability
-
-In `@NullMarked` code, nullable type usage is defined explicitly with
-https://jspecify.dev/docs/api/org/jspecify/annotations/Nullable.html[`@Nullable`].
-
-A key difference between JSpecify `@Nullable` / `@NonNull` annotations and most other variants is that the JSpecify
-annotations are meta-annotated with `@Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)`, so they apply only to type usage. This impacts
-where such annotations should be placed, either to comply with
-https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se17/html/jls-9.html#jls-9.7.4[related Java specifications] or to follow code
-style best practices. From a style perspective, it is recommended to embrace the type-use nature of those annotations
-by placing them on the same line as and immediately preceding the annotated type.
-
-For example, for a field:
-
-[source,java,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-private @Nullable String fileEncoding;
-----
-
-Or for method parameters and method return types:
-
-[source,java,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-public @Nullable String buildMessage(@Nullable String message,
-                                     @Nullable Throwable cause) {
-    // ...
-}
-----
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-When overriding a method, JSpecify annotations are not inherited from the original
-method. That means the JSpecify annotations should be copied to the overriding method if
-you want to override the implementation and keep the same nullability semantics.
-====
-
-https://jspecify.dev/docs/api/org/jspecify/annotations/NonNull.html[`@NonNull`] and
-https://jspecify.dev/docs/api/org/jspecify/annotations/NullUnmarked.html[`@NullUnmarked`] should rarely be needed for
-typical use cases.
-
-==== Arrays and varargs
-
-With arrays and varargs, you need to be able to differentiate the nullness of the elements from the nullness of
-the array itself. Pay attention to the syntax
-https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se17/html/jls-9.html#jls-9.7.4[defined by the Java specification] which may be
-initially surprising. For example, in `@NullMarked` code:
-
-- `@Nullable Object[] array` means individual elements can be `null` but the array itself cannot.
-- `Object @Nullable [] array` means individual elements cannot be `null` but the array itself can.
-- `@Nullable Object @Nullable [] array` means both individual elements and the array can be `null`.
-
-==== Generics
-
-JSpecify annotations apply to generics as well. For example, in `@NullMarked` code:
-
- - `List<String>` means a list of non-null elements (equivalent of `List<@NonNull String>`)
- - `List<@Nullable String>` means a list of nullable elements
-
-Things are a bit more complicated when you are declaring generic types or generic methods. See the related
-https://jspecify.dev/docs/user-guide/#generics[JSpecify generics documentation] for more details.
-
-WARNING: The nullability of generic types and generic methods
-https://github.com/uber/NullAway/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Ajspecify[is not yet fully supported by NullAway].
-
-==== Nested and fully qualified types
-
-The Java specification also enforces that annotations defined with `@Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)` – like JSpecify's
-`@Nullable` annotation – must be declared after the last dot (`.`) within inner or fully qualified type names:
-
-- `Cache.@Nullable ValueWrapper`
-- `jakarta.validation.@Nullable Validator`
-
-
-[[null-safety-guidelines-nullaway]]
-=== NullAway
-
-==== Configuration
-
-The recommended configuration is:
-
- - `NullAway:OnlyNullMarked=true` in order to perform nullability checks only for packages annotated with `@NullMarked`.
- - `NullAway:CustomContractAnnotations=org.springframework.lang.Contract` which makes NullAway aware of the
-{spring-framework-api}/lang/Contract.html[@Contract] annotation in the `org.springframework.lang` package which
-can be used to express complementary semantics to avoid irrelevant warnings in your codebase.
-
-A good example of the benefits of a `@Contract` declaration can be seen with
-{spring-framework-api}/util/Assert.html#notNull(java.lang.Object,java.lang.String)[`Assert.notNull()`]
-which is annotated with `@Contract("null, _ -> fail")`. With that contract declaration, NullAway will understand
-that the value passed as a parameter cannot be null after a successful invocation of `Assert.notNull()`.
-
-Optionally, it is possible to set `NullAway:JSpecifyMode=true` to enable
-https://github.com/uber/NullAway/wiki/JSpecify-Support[checks on the full JSpecify semantics], including annotations on
-arrays, varargs, and generics. Be aware that this mode is
-https://github.com/uber/NullAway/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Ajspecify[still under development] and requires
-JDK 22 or later (typically combined with the `--release` Java compiler flag to configure the
-expected baseline). It is recommended to enable the JSpecify mode only as a second step, after making sure the codebase
-generates no warning with the recommended configuration mentioned previously in this section.
-
-==== Warnings suppression
-
-There are a few valid use cases where NullAway will incorrectly detect nullability problems. In such cases,
-it is recommended to suppress related warnings and to document the reason:
-
- - `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway.Init")` at field, constructor, or class level can be used to avoid unnecessary warnings
-due to the lazy initialization of fields – for example, due to a class implementing
-{spring-framework-api}/beans/factory/InitializingBean.html[`InitializingBean`].
- - `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway") // Dataflow analysis limitation` can be used when NullAway dataflow analysis is not
-able to detect that the path involving a nullability problem will never happen.
- - `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway") // Lambda` can be used when NullAway does not take into account assertions performed
-outside of a lambda for the code path within the lambda.
-- `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway") // Reflection` can be used for some reflection operations that are known to return
-non-null values even if that cannot be expressed by the API.
-- `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway") // Well-known map keys` can be used when `Map#get` invocations are performed with keys
-that are known to be present and when non-null related values have been inserted previously.
-- `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway") // Overridden method does not define nullability` can be used when the superclass does
-not define nullability (typically when the superclass comes from an external dependency).
-- `@SuppressWarnings("NullAway") // See https://github.com/uber/NullAway/issues/1075` can be used when NullAway is not able to detect type variable nullness in generic methods.

