* Servlet AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter always takes first exact @RequestMapping path match as best path match * @MVC handler methods, model attribute methods and init binder methods allow for overriding jar/zip as well * AbstractApplicationContext's temporary ClassLoader explicitly excludes types to match (for OSGi LTW compatibility) * restored support for null location array argument in ClassPathXmlApplicationContext against system properties * "context:component-scan" explictly ignores directories that accidentally match a specified custom resource pattern * fixed "context:load-time-weaver" to not break post-processor
