[Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 1.1.4 released

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 1.1.4 has finally been
released. This is a bugfix and minor enhancement release in the 1.1 series.
Among the new features are:

* added LazyInitTargetSource, lazily accessing a singleton from a
BeanFactory (lazily initializing on first call)
* added ServiceLocatorFactoryBean, allowing to map custom service locator
interface methods to BeanFactory.getBean calls
* reworked ResourcePatternResolver to extend ResourceLoader, for
ResourcePatternResolver checks in ResourceLoaderAware
* made BindException serializable, provided that the contained target object
is serializable

* added LazyConnectionDataSourceProxy, for lazily fetching JDBC Connections
with native JDBC or Hibernate transactions
* added "Sybase-jConnect" to default sql-error-codes.xml file, for database
product name "Adaptive Server Enterprise"
* added overloaded
"queryForList"/"queryForObject"/"queryForLong"/"queryForInt" methods with
arg types to JdbcTemplate
* added "alwaysUseNewSession" flag to HibernateTemplate, enforcing a new
Session even in case of a pre-bound Session
* HibernateTemplate proxies exposed Sessions by default, applying query
cache settings and transaction timeouts

* added "isConnectFailure(RemoteException)" hook to
AbstractRemoteSlsbInvokerInterceptor, for customized failure checks
* added "isConnectFailure(RemoteException)" hook to
(Jndi)RmiClientInterceptor, for customized connect failure checks
* added JaxRpcServicePostProcessor interface, intended for reusable custom
type mappings etc for a JAX-RPC service
* added "servicePostProcessors" property to LocalJaxRpcServiceFactory and
subclasses (incl. JaxRpcPortProxyFactoryBean)

* added "messageIdEnabled" and "messageTimestampEnabled" properties to
JmsTemplate, to disable id/timestamp on producer
* added "pubSubNoLocal" property to JmsTemplate, leading to the NoLocal flag
being specified on MessageConsumer creation
* added "receiveSelected" and "receivedSelectedAndConvert" methods to
JmsTemplate, accepting JMS message selectors
* added "schedulerListeners", "(global)JobListeners",
"(global)TriggerListeners" bean properties to SchedulerFactoryBean
* added "jobListenerNames"/"triggerListenerNames" property to JobDetailBean,
CronTriggerBean, SimpleTriggerBean (resp.)

* added ServletContextAttributeFactoryBean, exposing an existing
ServletContext attribute for bean references
* added ServletContextAttributeExporter, taking Spring-defined objects and
exposing them as ServletContext attributes
* added ServletContextPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, a subclass that falls
back to web.xml context-param entries
* added "publishEvents" init-param to FrameworkServlet, allowing to turn off
the publishing of RequestHandledEvents
* Spring JSP tags work outside DispatcherServlet too, falling back to root
WebApplicationContext and JSTL/request locale

Please see the changelog for details.

Juergen