-[[null-safety-migrating]]
-== Migrating from Spring null-safety annotations
-
-Spring null-safety annotations {spring-framework-api}/lang/Nullable.html[`@Nullable`],
-{spring-framework-api}/lang/NonNull.html[`@NonNull`],
-{spring-framework-api}/lang/NonNullApi.html[`@NonNullApi`], and
-{spring-framework-api}/lang/NonNullFields.html[`@NonNullFields`] in the `org.springframework.lang` package were
-introduced in Spring Framework 5 when JSpecify did not exist, and the best option at that time was to leverage
-meta-annotations from JSR 305 (a dormant but widespread JSR). They are deprecated as of Spring Framework 7 in favor of
-https://jspecify.dev/docs/start-here/[JSpecify] annotations, which provide significant enhancements such as properly
-defined specifications, a canonical dependency with no split-package issues, better tooling, better Kotlin integration,
-and the capability to specify nullability more precisely for more use cases.
-
-A key difference is that Spring's deprecated null-safety annotations, which follow JSR 305 semantics, apply to fields,
-parameters, and return values; while JSpecify annotations apply to type usage. This subtle difference
-is pretty significant in practice, since it allows developers to differentiate between the nullness of elements and the
-nullness of arrays/varargs as well as to define the nullness of generic types.
-
-That means array and varargs null-safety declarations have to be updated to keep the same semantics. For example
-`@Nullable Object[] array` with Spring annotations needs to be changed to `Object @Nullable [] array` with JSpecify
-annotations. The same applies to varargs.
-
-It is also recommended to move field and return value annotations closer to the type and on the same line, for example:
-
- - For fields, instead of `@Nullable private String field` with Spring annotations, use `private @Nullable String field`
-with JSpecify annotations.
-- For method return types, instead of `@Nullable public String method()` with Spring annotations, use
-`public @Nullable String method()` with JSpecify annotations.
-
-Also, with JSpecify, you do not need to specify `@NonNull` when overriding a type usage annotated with `@Nullable`
-in the super method to "undo" the nullable declaration in null-marked code. Just declare it unannotated, and the
-null-marked defaults will apply (type usage is considered non-null unless explicitly annotated as nullable).
+It is neither necessary nor recommended to add a JSR-305 dependency to the project classpath to
+take advantage of Spring's null-safe APIs. Only projects such as Spring-based libraries that use
+null-safety annotations in their codebase should add `com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2`
+with `compileOnly` Gradle configuration or Maven `provided` scope to avoid compiler warnings.

-= Resilience Features
-
-As of 7.0, the core Spring Framework includes common resilience features, in particular
-<<resilience-annotations-retryable>> and <<resilience-annotations-concurrencylimit>>
-annotations for method invocations as well as <<resilience-programmatic-retry,
-programmatic retry support>>.
-
-
-[[resilience-annotations-retryable]]
-== `@Retryable`
-
-{spring-framework-api}/resilience/annotation/Retryable.html[`@Retryable`] is an annotation
-that specifies retry characteristics for an individual method (with the annotation
-declared at the method level), or for all proxy-invoked methods in a given class hierarchy
-(with the annotation declared at the type level).
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-@Retryable
-public void sendNotification() {
-    this.jmsClient.destination("notifications").send(...);
-}
-----
-
-By default, the method invocation will be retried for any exception thrown: with at most
-3 retry attempts (`maxRetries = 3`) after an initial failure, and a delay of 1 second
-between attempts.
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-A `@Retryable` method will be invoked at least once and retried at most `maxRetries`
-times, where `maxRetries` is the maximum number of retry attempts. Specifically,
-`total attempts = 1 initial attempt + maxRetries attempts`.
-
-For example, if `maxRetries` is set to `4`, the `@Retryable` method will be invoked at
-least once and at most 5 times.
-====
-
-This can be specifically adapted for every method if necessary — for example, by narrowing
-the exceptions to retry via the `includes` and `excludes` attributes. The supplied
-exception types will be matched against an exception thrown by a failed invocation as well
-as nested causes.

-
-{spring-framework-api}/resilience/annotation/ConcurrencyLimit.html[`@ConcurrencyLimit`] is

-class hierarchy (with the annotation declared at the type level).

-
-This is meant to protect the target resource from being accessed from too many threads at
-the same time, similar to the effect of a pool size limit for a thread pool or a
-connection pool that blocks access if its limit is reached.
-
-You may optionally set the limit to `1`, effectively locking access to the target bean
-instance:

-For synchronous invocations, this annotation provides equivalent behavior through
-{spring-framework-api}/aop/interceptor/ConcurrencyThrottleInterceptor.html[`ConcurrencyThrottleInterceptor`]
-which has been available since Spring Framework 1.0 for programmatic use with the AOP
-framework.

-`ApplicationContext`,
-{spring-framework-api}/core/retry/RetryTemplate.html[`RetryTemplate`] provides a

-A {spring-framework-api}/core/retry/RetryListener.html[`RetryListener`] can be registered

-
-Although the factory methods and builder API for `RetryPolicy` cover most common
-configuration scenarios, you can implement a custom `RetryPolicy` for complete control

-The ahead-of-time cache is a JVM feature introduced in Java 24 via
-https://openjdk.org/jeps/483[JEP 483] that can help reduce the startup time and memory
-footprint of Java applications. AOT cache is a natural evolution of
-https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/vm/class-data-sharing.html[Class Data Sharing (CDS)].
-Spring Framework supports both CDS and AOT cache, and it is recommended that you use the
-latter if available in the JVM version you are using (Java 24+).
-
-To use this feature, an AOT cache should be created for the particular classpath of the
-application. It is possible to create this cache on the deployed instance, or during a
-training run performed for example when packaging the application thanks to a hook-point
-provided by the Spring Framework to ease such use case. Once the cache is available, users
-should opt in to use it via a JVM flag.
-
-NOTE: If you are using Spring Boot, it is highly recommended to leverage its
-{spring-boot-docs-ref}/packaging/efficient.html#packaging.efficient.unpacking[executable JAR unpacking support]
-which is designed to fulfill the class loading requirements of both the AOT cache and CDS.
-
-== Creating the cache
-
-An AOT cache can typically be created when the application exits. The Spring Framework
-provides a mode of operation where the process can exit automatically once the
-`ApplicationContext` has refreshed. In this mode, all non-lazy initialized singletons
-have been instantiated, and `InitializingBean#afterPropertiesSet` callbacks have been
-invoked; but the lifecycle has not started, and the `ContextRefreshedEvent` has not yet
-been published.
-
-To create the cache during the training run, it is possible to specify the `-Dspring.context.exit=onRefresh`
-JVM flag to start and then exit your Spring application once the
-`ApplicationContext` has refreshed:

-----
-
-If the AOT cache cannot be enabled or if you have a large number of classes that are not loaded from
-the cache, make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled when creating and using the cache:
-
- - The very same JVM must be used.
- - The classpath must be specified as a JAR or a list of JARs, and avoid the usage of directories and `*` wildcard characters.
- - The timestamps of the JARs must be preserved.
- - When using the cache, the classpath must be the same as the one used to create it, in the same order.
-Additional JARs or directories can be specified *at the end* (but will not be cached).

