Dear Spring community,
I'm pleased to announce that Spring 1.1 final has just been released. Since 1.1 RC2, some API clarifications have happened and a number of bugs have been fixed. There is also a variety of minor new features:
reworked BeanWrapperImpl's property-specific custom editor handling to allow registration for uninitialized subpaths
added "applyBeanPropertyValues" method to AutowireCapableBeanFactory, for populating an existing bean instance
added "(abstract)" marker for properties bean definitions respectively "abstract" attribute for XML bean definitions
added support for SqlReturnType interface which allows to return custom types from stored procedures
added auto-conversion of java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar to java.sql.Date/Time/Timestamp for JDBC parameters
added support for WebSphere 4 to WebSphereNativeJdbcExtractor, autodetecting WebSphere 5 and 4 now
added WebLogicServerTransactionManagerFactoryBean, to be used with WebLogicJtaTransactionManager on WebLogic 7.0
added support for direct JTA synchronization to AbstractLobType, as alternative to Spring transaction synchronization
added "flush" method to HibernateOperations/HibernateTemplate and JdoOperations/JdoTemplate, for eager flushing
added "getReportQueryIteratorByQuery" method to OJB PersistenceBrokerOperations and PersistenceBrokerTemplate
deprecated AbstractJndiLocator base class in favor of new JndiObjectLocator base class with explicit "lookup" method
added JndiObjectTargetSource which performs a fresh JNDI lookup for each call, allowing for hot redeployment in JNDI
added "cache" flag to JndiDestinationResolver, to allow for turning off the caching of Destination objects from JNDI
added support for ObjectMessage to SimpleMessageConverter, converting between Serializable objects and ObjectMessages
added RemoteConnectFailureException and RemoteLookupFailureException as RemoteAccessException subclasses
added JndiRmiServiceExporter, JndiRmiClientInterceptor, JndiRmiProxyFactoryBean (for RMI-IIOP resp. CORBA)
added "lookupStubOnStartup", "cacheStub" and "refreshStubOnConnectFailure" flags to RmiClientInterceptor
added "lookupHomeOnStartup" and "refreshHomeOnConnectFailure" flags to AbstractRemoteSlsbInvokerInterceptor
added "createMimeMessage(InputStream)" method to JavaMailSender, building a MimeMessage from raw MIME content
MimeMessageHelper creates "multipart/related" now, to make mails with inline images compatible with Outlook Express
added "validateAddresses" property to MimeMessageHelper (off by default), delegating to JavaMail 1.3's "validate"
added "http10Compatible" flag to RedirectView, to be turned off for sending HTTP 1.1 status code 303 rather than 302
added "buildPdfMetadata" callback to AbstractPdfView, for adding meta fields like author to the iText PDF Document
added LookupDispatchActionSupport class to Struts support, analogous to ActionSupport but for LookupDispatchActions
As usual, see the changelog for details. Note that the 1.1 code base contains minor changes in various SPIs which are not backwards-compatible. The API as typically used in applications is as close to 100% compatible as possible, though.
