BeanReferenceFactoryBean; use the available alias mechanisms instead * reworked CustomScopeConfigurer to only support Scope instances as values for the "scopes" map * DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry keeps singleton beans with a ParserContext argument * moved ComponentDefinition, ReaderContext and support classes from "beans.factory.support" to "beans.factory.parsing" * reworked ReaderEventListener to take AliasDefin te operations without parameter object to SqlMapClientOperations/Template * refined Hibernate3 support to detect Hibernate 3.2's FlushMode.MANUAL as well, while remaining compatible with 3.0/3.1 * factored

the same aspect * added @Order annotation support for @AspectJ style aspects, as alternative to implementing the Ordered interface * redesigned AspectJ support SPI: AspectInstanceFactory, AspectJPointcutAdvisor always injects transactional EntityManager with extended interfaces (if any) * included OpenJPA support classes (OpenJpaDialect, OpenJpaVendorAdapter), tested against OpenJPA 0.9.6 Package org.springframework BeanReferenceFactoryBean; use the available alias mechanisms instead * reworked CustomScopeConfigurer to only support Scope instances as values for the "scopes" map * DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry keeps singleton beans

syntax * added support for 'early access singletons' to AbstractFactoryBean, exposing a proxy in case of a circular reference * ListFactoryBean, SetFactoryBean and MapFactoryBean support exposure of a (in particular AccessControlException) * introduced XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException, with special support for SAXParseException and its location information * XmlBeanDefinitionReader chooses XSD validation updated Groovy support to Groovy 1.0 final * added optional GroovyObjectCustomizer constructor arg to GroovyScriptFactory, to allow for setting a custom MetaClass * updated JRuby support to JRuby 0.9.2

----------------------------------- General * basic scheduling support is included in "spring-context.jar", with only Quartz support added in "spring-support.jar" * all checks for library presence are explicitly 4-compatible "hashCode()" implementations for unions and intersections * MethodMatchers and Pointcuts support IntroductionAwareMethodMatcher for unions and intersections * added pointcut union operation to value as well, simply using the child collection as-is in this case * indexed constructor arguments support collection merging (driven by merge="true", analogous to property values) * BeanDefinitions returned

operates correctly in case of no "ignoredMethods" specified Package org.springframework.orm * iBATIS support works correctly with "useTransactionAwareDataSource" and JTA transaction resume with subsequent reflective calls * removed warning for read-only from JdoTransactionManager, since a vendor dialect may support it * Hibernate3 LocalSessionFactoryBean automatically sets JTATransactionFactory if given a "jt added CharArrayPropertyEditor to translate String value into char array * CharacterEditor supports unicode specification passed in as literal String, for example "\u00F6" * FieldRetrievingFactoryBean is

added CharArrayPropertyEditor to translate String value into char array * CharacterEditor supports unicode specification passed in as literal String, for example "\u00F6" * FieldRetrievingFactoryBean is IllegalStateException if there is already a root application context present * refined GenericFilterBean to fully support initialization as bean in a Spring bean factory (without FilterConfig) * refined OncePerRequestFilter BlobStringType with configurable character encoding for both Hibernate2 and Hibernate3 * updated Spring's JDO support to be compatible with JPOX JDO 2.0 API snapshot-9 (corresponding to JDO 2.0 final draft) * JdoTransactionManager

the JDBC driver * fixed JdbcTemplate's fallback support for batch updates to properly handle InterruptibleBatchPreparedStatementSetters * added scale support to SqlParameter, for declaring numeric RdbmsOperation protected to public * JmsInvokerClientInterceptor/ProxyFactoryBean and JmsInvokerServiceExporter support a configurable MessageConverter Package org.springframework.jndi * TypeMismatchNamingException carries 'foreign' existing synchronization even in case of begin failure * revised OC4JJtaTransactionManager to support the "oracle.j2ee.transaction" package on OC4J later than 10.1.3.2 Package org.springframework.ui

script tags in the "lang" namespace, allowing for non-singleton script objects * updated JRuby support for JRuby 0.9.8 (requiring this version now due to incompatible JRuby API changes) Package org "autocomplete" HTML extension attribute (as supported by IE and Firefox) * JSP InputTag and TextareaTag support the HTML "readonly" element correctly now, only rendering it if specified * JSP CheckboxTag applies ------------------------------------- General * basic scheduling support is included in "spring-context.jar", with only Quartz support added in "spring-support.jar" * all checks for library presence are explicitly

any kind of declared RemoteException as-is Package org.springframework.scripting * updated JRuby support for JRuby 1.0 compatibility (still compatible with JRuby 0.9.8 / 0.9.9 as well) Package org.springframework explicit ServletContext reference to a created RequestContext instance * JSP InputTag, SelectTag etc support expressions as "disabled" and "readonly" attribute values Changes in version 2.0.5 (2007-05-07) the JDBC driver * fixed JdbcTemplate's fallback support for batch updates to properly handle InterruptibleBatchPreparedStatementSetters * added scale support to SqlParameter, for declaring numeric RdbmsOperation

factored out generic ConfigurableObjectInputStream class from CodebaseAwareObjectInputStream in RMI support * re-enabled PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver's JarURLConnection handling (accidentally disabled by default now (e.g. TINYINT, BIGINT, DOUBLE) * introduced SqlXmlHandler abstraction (for the XML support in the Advanced Pack for Oracle Database) * added further SQL error code mapping for MS SQL Server StatelessSession with Spring's DataSourceTransactionManager/HibernateTransactionManager * added support for Derby and H2 through Hibernate/OpenJpa/TopLink/EclipseLinkJpaVendorAdapter's "database" property