+Class Data Sharing (CDS) is a https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/vm/class-data-sharing.html[JVM feature]
+that can help reduce the startup time and memory footprint of Java applications.
+
+To use this feature, a CDS archive should be created for the particular classpath of the
+application. The Spring Framework provides a hook-point to ease the creation of the
+archive. Once the archive is available, users should opt in to use it via a JVM flag.
+
+
+== Creating the CDS Archive
+
+A CDS archive for an application can be created when the application exits. The Spring
+Framework provides a mode of operation where the process can exit automatically once the
+`ApplicationContext` has refreshed. In this mode, all non-lazy initialized singletons
+have been instantiated, and `InitializingBean#afterPropertiesSet` callbacks have been
+invoked; but the lifecycle has not started, and the `ContextRefreshedEvent` has not yet
+been published.
+
+To create the archive, two additional JVM flags must be specified:
+
+* `-XX:ArchiveClassesAtExit=application.jsa`: creates the CDS archive on exit
+* `-Dspring.context.exit=onRefresh`: starts and then immediately exits your Spring
+  application as described above
+
+To create a CDS archive, your JDK/JRE must have a base image. If you add the flags above to
+your startup script, you may get a warning that looks like this:
+
+[source,shell,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
+----
+  -XX:ArchiveClassesAtExit is unsupported when base CDS archive is not loaded. Run with -Xlog:cds for more info.
+----
+
+The base CDS archive is usually provided out-of-the-box, but can also be created if needed by issuing the following
+command:
+
+[source,shell,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
+----
+  $ java -Xshare:dump
+----
+
+
+== Using the Archive
+
+Once the archive is available, add `-XX:SharedArchiveFile=application.jsa` to your startup
+script to use it, assuming an `application.jsa` file in the working directory.
+
+To check if the CDS cache is effective, you can use (for testing purposes only, not in production) `-Xshare:on` which
+prints an error message and exits if CDS can't be enabled.
+
+To figure out how effective the cache is, you can enable class loading logs by adding
+an extra attribute: `-Xlog:class+load:file=cds.log`. This creates a `cds.log` with every
+attempt to load a class and its source. Classes that are loaded from the cache should have
+a "shared objects file" source, as shown in the following example:

-Interface client infrastructure from the details of invoking the underlying
-client. There are adapter implementations for `RestClient`, `WebClient`, and
-`RestTemplate`.
-
-Occasionally, it may be useful to intercept client invocations through a decorator
-configurable in the `HttpServiceProxyFactory.Builder`. For example, you can apply
-built-in decorators to suppress 404 exceptions and return a `ResponseEntity` with

-[[rest-http-service-client-group-config]]
-=== HTTP Service Groups
-
-It's trivial to create client proxies with `HttpServiceProxyFactory`, but to have them
-declared as beans leads to repetitive configuration. You may also have multiple
-target hosts, and therefore multiple clients to configure, and even more client proxy
-beans to create.
-
-To make it easier to work with interface clients at scale the Spring Framework provides
-dedicated configuration support. It lets applications focus on identifying HTTP Services
-by group, and customizing the client for each group, while the framework transparently
-creates a registry of client proxies, and declares each proxy as a bean.
-
-An HTTP Service group is simply a set of interfaces that share the same client setup and
-`HttpServiceProxyFactory` instance to create proxies. Typically, that means one group per
-host, but you can have more than one group for the same target host in case the
-underlying client needs to be configured differently.
-
-One way to declare HTTP Service groups is via `@ImportHttpServices` annotations in
-`@Configuration` classes as shown below:
+By default, `RestTemplate` raises `RestClientException` for 4xx and 5xx HTTP status codes.
+To customize this, register an error handler that applies to all responses
+performed through the client:
 
 [source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
 ----
-	@Configuration
-	@ImportHttpServices(group = "echo", types = {EchoServiceA.class, EchoServiceB.class}) // <1>
-	@ImportHttpServices(group = "greeting", basePackageClasses = GreetServiceA.class) // <2>
-	public class ClientConfig {
-	}
-
-----
-<1> Manually list interfaces for group "echo"
-<2> Detect interfaces for group "greeting" under a base package
-
-It is also possible to declare groups programmatically by creating an HTTP Service
-registrar and then importing it:
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-	public class MyHttpServiceRegistrar extends AbstractHttpServiceRegistrar { // <1>
-
-		@Override
-		protected void registerHttpServices(GroupRegistry registry, AnnotationMetadata metadata) {
-			registry.forGroup("echo").register(EchoServiceA.class, EchoServiceB.class); // <2>
-			registry.forGroup("greeting").detectInBasePackages(GreetServiceA.class); // <3>
-		}
-	}
-
-	@Configuration
-	@Import(MyHttpServiceRegistrar.class) // <4>
-	public class ClientConfig {
-	}
-
-----
-<1> Create extension class of `AbstractHttpServiceRegistrar`
-<2> Manually list interfaces for group "echo"
-<3> Detect interfaces for group "greeting" under a base package
-<4> Import the registrar
-
-TIP: You can mix and match `@ImportHttpService` annotations with programmatic registrars,
-and you can spread the imports across multiple configuration classes. All imports
-contribute collaboratively the same, shared `HttpServiceProxyRegistry` instance.
-
-Once HTTP Service groups are declared, add an `HttpServiceGroupConfigurer` bean to
-customize the client for each group. For example:
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-	@Configuration
-	@ImportHttpServices(group = "echo", types = {EchoServiceA.class, EchoServiceB.class})
-	@ImportHttpServices(group = "greeting", basePackageClasses = GreetServiceA.class)
-	public class ClientConfig {
-
-		@Bean
-		public RestClientHttpServiceGroupConfigurer groupConfigurer() {
-			return groups -> {
-				// configure client for group "echo"
-				groups.filterByName("echo").forEachClient((group, clientBuilder) -> ...);
-
-				// configure the clients for all groups
-				groups.forEachClient((group, clientBuilder) -> ...);
-
-				// configure client and proxy factory for each group
-				groups.forEachGroup((group, clientBuilder, factoryBuilder) -> ...);
-			};
-		}
-	}
+	RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
+	restTemplate.setErrorHandler(myErrorHandler);
+	
+	RestTemplateAdapter adapter = RestTemplateAdapter.create(restTemplate);
+	HttpServiceProxyFactory factory = HttpServiceProxyFactory.builderFor(adapter).build();
 ----
 
