DefaultListableBeanFactory to exclude bean definitions with factory method from pre-instantiation type matching * fixed DefaultListableBeanFactory to pre-instantiate and match beans with factory method properties XML files, for files with ".xml" filename * added "enums" package, containing support for type-safe enums with code and label (working on JDK >= 1.3) * added "styler" package, containing a ToStringCreator springframework.jndi * added "expectedType" bean property to JndiObjectLocator, for eager checking of the type of the located JNDI object Package org.springframework.orm * added sections on JDO, TopLink

AbstractBeanFactory's type determination for "factory-method" into "getTypeForFactoryMethod" template * AbstractBeanFactory does not create beans with "factory-method" if the type can clearly be determined create beans with "factory-bean" for type check if "includeFactoryBeans"=false * DefaultListableBeanFactory matches raw FactoryBean classes against specified type when "includeFactoryBeans"=false * fixed for JMX connector parameters * changed ConnectorServerFactoryBean's "environment" bean property to type Properties, with separate "environmentMap" * added "locateExistingServerIfPossible"/"agentId" properties

unwanted line breaks) * added "getBeanNamesForType" method to ListableBeanFactory interface, also checking FactoryBeans and manual singletons * added "beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors" method to BeanFactoryUtils "lookup(name, requiredType)" convenience method to JndiTemplate, matching the JNDI object against the given type Package org.springframework.mail * introduced MailMessage interface as common interface for SimpleMailMessage TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy * added AbstractLobTypeHandler class for iBATIS SQL Maps 2.0.9, for type handlers that delegate to a Spring LobHandler * added ClobStringTypeHandler, BlobByteArrayTypeHandler
