[Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 1.0.2 released

[<jue...@we...>]

Dear Spring community,
=20
I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 1.0.2 has just been =
released. This release introduces a variety of enhancements throughout =
the framework, plus some minor bugs fixes. Among the enhancements in =
this release are:
=20
* new "mock" source tree and "spring-mock" jar file, containing JNDI and =
Servlet API mocks for usage in applications
=20
* CachedIntrospectionResults flushes the JavaBeans Introspector cache =
for proper garbage collection on shutdown
* added ObjectFactory interface and ObjectFactoryCreatingFactoryBean, =
for non-intrusive creation of prototype beans
* AbstractXmlApplicationContext uses PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver =
for Ant-style config location patterns
* added support for "xxx*" field patterns to BindException's =
"getFieldErrors" and "getFieldError" methods
* QuartzJobBean applies SchedulerContext entries as bean properties, =
just like it also does for JobDataMap entries

* added UserCredentialsDataSourceAdapter, for transparently appying =
username and password to target DataSource calls
* added RowMapperResultReader, to be used instead of a custom =
RowCallbackHandler when mapping rows to objects
* added AbstractLobStreamingResultSetExtractor and =
AbstractLobCreatingPreparedStatementCallback
* reworked "imagedb" sample app, with a redesigned implementation of the =
DefaultImageDatabase class
* iBATIS SQL Maps 2.0 integration classes support per-SqlMapClient =
DataSource and lazy loading of paginated lists

* DispatcherServlet detects ViewResolvers by type to allow for =
ViewResolver chaining (respecting order values)
* added "doSubmitAction" template method to SimpleFormController, for =
submit actions without caring about ModelAndView
* AbstractWizardFormController optionally supports "_page" request =
parameter, for proper handling of back button usage
* added support for "person.na*"/"person.address.*"-style field patterns =
to BindTag's "path" attribute
* added Struts DelegatingRequestProcessor and =
DelegatingTilesRequestProcessor as alternatives to DelegatingActionProxy

See the changelog for details. We have also refined our roadmap; see our =
JIRA for a rough plan of what's ahead.