-TIP: Spring Boot uses an `HttpServiceGroupConfigurer` to add support for client properties
-by HTTP Service group, Spring Security to add OAuth support, and Spring Cloud to add load
-balancing.
-
-As a result of the above, each client proxy is available as a bean that you can
-conveniently autowire by type:
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-	@RestController
-	public class EchoController {
-
-		private final EchoService echoService;
-
-		public EchoController(EchoService echoService) {
-			this.echoService = echoService;
-		}
-
-		// ...
-	}
-----
-
-However, if there are multiple client proxies of the same type, e.g. the same interface
-in multiple groups, then there is no unique bean of that type, and you cannot autowire by
-type only. For such cases, you can work directly with the `HttpServiceProxyRegistry` that
-holds all proxies, and obtain the ones you need by group:
-
-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-	@RestController
-	public class EchoController {
-
-		private final EchoService echoService1;
-
-		private final EchoService echoService2;
-
-		public EchoController(HttpServiceProxyRegistry registry) {
-			this.echoService1 = registry.getClient("echo1", EchoService.class); // <1>
-			this.echoService2 = registry.getClient("echo2", EchoService.class); // <2>
-		}
-
-		// ...
-	}
-----
-<1> Access the `EchoService` client proxy for group "echo1"
-<2> Access the `EchoService` client proxy for group "echo2"

