SPRING FRAMEWORK CHANGELOG ========================== http://www.springsource.org Changes in version 3.0.1 (2010-02-18) ------------------------------------- * upgraded to AspectJ 1.6.8 * full support for JPA 2.0 persistence schema and PersistenceUnitInfo SPI * support for JPA PersistenceContext/Unit injection on Google App Engine * support for Hibernate 3.5 (as native Hibernate API and as JPA 2.0 provider) * support for Tiles 2.2.1 (preserving compatibility with Tiles 2.1.2 and above) * consistent treatment of unresolvable placeholders for Resource and Resource array properties * ConversionFailedException exposes offending value through public "getValue()" method * fixed BeanFactory's "getBeansWithAnnotation" to ignore beans with non-determinable type * widened FactoryBean's "getObjectType" signature to return any Class (Class<?>) * do not ever consider Object as a candidate type for autowiring by type (autowire="byType") * BeanDefinitionReader and ClassPath/FileSystemXmlApplicationContext use varargs where possible * introduced BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor extension to BeanFactoryPostProcessor * @Configuration classes support definition of BeanFactoryPostProcessor beans * component-scan's scoped-proxy attribute applies to scope-annotated singleton beans as well * generic ApplicationListener event type gets detected through AOP proxy as well * ApplicationListeners will only be executed once per event (even for scripted objects) * ApplicationListeners will get detected lazily as well (e.g. on @Bean's concrete result) * inner bean ApplicationListeners will be invoked through their proxy (if any) * fixed SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster's retriever caching to allow for proper removal * context-specific "conversionService" bean may refer to annotation-configured converter beans * refined DefaultLifecycleProcessor's start/stop logging and stop exception handling * DefaultLifecycleProcessor allows for overriding specific hooks in subclasses * BeanNameAutoProxyCreator detects alias matches for specified bean names * proxies with AspectJ pointcuts are fully serializable within a BeanFactory now * SharedEntityManagerCreator's EntityManager proxies are fully serializable now * Query call chaining works with shared EntityManager proxy outside of transaction as well * TransactionInterceptor is able to serialize "transactionManagerBeanName" as well * non-matching @Transactional qualifier value will lead to IllegalStateException * fixed WebSphereUowTransactionManager regression: correctly roll back in case of exception * JndiObjectFactoryBean explicitly only chooses public interfaces as default proxy interfaces * added vararg variants of query methods to JdbcTemplate (as known from SimpleJdbcTemplate) * MBeanClientInterceptor/MBeanProxyFactoryBean understands CompositeData/TabularData arrays * added "workManagerMBeanName" property to JBossWorkManagerTaskExecutor * task:executor's id value is now used as thread name prefix of ThreadPoolTaskExecutor * fixed @Scheduled processing to kick in once only even in an ApplicationContext hierarchy * fixed MediaType's Comparable behavior to do a full comparison, aligned with equals behavior * added "sortBySpecificity" method to MediaType, for typical use with accept header matching * MimeMessageHelper encodes from, to, cc, bcc String addresses with given encoding as well * changed HttpStatus.REQUEST_TOO_LONG constant to REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE * relaxed generic Class declaration in HttpMessageConverter's canRead/canWrite/read signatures * fixed "mvc:view-controller" to work in a fully isolated fashion on Spring Dynamic Modules * DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslator strips trailing slashes as well (can also be turned off) * @RequestParam/RequestHeader/CookieValue's defaultValue allows for declaring empty String * @SessionAttributes works when used on an annotated controller interface with AOP proxying * WebRequest is a resolvable dependency in Servlet/Portlet web application contexts * revised JSP-based views to never fail when trying to set Servlet API forward attributes * lenient evaluation of boolean 'true' attribute expressions in JSP form tag library * added new spring:eval tag for evaluating SpEL expressions from JSP pages * SpringBeanAutowiringSupport works in extra ClassLoaders as well (e.g. WebLogic JAX-WS) Changes in version 3.0.0.GA (2009-12-16) ---------------------------------------- * component scanning autodetects the new EE 6 "javax.annotation.ManagedBean" stereotype * updated JPA 2.0 support to the final spec (tested compatibility with EclipseLink 2.0 GA) * full support for GlassFish V3 GA (includes component scanning and load-time weaving) * upgraded to JRuby 1.4 (while remaining compatible with JRuby 1.1 and above) * bean property names are matched leniently ("title" and "Title"; "ISBN" and "iSBN") * bean properties of type enum array/collection can be populated with comma-separated String * removed getBeansWithAnnotation(Class,boolean,boolean) method from ListableBeanFactory * PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer is compatible with Spring 2.5 extensions (again) * SmartLifecycle beans will get auto-started on demand even if marked as lazy-init * MBeanExporter detects FactoryBean-exported resources independent from declaration order * refactored SpelExpressionParser to accept SpelParserConfiguration object with boolean flags * revised TypeDescriptor's valueOf and forObject factory methods with some level of caching * revised GenericConverter's "getConvertibleTypes" signature to return Set of ConvertiblePair * GenericConversionService prefers matches against inherited interfaces over superclasses * renamed ConverterRegistry's addGenericConverter(GenericConverter) method to addConverter * no default converters for Object-to-Map and Map-To-Object anymore * default converter for String-to-Properties parsing only applies for actual Properties objects * default ObjectToStringConverter only stringifies objects that indicate proper toString behavior * added "converters" property to FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean as well * full support for formatters and formatting annotations on array/collection elements * no default number formatter (relying on plain java.lang.Number parsing and rendering) * no default formatters for Date/Calendar (requiring explicit use of @DateTimeFormat) * BeanValidationPostProcessor runs in before-initialization phase (before init methods) by default * removed MultipartRequest mixin interface again (avoiding a package dependency cycle) * revised RestTemplate method signatures to accept Object values instead of just Strings * revised path variable extraction to properly deal with dots in variable values (again) * reintroduced createBinder template method in Servlet/Portlet AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter Changes in version 3.0.0.RC3 (2009-12-01) ----------------------------------------- * prepared for Grails and ROO requirements * restored compatibility with Apache CXF * fixed bean definition import via "classpath*:" URLs * added chaining-capable "add" method to MutablePropertyValues * constructor arguments can be overridden by name in child bean definitions * BeanDefinitions return isSingleton()=true by default again, with scope name empty * init/destroy methods get processed in the order of declaration at each hierarchy level * fixed lookup of LifecycleProcessor bean in a Spring Dynamic Modules environment * refined lifecycle processing through introduction of startup/shutdown phases * fixed transaction synchronization setup with TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy involved * added support for Hibernate 3.3 RegionFactory cache SPI to LocalSessionFactoryBean * JSR-303 SpringValidatorAdapter uses field name as first argument (analogous to bind errors) * replaced DefaultConversionService with ConversionServiceFactory(Bean) * revised FormatterRegistry interface and FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean setup * mvc:annotation-driven exposes default Validator and ConversionService as
