[Springframework-developer] Ready for 1.0 RC1

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

Everybody,

I've committed my final reworkings for 1.0 RC1 one. Quite a few internal =
classes have moved between packages; there shouldn't be any major =
incompatilities. I've also incorporated most recent bug reports in the =
affected areas.

A new feature is ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource: An alternative =
implementation of MessageSource that follows basic ResourceBundle =
conventions but is able to reload message definitions and to load the =
properties files from any resource location. This removes a major =
nuisance of java.util.ResourceBundle in a server environment: =
Effectively, message definitions can now be changed on-the-fly like JSPs =
or templates can, without losing a significant amount efficiency.

The "cacheSeconds" interval specifies the refresh interval: If the =
last-modified timestamp of the files hasn't changed, no reloading will =
occur. So "cacheSeconds" can be set to 1 without worrying about =
performance. My own rudimentary performance tests indicate that =
ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource is twice as fast as the standard =
ResourceBundleMessageSource when caching forever, and still 40% faster =
with "cacheSeconds" =3D 1.

I'd like to encourage everybody to test the current CVS head thoroughly. =
I will test our sample apps myself too, against HSQLDB and MySQL, but =
I'm primarily talking of custom applications here. Please report any =
remaining issues promptly; I intend to release RC1 this weekend.

Juergen

P.S.:
Haven't had the time to look at the 96-beans issue; will do so tomorrow.