+= Dynamic Language Support
+
+Spring provides comprehensive support for using classes and objects that have been
+defined by using a dynamic language (such as Groovy) with Spring. This support lets
+you write any number of classes in a supported dynamic language and have the Spring
+container transparently instantiate, configure, and dependency inject the resulting
+objects.
+
+Spring's scripting support primarily targets Groovy and BeanShell. Beyond those
+specifically supported languages, the JSR-223 scripting mechanism is supported
+for integration with any JSR-223 capable language provider (as of Spring 4.2),
+for example, JRuby.
+
+You can find fully working examples of where this dynamic language support can be
+immediately useful in xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-scenarios[Scenarios].
+
+
+[[dynamic-language-a-first-example]]
+== A First Example
+
+The bulk of this chapter is concerned with describing the dynamic language support in
+detail. Before diving into all of the ins and outs of the dynamic language support,
+we look at a quick example of a bean defined in a dynamic language. The dynamic
+language for this first bean is Groovy. (The basis of this example was taken from the
+Spring test suite. If you want to see equivalent examples in any of the other
+supported languages, take a look at the source code).
+
+The next example shows the `Messenger` interface, which the Groovy bean is going to
+implement. Note that this interface is defined in plain Java. Dependent objects that
+are injected with a reference to the `Messenger` do not know that the underlying
+implementation is a Groovy script. The following listing shows the `Messenger` interface:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting;
+
+	public interface Messenger {
+
+		String getMessage();
+	}
+----
+
+The following example defines a class that has a dependency on the `Messenger` interface:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting;
+
+	public class DefaultBookingService implements BookingService {
+
+		private Messenger messenger;
+
+		public void setMessenger(Messenger messenger) {
+			this.messenger = messenger;
+		}
+
+		public void processBooking() {
+			// use the injected Messenger object...
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+The following example implements the `Messenger` interface in Groovy:
+
+[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages",fold="none"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting.groovy
+
+	// Import the Messenger interface (written in Java) that is to be implemented
+	import org.springframework.scripting.Messenger
+
+	// Define the implementation in Groovy in file 'Messenger.groovy'
+	class GroovyMessenger implements Messenger {
+
+		String message
+	}
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+To use the custom dynamic language tags to define dynamic-language-backed beans, you
+need to have the XML Schema preamble at the top of your Spring XML configuration file.
+You also need to use a Spring `ApplicationContext` implementation as your IoC
+container. Using the dynamic-language-backed beans with a plain `BeanFactory`
+implementation is supported, but you have to manage the plumbing of the Spring internals
+to do so.
+
+For more information on schema-based configuration, see xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#xsd-schemas-lang[XML Schema-based Configuration]
+.
+====
+
+Finally, the following example shows the bean definitions that effect the injection of the
+Groovy-defined `Messenger` implementation into an instance of the
+`DefaultBookingService` class:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+	<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+		xmlns:lang="http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang"
+		xsi:schemaLocation="
+			http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans https://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
+			http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang https://www.springframework.org/schema/lang/spring-lang.xsd">
+
+		<!-- this is the bean definition for the Groovy-backed Messenger implementation -->
+		<lang:groovy id="messenger" script-source="classpath:Messenger.groovy">
+			<lang:property name="message" value="I Can Do The Frug" />
+		</lang:groovy>
+
+		<!-- an otherwise normal bean that will be injected by the Groovy-backed Messenger -->
+		<bean id="bookingService" class="x.y.DefaultBookingService">
+			<property name="messenger" ref="messenger" />
+		</bean>
+
+	</beans>
+----
+
+The `bookingService` bean (a `DefaultBookingService`) can now use its private `messenger`
+member variable as normal, because the `Messenger` instance that was injected into it is
+a `Messenger` instance. There is nothing special going on here -- just plain Java and
+plain Groovy.
+
+Hopefully, the preceding XML snippet is self-explanatory, but do not worry unduly if it is not.
+Keep reading for the in-depth detail on the whys and wherefores of the preceding configuration.
+
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans]]
+== Defining Beans that Are Backed by Dynamic Languages
+
+This section describes exactly how you define Spring-managed beans in any of the
+supported dynamic languages.
+
+Note that this chapter does not attempt to explain the syntax and idioms of the supported
+dynamic languages. For example, if you want to use Groovy to write certain of the classes
+in your application, we assume that you already know Groovy. If you need further details
+about the dynamic languages themselves, see
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-resources[Further Resources] at the end of
+this chapter.
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-concepts]]
+=== Common Concepts
+
+The steps involved in using dynamic-language-backed beans are as follows:
+
+. Write the test for the dynamic language source code (naturally).
+. Then write the dynamic language source code itself.
+. Define your dynamic-language-backed beans by using the appropriate `<lang:language/>`
+  element in the XML configuration (you can define such beans programmatically by
+  using the Spring API, although you will have to consult the source code for
+  directions on how to do this, as this chapter does not cover this type of advanced configuration).
+  Note that this is an iterative step. You need at least one bean definition for each dynamic
+  language source file (although multiple bean definitions can reference the same source file).
+
+The first two steps (testing and writing your dynamic language source files) are beyond
+the scope of this chapter. See the language specification and reference manual
+for your chosen dynamic language and crack on with developing your dynamic language
+source files. You first want to read the rest of this chapter, though, as
+Spring's dynamic language support does make some (small) assumptions about the contents
+of your dynamic language source files.
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-concepts-xml-language-element]]
+==== The <lang:language/> element
+
+The final step in the list in the xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-beans-concepts[preceding section]
+involves defining dynamic-language-backed bean definitions, one for each bean that you
+want to configure (this is no different from normal JavaBean configuration). However,
+instead of specifying the fully qualified class name of the class that is to be
+instantiated and configured by the container, you can use the `<lang:language/>`
+element to define the dynamic language-backed bean.
+
+Each of the supported languages has a corresponding `<lang:language/>` element:
+
+* `<lang:groovy/>` (Groovy)
+* `<lang:bsh/>` (BeanShell)
+* `<lang:std/>` (JSR-223, for example, with JRuby)
+
+The exact attributes and child elements that are available for configuration depends on
+exactly which language the bean has been defined in (the language-specific sections
+later in this chapter detail this).
+
+[[dynamic-language-refreshable-beans]]
+==== Refreshable Beans
+
+One of the (and perhaps the single) most compelling value adds of the dynamic language
+support in Spring is the "`refreshable bean`" feature.
+
+A refreshable bean is a dynamic-language-backed bean. With a small amount of
+configuration, a dynamic-language-backed bean can monitor changes in its underlying
+source file resource and then reload itself when the dynamic language source file is
+changed (for example, when you edit and save changes to the file on the file system).
+
+This lets you deploy any number of dynamic language source files as part of an
+application, configure the Spring container to create beans backed by dynamic
+language source files (using the mechanisms described in this chapter), and (later,
+as requirements change or some other external factor comes into play) edit a dynamic
+language source file and have any change they make be reflected in the bean that is
+backed by the changed dynamic language source file. There is no need to shut down a
+running application (or redeploy in the case of a web application). The
+dynamic-language-backed bean so amended picks up the new state and logic from the
+changed dynamic language source file.
+
+NOTE: This feature is off by default.
+
+Now we can take a look at an example to see how easy it is to start using refreshable
+beans. To turn on the refreshable beans feature, you have to specify exactly one
+additional attribute on the `<lang:language/>` element of your bean definition. So,
+if we stick with xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-a-first-example[the example] from earlier in
+this chapter, the following example shows what we would change in the Spring XML
+configuration to effect refreshable beans:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<beans>
+
+		<!-- this bean is now 'refreshable' due to the presence of the 'refresh-check-delay' attribute -->
+		<lang:groovy id="messenger"
+				refresh-check-delay="5000" <!-- switches refreshing on with 5 seconds between checks -->
+				script-source="classpath:Messenger.groovy">
+			<lang:property name="message" value="I Can Do The Frug" />
+		</lang:groovy>
+
+		<bean id="bookingService" class="x.y.DefaultBookingService">
+			<property name="messenger" ref="messenger" />
+		</bean>
+
+	</beans>
+----
+
+That really is all you have to do. The `refresh-check-delay` attribute defined on the
+`messenger` bean definition is the number of milliseconds after which the bean is
+refreshed with any changes made to the underlying dynamic language source file.
+You can turn off the refresh behavior by assigning a negative value to the
+`refresh-check-delay` attribute. Remember that, by default, the refresh behavior is
+disabled. If you do not want the refresh behavior, do not define the attribute.
+
+If we then run the following application, we can exercise the refreshable feature.
