Configurable/DefaultListableBeanFactory, allowing for eager metadata caching * revised bean destruction logging to log at WARN level with exception toString only (full exception at DEBUG level) * AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor HessianClientInterceptor and BurlapClientInterceptor expose the bean ClassLoader as thread context CL (if necessary) * added overloaded "executeRequest" method with original MethodInvocation argument HessianServlet * HessianServiceExporter and BurlapServiceExporter expose the bean ClassLoader as thread context CL (if necessary) * factored out stream-based HessianExporter and BurlapExporter classes * factored out

yBean and AbstractAutoProxyCreator * CustomizableTraceInterceptor hides proxy class names even in log replacement strings (if hideProxyClassNames=true) * CustomizableTraceInterceptor properly escapes a specific bean * BeanConfigurerSupport (@Configurable processing) includes type of bean in warn log when called in unconfigured state * restored BeanConfigurerSupport's silent skipping in case of no alternative to a String argument) to StringUtils * removed Commons Log usage from SystemPropertyUtils, ClassUtils, FileCopyUtils (avoiding early Log4J initialization) * revised CachingMapDecorator to expose all

ProxyFactoryBean assumes a target bean if type cannot be determined for last element in "interceptorNames" list * AbstractAutoProxyCreator predicts proxy class as bean type if known already (instead of predicting "getEarlyBeanReference" hook to SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor interface * AbstractBeanFactory does not log full exception stack trace (at debug level) on FactoryBean type check anymore * AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory Configurable/DefaultListableBeanFactory, allowing for eager metadata caching * revised bean destruction logging to log at WARN level with exception toString only (full exception at DEBUG level) * AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor

turned visibility of BeanDefinitionParserDelegate's "checkNameUniqueness" method to protected * XML list/set/map elements (in both the beans and the util namespace) support nested description element Package HibernateTemplate's "loadAll" operation selects distinct root entities (avoiding duplicate entries in result list) * HibernateTemplate translates Hibernate's DataException into a Spring DataIntegrityViolationException * TransactionSynchronizationManager interaction gets logged at trace level only (minimizing debug log per transaction) * JotmFactoryBean sets "defaultTimeout" value as actual JOTM default (even if no

HessianServlet * HessianServiceExporter and BurlapServiceExporter expose the bean ClassLoader as thread context CL (if necessary) * factored out stream-based HessianExporter and BurlapExporter classes * factored out multiple matching methods * FreeMarker "formSingleSelect" macro also accepts options from a sequence (list) as both labels and values Package org.springframework.validation * clarified that BindingResult's explicitly * DispatcherServlet consistently logs correct request URI for include requests (even in debug log messages) * MultiActionController properly supports String return types for handler methods (for consistency

setting of the frozen flag until *after* advice has been applied (SPR-1250) * lowered Cglib2AopProxy's log level for detected final methods on a proxy class from "warn" to "info" Package org.springframework for specifying a custom class loader Package org.springframework.util * Log4jConfigurer resolves ${...} placeholders in Log4J config locations as system properties * factored out ConcurrencyThrottleSupport forward/include * added various RequestLoggingFilters: for Commons Logging, the ServletContext log, and Log4J including NDC support * FrameworkServlet exposes protected "processRequest" method, to be called

AbstractLazyCreationTargetSource * added "hideProxyClassNames" property to AbstractTraceInterceptor, to log with target class instead of proxy class * deprecated AbstractPerformanceMonitorInterceptor in favor n 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 bean jar file (to load from WebSphere-managed jars) * ResourceArrayPropertyEditor can translate a set/list of patterns into a Resource array (rather than just one pattern) Package org.springframework.context

"executeFind" operations throw InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException if the result isn't actually a Collection/List * added "postProcessResult" template method to JdoTemplate, enabling subclasses to perform auto-detachment setting of the frozen flag until *after* advice has been applied (SPR-1250) * lowered Cglib2AopProxy's log level for detected final methods on a proxy class from "warn" to "info" Package org.springframework for specifying a custom class loader Package org.springframework.util * Log4jConfigurer resolves ${...} placeholders in Log4J config locations as system properties * factored out ConcurrencyThrottleSupport
