trigger "toString()" call on argument for UnsatisfiedDependencyException * fixed method overrides check to accept methods declared on interfaces as well * fixed PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to throw a any circular reference * ResourceEntityResolver catches any kind of Exception in system root URL check (in particular AccessControlException) * DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser trims whitespace from "class" "PreparedStatement.setString" for any CharSequence (including String and StringBuilder) * JdbcTemplate does not check static SQL for bind parameters anymore, to avoid overhead of double parsing * JdbcTemplate's "queryForObject"

Exception throw+catch as far as possible * reworked AbstractBeanFactory's currently-in-creation check to log debug message when unfinished singleton is returned * fixed AbstractBeanFactory to use canonical attributes to the XML bean definition format * refined DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser to explicity check for empty ref name and throw meaningful exception * DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser wraps unexpected getBigDecimal()" if the required type is BigDecimal * fixed SingleColumnRowMapper to explicitly check "ResultSet.wasNull()" after "getInt"/"getLong"/"getFloat" etc * fixed BatchSqlUpdate's constructor

MultiActionController, to be overridden in subclasses * fixed SimpleMappingExceptionResolver to correctly check the depth of all exception mappings before choosing a view * fixed SimpleMappingExceptionResolver Exception throw+catch as far as possible * reworked AbstractBeanFactory's currently-in-creation check to log debug message when unfinished singleton is returned * fixed AbstractBeanFactory to use canonical attributes to the XML bean definition format * refined DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser to explicity check for empty ref name and throw meaningful exception * DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser wraps unexpected

DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser allows for overriding default lazy-init, autowire and dependency-check values Package org.springframework.context * AbstractApplicationContext registers a ClassLoader-aware JBoss JTA compatibility) * relaxed OracleLobHandler's eager "oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection" class check to avoid potential class loader issue Package org.springframework.jms * JmsException returns null absolute paths returned by servlet container too (-> OC4J) * fixed CommonsMultipartResolver to freshly check standard GET request parameters even after a forward/include * added various RequestLoggingFilters:

absolute paths returned by servlet container too (-> OC4J) * fixed CommonsMultipartResolver to freshly check standard GET request parameters even after a forward/include * added various RequestLoggingFilters: unit tests * added overloaded constructor to CustomDateEditor, accepting an exact date length to check (to avoid misinterpretation) * added "searchSystemEnvironment" bean property to PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer explicitly closes the generated keys ResultSet, if any * removed JdbcTemplate's fetchSize/maxRows check to allow for specifying only one and leaving the other at default (0) * fixed SqlFunction's default

to use a post-processing lock (for proper synchronization of annotation scanning) * dependency check "simple" accepts Number, Date, URI, URL and Locale as well (consistent with simple MVC value types) AbstractBeanFactory does not log full exception stack trace (at debug level) on FactoryBean type check anymore * AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory allows for resolving circular reference between beans well, not just against method's declaring class * ProxyFactoryBean and AbstractAutoProxyCreator check autodetected proxy interfaces for visibility in the ClassLoader * Cglib2AopProxy properly detects

well, not just against method's declaring class * ProxyFactoryBean and AbstractAutoProxyCreator check autodetected proxy interfaces for visibility in the ClassLoader * Cglib2AopProxy properly detects AutowireCapableBeanFactory * AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory removes singleton if created for type check in case of circular reference issues * AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory applies specified TypeConverter fixed AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory to always resolve the bean class before a FactoryBean type check * added "freezeConfiguration()" method to Configurable/DefaultListableBeanFactory, allowing for eager