+(Please excuse the "`jumping-through-hoops-to-pause-the-execution`" shenanigans
+in this next slice of code.) The `System.in.read()` call is only there so that the
+execution of the program pauses while you (the developer in this scenario) go off
+and edit the underlying dynamic language source file so that the refresh triggers
+on the dynamic-language-backed bean when the program resumes execution.
+
+The following listing shows this sample application:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
+	import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
+	import org.springframework.scripting.Messenger;
+
+	public final class Boot {
+
+		public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
+			ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
+			Messenger messenger = (Messenger) ctx.getBean("messenger");
+			System.out.println(messenger.getMessage());
+			// pause execution while I go off and make changes to the source file...
+			System.in.read();
+			System.out.println(messenger.getMessage());
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+Assume then, for the purposes of this example, that all calls to the `getMessage()`
+method of `Messenger` implementations have to be changed such that the message is
+surrounded by quotation marks. The following listing shows the changes that you
+(the developer) should make to the `Messenger.groovy` source file when the
+execution of the program is paused:
+
+[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting
+
+	class GroovyMessenger implements Messenger {
+
+		private String message = "Bingo"
+
+		public String getMessage() {
+			// change the implementation to surround the message in quotes
+			return "'" + this.message + "'"
+		}
+
+		public void setMessage(String message) {
+			this.message = message
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+When the program runs, the output before the input pause will be `I Can Do The Frug`.
+After the change to the source file is made and saved and the program resumes execution,
+the result of calling the `getMessage()` method on the dynamic-language-backed
+`Messenger` implementation is `'I Can Do The Frug'` (notice the inclusion of the
+additional quotation marks).
+
+Changes to a script do not trigger a refresh if the changes occur within the window of
+the `refresh-check-delay` value. Changes to the script are not actually picked up until
+a method is called on the dynamic-language-backed bean. It is only when a method is
+called on a dynamic-language-backed bean that it checks to see if its underlying script
+source has changed. Any exceptions that relate to refreshing the script (such as
+encountering a compilation error or finding that the script file has been deleted)
+results in a fatal exception being propagated to the calling code.
+
+The refreshable bean behavior described earlier does not apply to dynamic language
+source files defined with the `<lang:inline-script/>` element notation (see
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-beans-inline[Inline Dynamic Language Source Files]).
+Additionally, it applies only to beans where changes to the underlying source file can
+actually be detected (for example, by code that checks the last modified date of a
+dynamic language source file that exists on the file system).
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-inline]]
+==== Inline Dynamic Language Source Files
+
+The dynamic language support can also cater to dynamic language source files that are
+embedded directly in Spring bean definitions. More specifically, the
+`<lang:inline-script/>` element lets you define dynamic language source immediately
+inside a Spring configuration file. An example might clarify how the inline script
+feature works:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<lang:groovy id="messenger">
+		<lang:inline-script>
+
+			package org.springframework.scripting.groovy
+
+			import org.springframework.scripting.Messenger
+
+			class GroovyMessenger implements Messenger {
+				String message
+			}
+
+		</lang:inline-script>
+		<lang:property name="message" value="I Can Do The Frug" />
+	</lang:groovy>
+----
+
+If we put to one side the issues surrounding whether it is good practice to define
+dynamic language source inside a Spring configuration file, the `<lang:inline-script/>`
+element can be useful in some scenarios. For instance, we might want to quickly add a
+Spring `Validator` implementation to a Spring MVC `Controller`. This is but a moment's
+work using inline source. (See
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-scenarios-validators[Scripted Validators]
+for such an example.)
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-ctor-injection]]
+==== Understanding Constructor Injection in the Context of Dynamic-language-backed Beans
+
+There is one very important thing to be aware of with regard to Spring's dynamic
+language support. Namely, you can not (currently) supply constructor arguments
+to dynamic-language-backed beans (and, hence, constructor-injection is not available for
+dynamic-language-backed beans). In the interests of making this special handling of
+constructors and properties 100% clear, the following mixture of code and configuration
+does not work:
+
+.An approach that cannot work
+[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting.groovy
+
+	import org.springframework.scripting.Messenger
+
+	// from the file 'Messenger.groovy'
+	class GroovyMessenger implements Messenger {
+
+		GroovyMessenger() {}
+
+		// this constructor is not available for Constructor Injection
+		GroovyMessenger(String message) {
+			this.message = message;
+		}
+
+		String message
+
+		String anotherMessage
+	}
+----
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<lang:groovy id="badMessenger"
+		script-source="classpath:Messenger.groovy">
+		<!-- this next constructor argument will not be injected into the GroovyMessenger -->
+		<!-- in fact, this isn't even allowed according to the schema -->
+		<constructor-arg value="This will not work" />
+
+		<!-- only property values are injected into the dynamic-language-backed object -->
+		<lang:property name="anotherMessage" value="Passed straight through to the dynamic-language-backed object" />
+
+	</lang>
+----
+
+In practice this limitation is not as significant as it first appears, since setter
+injection is the injection style favored by the overwhelming majority of developers
+(we leave the discussion as to whether that is a good thing to another day).
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-groovy]]
+=== Groovy Beans
+
+This section describes how to use beans defined in Groovy in Spring.
+
+The Groovy homepage includes the following description:
+
+"`Groovy is an agile dynamic language for the Java 2 Platform that has many of the
+features that people like so much in languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk, making
+them available to Java developers using a Java-like syntax.`"
+
+If you have read this chapter straight from the top, you have already
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-a-first-example[seen an example] of a Groovy-dynamic-language-backed
+bean. Now consider another example (again using an example from the Spring test suite):
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting;
+
+	public interface Calculator {
+
+		int add(int x, int y);
+	}
+----
+
+The following example implements the `Calculator` interface in Groovy:
+
+[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting.groovy
+
+	// from the file 'calculator.groovy'
+	class GroovyCalculator implements Calculator {
+
+		int add(int x, int y) {
+			x + y
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+The following bean definition uses the calculator defined in Groovy:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<!-- from the file 'beans.xml' -->
+	<beans>
+		<lang:groovy id="calculator" script-source="classpath:calculator.groovy"/>
+	</beans>
+----
+
+Finally, the following small application exercises the preceding configuration:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting;
+
+	import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
+	import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
+
+	public class Main {
+
+		public static void main(String[] args) {
+			ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
+			Calculator calc = ctx.getBean("calculator", Calculator.class);
+			System.out.println(calc.add(2, 8));
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+The resulting output from running the above program is (unsurprisingly) `10`.
+(For more interesting examples, see the dynamic language showcase project for a more
+complex example or see the examples xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-scenarios[Scenarios] later in this chapter).
+
+You must not define more than one class per Groovy source file. While this is perfectly
+legal in Groovy, it is (arguably) a bad practice. In the interests of a consistent
+approach, you should (in the opinion of the Spring team) respect the standard Java
+conventions of one (public) class per source file.
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-groovy-customizer]]
+==== Customizing Groovy Objects by Using a Callback
+
+The `GroovyObjectCustomizer` interface is a callback that lets you hook additional
+creation logic into the process of creating a Groovy-backed bean. For example,
+implementations of this interface could invoke any required initialization methods,
+set some default property values, or specify a custom `MetaClass`. The following listing
+shows the `GroovyObjectCustomizer` interface definition:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	public interface GroovyObjectCustomizer {
+
+		void customize(GroovyObject goo);
+	}
+----
+
+The Spring Framework instantiates an instance of your Groovy-backed bean and then
+passes the created `GroovyObject` to the specified `GroovyObjectCustomizer` (if one
+has been defined). You can do whatever you like with the supplied `GroovyObject`
+reference. We expect that most people want to set a custom `MetaClass` with this
+callback, and the following example shows how to do so:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	public final class SimpleMethodTracingCustomizer implements GroovyObjectCustomizer {
+
+		public void customize(GroovyObject goo) {
+			DelegatingMetaClass metaClass = new DelegatingMetaClass(goo.getMetaClass()) {
+
+				public Object invokeMethod(Object object, String methodName, Object[] arguments) {
+					System.out.println("Invoking '" + methodName + "'.");
+					return super.invokeMethod(object, methodName, arguments);
+				}
+			};
+			metaClass.initialize();
+			goo.setMetaClass(metaClass);
+		}
+
+	}
+----
+
+A full discussion of meta-programming in Groovy is beyond the scope of the Spring
+reference manual. See the relevant section of the Groovy reference manual or do a
