org.springframework.core Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package org.springframework.core as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.

If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.

Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

Helper class for resolving generic types against type variables.

Mainly intended for usage within the framework, resolving method parameter types even when they are declared generically. @author Juergen Hoeller @author Rob Harrop @author Sam Brannen @since 2.5.2 @see GenericCollectionTypeResolver

Build a mapping of TypeVariable names toto concrete Classconcrete classes for the specified Class. SearchesSearches all super types, enclosing types and interfaces.

Determine the target type for the generic return type of the given method., where formal type variables are declared on the given class. @param method the method to introspect @param clazz the class to resolve type variables against @return the corresponding generic parameter or return typetype @see #resolveReturnTypeForGenericMethod

Implementation of ParameterNameDiscoverer that uses the LocalVariableTable information in the method attributes to discover parameter names. Returns null if the class file was compiled without debug information.

Uses ObjectWeb's ASM library for analyzing class files. Each discoverer instance caches the ASM discovered information for each introspected Class, in a thread-safe manner. It is recommended to reuse discoverer instances as far as possible. @author Adrian Colyer @author Costin Leau @author Juergen Hoeller @author Chris Beams @since 2.0

Helper class that encapsulates the specification of a method parameter, i.e. a Method or Constructor plus a parameter index and a nested type index for a declared generic type. Useful as a specification object to pass along. @author Juergen Hoeller @author Rob Harrop @author Andy Clement @author Nikita Tovstoles @author Chris Beams @since 2.0 @see GenericCollectionTypeResolver
