XML constructor-arg element allows for specifying a constructor argument by name now, with target argument names read from the class file via ASM or from Java 6's @ConstructorProperties annotation (SPR-3313)

Updated BeanPropertyRowMapper to remove spaces from column names to improve matching to properties (SPR-5758)

Added support for the 'annotation-driven' element within the 'task' namespace to enable detection of the @Async annotation on Spring-managed objects.

updates for Binding code - able to retrieve the type descriptor for a property and ask detailed questions (eg getAnnotations())

modified so that when the descriptor represents a method parameter, we retrieve the annotations from the method and not the method parameter (seems to make more sense - certainly in the binding case)

BinderTests - two ignored tests reactivated.  Binder - modified how annotation based formatters are registered/looked up

added convenience execute method that takes vararg of objects in the order of the parameters plus the corresponding executeFunction/executeObject methods (SPR-4739)

added convenience method that takes vararg of objects in the order of the declared parameters (SPR-5696)

Hibernate AnnotationSessionFactoryBean detects Hibernate's special @Entity annotation too (SPR-5787)