+search online. Plenty of articles address this topic. Actually, making use of a
+`GroovyObjectCustomizer` is easy if you use the Spring namespace support, as the
+following example shows:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<!-- define the GroovyObjectCustomizer just like any other bean -->
+	<bean id="tracingCustomizer" class="example.SimpleMethodTracingCustomizer"/>
+
+		<!-- ... and plug it into the desired Groovy bean via the 'customizer-ref' attribute -->
+		<lang:groovy id="calculator"
+			script-source="classpath:org/springframework/scripting/groovy/Calculator.groovy"
+			customizer-ref="tracingCustomizer"/>
+----
+
+If you do not use the Spring namespace support, you can still use the
+`GroovyObjectCustomizer` functionality, as the following example shows:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<bean id="calculator" class="org.springframework.scripting.groovy.GroovyScriptFactory">
+		<constructor-arg value="classpath:org/springframework/scripting/groovy/Calculator.groovy"/>
+		<!-- define the GroovyObjectCustomizer (as an inner bean) -->
+		<constructor-arg>
+			<bean id="tracingCustomizer" class="example.SimpleMethodTracingCustomizer"/>
+		</constructor-arg>
+	</bean>
+
+	<bean class="org.springframework.scripting.support.ScriptFactoryPostProcessor"/>
+----
+
+NOTE: You may also specify a Groovy `CompilationCustomizer` (such as an `ImportCustomizer`)
+or even a full Groovy `CompilerConfiguration` object in the same place as Spring's
+`GroovyObjectCustomizer`. Furthermore, you may set a common `GroovyClassLoader` with custom
+configuration for your beans at the `ConfigurableApplicationContext.setClassLoader` level;
+this also leads to shared `GroovyClassLoader` usage and is therefore recommendable in case of
+a large number of scripted beans (avoiding an isolated `GroovyClassLoader` instance per bean).
+
+[[dynamic-language-beans-bsh]]
+=== BeanShell Beans
+
+This section describes how to use BeanShell beans in Spring.
+
+The https://beanshell.github.io/intro.html[BeanShell homepage] includes the following
+description:
+
+----
+BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable Java source interpreter with dynamic language
+features, written in Java. BeanShell dynamically runs standard Java syntax and
+extends it with common scripting conveniences such as loose types, commands, and method
+closures like those in Perl and JavaScript.
+----
+
+In contrast to Groovy, BeanShell-backed bean definitions require some (small) additional
+configuration. The implementation of the BeanShell dynamic language support in Spring is
+interesting, because Spring creates a JDK dynamic proxy that implements all of the
+interfaces that are specified in the `script-interfaces` attribute value of the
+`<lang:bsh>` element (this is why you must supply at least one interface in the value
+of the attribute, and, consequently, program to interfaces when you use BeanShell-backed
+beans). This means that every method call on a BeanShell-backed object goes through the
+JDK dynamic proxy invocation mechanism.
+
+Now we can show a fully working example of using a BeanShell-based bean that implements
+the `Messenger` interface that was defined earlier in this chapter. We again show the
+definition of the `Messenger` interface:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.scripting;
+
+	public interface Messenger {
+
+		String getMessage();
+	}
+----
+
+The following example shows the BeanShell "`implementation`" (we use the term loosely here)
+of the `Messenger` interface:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	String message;
+
+	String getMessage() {
+		return message;
+	}
+
+	void setMessage(String aMessage) {
+		message = aMessage;
+	}
+----
+
+The following example shows the Spring XML that defines an "`instance`" of the above
+"`class`" (again, we use these terms very loosely here):
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<lang:bsh id="messageService" script-source="classpath:BshMessenger.bsh"
+		script-interfaces="org.springframework.scripting.Messenger">
+
+		<lang:property name="message" value="Hello World!" />
+	</lang:bsh>
+----
+
+See xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-scenarios[Scenarios] for some scenarios
+where you might want to use BeanShell-based beans.
+
+
+[[dynamic-language-scenarios]]
+== Scenarios
+
+The possible scenarios where defining Spring managed beans in a scripting language would
+be beneficial are many and varied. This section describes two possible use cases for the
+dynamic language support in Spring.
+
+[[dynamic-language-scenarios-controllers]]
+=== Scripted Spring MVC Controllers
+
+One group of classes that can benefit from using dynamic-language-backed beans is that
+of Spring MVC controllers. In pure Spring MVC applications, the navigational flow
+through a web application is, to a large extent, determined by code encapsulated within
+your Spring MVC controllers. As the navigational flow and other presentation layer logic
+of a web application needs to be updated to respond to support issues or changing
+business requirements, it may well be easier to effect any such required changes by
+editing one or more dynamic language source files and seeing those changes being
+immediately reflected in the state of a running application.
+
+Remember that, in the lightweight architectural model espoused by projects such as
+Spring, you typically aim to have a really thin presentation layer, with all
+the meaty business logic of an application being contained in the domain and service
+layer classes. Developing Spring MVC controllers as dynamic-language-backed beans lets
+you change presentation layer logic by editing and saving text files. Any
+changes to such dynamic language source files is (depending on the configuration)
+automatically reflected in the beans that are backed by dynamic language source files.
+
+NOTE: To effect this automatic "`pickup`" of any changes to dynamic-language-backed
+beans, you have to enable the "`refreshable beans`" functionality. See
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-refreshable-beans[Refreshable Beans] for a full treatment of this feature.
+
+The following example shows an `org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller` implemented
+by using the Groovy dynamic language:
+
+[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",chomp="-packages"]
+----
+	package org.springframework.showcase.fortune.web
+
+	import org.springframework.showcase.fortune.service.FortuneService
+	import org.springframework.showcase.fortune.domain.Fortune
+	import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView
+	import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller
+
+	import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
+	import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
+
+	// from the file '/WEB-INF/groovy/FortuneController.groovy'
+	class FortuneController implements Controller {
+
+		@Property FortuneService fortuneService
+
+		ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
+				HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {
+			return new ModelAndView("tell", "fortune", this.fortuneService.tellFortune())
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<lang:groovy id="fortune"
+			refresh-check-delay="3000"
+			script-source="/WEB-INF/groovy/FortuneController.groovy">
+		<lang:property name="fortuneService" ref="fortuneService"/>
+	</lang:groovy>
+----
+
+[[dynamic-language-scenarios-validators]]
+=== Scripted Validators
+
+Another area of application development with Spring that may benefit from the
+flexibility afforded by dynamic-language-backed beans is that of validation. It can
+be easier to express complex validation logic by using a loosely typed dynamic language
+(that may also have support for inline regular expressions) as opposed to regular Java.
+
+Again, developing validators as dynamic-language-backed beans lets you change
+validation logic by editing and saving a simple text file. Any such changes is
+(depending on the configuration) automatically reflected in the execution of a
+running application and would not require the restart of an application.
+
+NOTE: To effect the automatic "`pickup`" of any changes to dynamic-language-backed
+beans, you have to enable the 'refreshable beans' feature. See
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc#dynamic-language-refreshable-beans[Refreshable Beans]
+for a full and detailed treatment of this feature.
+
+The following example shows a Spring `org.springframework.validation.Validator`
+implemented by using the Groovy dynamic language (see
+xref:core/validation/validator.adoc[Validation using Spring’s Validator interface]
+for a discussion of the `Validator` interface):
+
+[source,groovy,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	import org.springframework.validation.Validator
+	import org.springframework.validation.Errors
+	import org.springframework.beans.TestBean
+
+	class TestBeanValidator implements Validator {
+
+		boolean supports(Class clazz) {
+			return TestBean.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz)
+		}
+
+		void validate(Object bean, Errors errors) {
+			if(bean.name?.trim()?.size() > 0) {
+				return
+			}
+			errors.reject("whitespace", "Cannot be composed wholly of whitespace.")
+		}
+	}
+----
+
+
+[[dynamic-language-final-notes]]
+== Additional Details
+
+This last section contains some additional details related to the dynamic language support.
+
+[[dynamic-language-final-notes-aop]]
+=== AOP -- Advising Scripted Beans
+
+You can use the Spring AOP framework to advise scripted beans. The Spring AOP
+framework actually is unaware that a bean that is being advised might be a scripted
+bean, so all of the AOP use cases and functionality that you use (or aim to use)
+work with scripted beans. When you advise scripted beans, you cannot use class-based
+proxies. You must use xref:core/aop/proxying.adoc[interface-based proxies].
+
+You are not limited to advising scripted beans. You can also write aspects themselves
+in a supported dynamic language and use such beans to advise other Spring beans.
+This really would be an advanced use of the dynamic language support though.
+
+[[dynamic-language-final-notes-scopes]]
+=== Scoping
+
+In case it is not immediately obvious, scripted beans can be scoped in the same way as
+any other bean. The `scope` attribute on the various `<lang:language/>` elements lets
+you control the scope of the underlying scripted bean, as it does with a regular
+bean. (The default scope is xref:core/beans/factory-scopes.adoc#beans-factory-scopes-singleton[singleton],
+as it is with "`regular`" beans.)
+
+The following example uses the `scope` attribute to define a Groovy bean scoped as
+a xref:core/beans/factory-scopes.adoc#beans-factory-scopes-prototype[prototype]:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+	<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

