[Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 2.5.1 released

[Juergen H. <jue...@sp...>]

Dear Spring community,

 

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 2.5.1 has been released!

 

This is the first bug fix and enhancement release in the Spring 2.5 series.
It closes a couple of gaps found in Spring 2.5 final and introduces various
new features in the context of Java 6 and Java EE 5 support:

 

*	Java-5-specific Model interface for use with MVC handler methods
*	@ModelAttribute's default attribute names are consistently derived
from the *declared* parameter/return type
*	Support for last-modified handling in @RequestMapping handler
methods (through the WebRequest interface)
*	SpringBeanAutowiringSupport class for self-autowiring classes within
a web app (e.g. JAX-WS endpoints)
*	EJB3-compliant SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor for processing
Spring's @Autowired in EJB3 SBs/MDBs
*	Remoting support for the HTTP server that is included in Sun's JDK
1.6 (covering HTTP invoker, Hessian and Burlap)
*	"jms:listener-container" tag supports a concurrency range (e.g.
"3-5"), for specifying a minimum number of consumers
*	Tiles2 support works on JDK 1.4 as well
*	Any many further enhancements in the details.

 

Spring 2.5.1 also ships with extended documentation and upgrades various
(optional) third-party dependencies: e.g. AspectJ 1.5.4, Groovy 1.5.1,
Hessian 3.1.3

 

Please see the changelog for details.

 

Cheers,

 

Juergen
