BeanReferenceFactoryBean; use the available alias mechanisms instead * reworked CustomScopeConfigurer to only support Scope instances as values for the "scopes" map * DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry keeps singleton beans with a ParserContext argument * moved ComponentDefinition, ReaderContext and support classes from "beans.factory.support" to "beans.factory.parsing" * reworked ReaderEventListener to take AliasDefin te operations without parameter object to SqlMapClientOperations/Template * refined Hibernate3 support to detect Hibernate 3.2's FlushMode.MANUAL as well, while remaining compatible with 3.0/3.1 * factored

the same aspect * added @Order annotation support for @AspectJ style aspects, as alternative to implementing the Ordered interface * redesigned AspectJ support SPI: AspectInstanceFactory, AspectJPointcutAdvisor always injects transactional EntityManager with extended interfaces (if any) * included OpenJPA support classes (OpenJpaDialect, OpenJpaVendorAdapter), tested against OpenJPA 0.9.6 Package org.springframework BeanReferenceFactoryBean; use the available alias mechanisms instead * reworked CustomScopeConfigurer to only support Scope instances as values for the "scopes" map * DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry keeps singleton beans

syntax * added support for 'early access singletons' to AbstractFactoryBean, exposing a proxy in case of a circular reference * ListFactoryBean, SetFactoryBean and MapFactoryBean support exposure of a (in particular AccessControlException) * introduced XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException, with special support for SAXParseException and its location information * XmlBeanDefinitionReader chooses XSD validation updated Groovy support to Groovy 1.0 final * added optional GroovyObjectCustomizer constructor arg to GroovyScriptFactory, to allow for setting a custom MetaClass * updated JRuby support to JRuby 0.9.2

----------------------------------- General * basic scheduling support is included in "spring-context.jar", with only Quartz support added in "spring-support.jar" * all checks for library presence are explicitly 4-compatible "hashCode()" implementations for unions and intersections * MethodMatchers and Pointcuts support IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher for unions and intersections * added pointcut union operation to value as well, simply using the child collection as-is in this case * indexed constructor arguments support collection merging (driven by merge="true", analogous to property values) * BeanDefinitions returned

the JDBC driver * fixed JdbcTemplate's fallback support for batch updates to properly handle InterruptibleBatchPreparedStatementSetters * added scale support to SqlParameter, for declaring numeric RdbmsOperation protected to public * JmsInvokerClientInterceptor/ProxyFactoryBean and JmsInvokerServiceExporter support a configurable MessageConverter Package org.springframework.jndi * TypeMismatchNamingException carries 'foreign' existing synchronization even in case of begin failure * revised OC4JJtaTransactionManager to support the "oracle.j2ee.transaction" package on OC4J later than 10.1.3.2 Package org.springframework.ui

script tags in the "lang" namespace, allowing for non-singleton script objects * updated JRuby support for JRuby 0.9.8 (requiring this version now due to incompatible JRuby API changes) Package org "autocomplete" HTML extension attribute (as supported by IE and Firefox) * JSP InputTag and TextareaTag support the HTML "readonly" element correctly now, only rendering it if specified * JSP CheckboxTag applies ------------------------------------- General * basic scheduling support is included in "spring-context.jar", with only Quartz support added in "spring-support.jar" * all checks for library presence are explicitly

any kind of declared RemoteException as-is Package org.springframework.scripting * updated JRuby support for JRuby 1.0 compatibility (still compatible with JRuby 0.9.8 / 0.9.9 as well) Package org.springframework explicit ServletContext reference to a created RequestContext instance * JSP InputTag, SelectTag etc support expressions as "disabled" and "readonly" attribute values Changes in version 2.0.5 (2007-05-07) the JDBC driver * fixed JdbcTemplate's fallback support for batch updates to properly handle InterruptibleBatchPreparedStatementSetters * added scale support to SqlParameter, for declaring numeric RdbmsOperation

beans * TypeConverterDelegate protects its text conversion step against PropertyEditors which don't support "setValue" calls * DefaultListableBeanFactory throws descriptive exception in case of factory-bean message as well Package org.springframework.orm * JdoTransactionManager and JpaTransactionManager support REQUIRES_NEW transactions in afterCompletion callbacks * fixed Jpa/JdoTransactionManager to correctly TilesConfigurer to explicitly set the factory name to empty String by default * added "accept-charset" support to JSP FormTag Changes in version 2.0.7 (2007-10-01) ------------------------------------- General

* TypeConverterDelegate protects its value conversion step against PropertyEditors which don't support "setValue" calls * PropertyEditorRegistrySupport's "copyCustomEditorsTo" copies all editors if 'nestedProperty' compatibility) * RequestContext lazily obtains the Theme instance (for more efficiency when theme support is not used) * added "getActualValue()" method to BindStatus, exposing the raw property value for any kind of declared RemoteException as-is Package org.springframework.scripting * updated JRuby support for JRuby 1.0 compatibility (still compatible with JRuby 0.9.8 / 0.9.9 as well) Package org.springframework

reduced spring- framework.zip to the minimal binaries * spring.jar does not include Servlet Web MVC support anymore; add spring- webmvc.jar separately * spring.jar and spring-core.jar include repackaged version contains the web ORM support (again), in order to avoid split packages across bundles * spring-web.jar includes the entire Hessian, Burlap, HTTP invoker, JAX-RPC and JAX-WS support (avoiding split packages) namespaces to work without XSD validation as well * updated Spring's JDO support to require JDO 2.0 or higher, with early support for JDO 2.1 features Package org.springframework.aop * revised AdvisedSupport