+
+		<lang:groovy id="messenger" script-source="classpath:Messenger.groovy" scope="prototype">
+			<lang:property name="message" value="I Can Do The RoboCop" />
+		</lang:groovy>
+
+		<bean id="bookingService" class="x.y.DefaultBookingService">
+			<property name="messenger" ref="messenger" />
+		</bean>
+
+	</beans>
+----

+xref:web/webmvc-view/mvc-xslt.adoc#mvc-view-xslt-beandefs[The IoC Container]
+for a full discussion of the scoping support in the Spring Framework.
+
+[[xsd-schemas-lang]]
+=== The `lang` XML schema
+
+The `lang` elements in Spring XML configuration deal with exposing objects that have been
+written in a dynamic language (such as Groovy or BeanShell) as beans in the Spring container.
+
+These elements (and the dynamic language support) are comprehensively covered in
+xref:languages/dynamic.adoc[Dynamic Language Support]. See that section
+for full details on this support and the `lang` elements.
+
+To use the elements in the `lang` schema, you need to have the following preamble at the
+top of your Spring XML configuration file. The text in the following snippet references
+the correct schema so that the tags in the `lang` namespace are available to you:
+
+[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+	<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

+= Bean Definition DSL
+
+Spring Framework supports registering beans in a functional way by using lambdas
+as an alternative to XML or Java configuration (`@Configuration` and `@Bean`). In a nutshell,
+it lets you register beans with a lambda that acts as a `FactoryBean`.
+This mechanism is very efficient, as it does not require any reflection or CGLIB proxies.
+
+In Java, you can, for example, write the following:
+
+[source,java,indent=0]
+----
+	class Foo {}
+
+	class Bar {
+		private final Foo foo;
+		public Bar(Foo foo) {
+			this.foo = foo;
+		}
+	}
+
+	GenericApplicationContext context = new GenericApplicationContext();
+	context.registerBean(Foo.class);
+	context.registerBean(Bar.class, () -> new Bar(context.getBean(Foo.class)));
+----
+
+In Kotlin, with reified type parameters and `GenericApplicationContext` Kotlin extensions,
+you can instead write the following:
+
+[source,kotlin,indent=0]
+----
+	class Foo
+
+	class Bar(private val foo: Foo)
+
+	val context = GenericApplicationContext().apply {
+		registerBean<Foo>()
+		registerBean { Bar(it.getBean()) }
+	}
+----
+
+When the class `Bar` has a single constructor, you can even just specify the bean class,
+the constructor parameters will be autowired by type:
+
+[source,kotlin,indent=0]
+----
+	val context = GenericApplicationContext().apply {
+		registerBean<Foo>()
+		registerBean<Bar>()
+	}
+----
+
+In order to allow a more declarative approach and cleaner syntax, Spring Framework provides
+a {spring-framework-api-kdoc}/spring-context/org.springframework.context.support/-bean-definition-dsl/index.html[Kotlin bean definition DSL]
+It declares an `ApplicationContextInitializer` through a clean declarative API,
+which lets you deal with profiles and `Environment` for customizing
+how beans are registered.
+
+In the following example notice that:
+
+* Type inference usually allows to avoid specifying the type for bean references like `ref("bazBean")`
+* It is possible to use Kotlin top level functions to declare beans using callable references like `bean(::myRouter)` in this example
+* When specifying `bean<Bar>()` or `bean(::myRouter)`, parameters are autowired by type
+* The `FooBar` bean will be registered only if the `foobar` profile is active
+
+[source,kotlin,indent=0]
+----
+	class Foo
+	class Bar(private val foo: Foo)
+	class Baz(var message: String = "")
+	class FooBar(private val baz: Baz)
+
+	val myBeans = beans {
+		bean<Foo>()
+		bean<Bar>()
+		bean("bazBean") {
+			Baz().apply {
+				message = "Hello world"
+			}
+		}
+		profile("foobar") {
+			bean { FooBar(ref("bazBean")) }
+		}
+		bean(::myRouter)
+	}
+
+	fun myRouter(foo: Foo, bar: Bar, baz: Baz) = router {
+		// ...
+	}
+----
+
+NOTE: This DSL is programmatic, meaning it allows custom registration logic of beans
+through an `if` expression, a `for` loop, or any other Kotlin constructs.
+
+You can then use this `beans()` function to register beans on the application context,
+as the following example shows:
+
+[source,kotlin,indent=0]
+----
+	val context = GenericApplicationContext().apply {
+		myBeans.initialize(this)
+		refresh()
+	}
+----
+
+NOTE: Spring Boot is based on JavaConfig and
+{spring-boot-issues}/8115[does not yet provide specific support for functional bean definition],
+but you can experimentally use functional bean definitions through Spring Boot's `ApplicationContextInitializer` support.
+See {stackoverflow-questions}/45935931/how-to-use-functional-bean-definition-kotlin-dsl-with-spring-boot-and-spring-w/46033685#46033685[this Stack Overflow answer]

-[[coroutines.propagation]]
-== Context Propagation
-
-Spring applications are xref:integration/observability.adoc[instrumented with Micrometer for Observability support].
-For tracing support, the current observation is propagated through a `ThreadLocal` for blocking code,
-or the Reactor `Context` for reactive pipelines. But the current observation also needs to be made available
-in the execution context of a suspended function. Without that, the current "traceId" will not be automatically
-prepended to logged statements from coroutines.

-{micrometer-context-propagation-docs}/[Micrometer Context Propagation library] works with Kotlin Coroutines.
-
-It requires the `io.micrometer:context-propagation` dependency and optionally the

-`CoroutinesUtils#invokeSuspendingFunction` (used by Spring to adapt Coroutines to Reactor `Flux` or `Mono`) can be
-enabled by invoking `Hooks.enableAutomaticContextPropagation()`.
-
-Applications can also use `PropagationContextElement` explicitly to augment the `CoroutineContext`
-with the context propagation mechanism:
