--------------------------------------- General * introduced complete rewrite of the Spring MVC step-by-step guide for version 2.5 Package org.springframework.aop * fixed garbage collection problem with CGLIB proxies * deprecated JdoTemplate's "attachCopy" methods in favor of revised "makePersistent" with a JDO2-style return value * LocalPersistenceManagerFactoryBean passes the application ClassLoader into "JDOHelper factored out Struts 1.x support (including Tiles 1.x support) into spring-webmvc- struts.jar * Spring-style pattern matching ("*xxx", "xxx*", "*xxx*") supports multi-part patterns as well now ("xxx*yyy")

viceExporter as HttpHandlers for Sun JRE 1.6 * introduced SimpleHttpServerFactoryBean for Spring-style set-up of a Sun JRE 1.6 HttpServer Package org.springframework.samples * PetClinic's JPA version --------------------------------------- General * introduced complete rewrite of the Spring MVC step-by-step guide for version 2.5 Package org.springframework.aop * fixed garbage collection problem with CGLIB proxies deprecated JdoTemplate's "attachCopy" methods in favor of revised "makePersistent" with a JDO2-style return value * LocalPersistenceManagerFactoryBean passes the application ClassLoader into "JDOHelper

dependencies such as request and session references * deprecated AbstractBeanDefinition's Spring 1.2 style "setSingleton" method in favor of Spring 2.0's "setScope" * deprecated BeanDefinitionBuilder's "addConstructorArg" config locations * ClassPathXmlApplicationContext and FileSystemXmlApplicationContext allow for bean-style configuration * StaticApplicationContext builds GenericBeanDefinitions by default (instead of RootBeanDefinitions) "setConfigLocation" method to ConfigurableWeb/PortletApplicationContext, accepting an init-param style value * added "initServletContext(ServletContext)" template method to WebApplicationObjectSupport

definitions * removed default for "abstract"/"singleton" attributes in "spring-beans.dtd", for 2.0-style inheritance for inner beans Package org.springframework.context * synchronized AbstractApplicationContext's aop * added "autodetectInterfaces" property to ProxyFactoryBean, for TransactionProxyFactoryBean-style interface detection * AbstractBeanFactoryBasedTargetSource offers explicit "setTargetClass" method ServletException (for nicer root cause handling) * "contextConfigLocation" params in "web.xml" support "${...}" style placeholders for system properties * deprecated BindUtils and BindInitializer in package "web.bind"
