tiles-core-3 brings in a dependency on jcl-overl-slf4 which causes
an slf4j delegation loop as explained at [1] when tests run inside
Eclipse. Other modules that depend on tiles-core like
(tiles-servlet, tiles-jsp) have also had the exclusion added since
they seem to bring it in as well.

Prevously the FrameworkServlet created a new ServletRequestAttributes
instance for every request, unless the RequestContextHolder already
contained an instance whose type is not ServletRequestAttributes.
The main intent was that if RequestContextHolder contains a
PortletRequestAttributes, it should be left in place.

This change does an "instanceof" check against the request in
RequestContextHolder instead of an "equals" check on the type.
It still leaves PortletRequestAttributes in place but also allows
the previous request to be any sub-class of ServletRequestAttributes.

 - Deleted unused imports.

 - Switched from junit.framework.Assert to org.junit.Assert, since the
   former is deprecated as of JUnit 4.11.

 - Suppressed warnings for continued deprecated usage of
   junit.framework.Assert.

Spring Framework 3.2 M2 added the ability to map requests using only
file extensions registered through the configured through a
ContentNeotiationManager, as opposed to allowing any file extension
(i.e. ".*"). The MVC namespace the MVC Java config automatically
register extensions such as ".json" and ".xml" depending on libraries
found on the classpath. That in turn causes issues in cases where
additional extensions are in use but not registered (e.g. ".html").

This change ensures that matching with registered file extensions only
works only if explicitly enabled through a property on
RequestMappingHandlerMapping.

Replace the use of SLF4J LoggerFactory and Logger classes with Apache

Prior to this commit, executing an SQL script via
ResourceDatabasePopulator would fail if a statement in the script
contained a line comment within the statement.

This commit ensures that standard SQL comments (i.e., any text beginning
with two hyphens and extending to the end of the line) are properly
omitted from the statement before executing it.

In addition, multiple adjacent whitespace characters within a statement,
but outside a literal, are now collapsed into a single space.

Prior to this commit, executing an SQL script with JdbcTestUtils would

omitted from the statement before executing it.

In addition, multiple adjacent whitespace characters within a statement

The @ModelAttribute javadoc now explicitly mentions that model content
is not available after an Exception is raised. This is a very common
question given that @ExceptionHandler methods are co-located with
@ModelAttribute and @RequestMapping methods.

This commit upgrades the compile dependency on JUnit in the spring-test
module as well as the global test dependency on JUnit for the entire
test suite to 4.11 GA.

In addition, the spring-test module now depends on junit:junit instead
of junit:junit-dep since, as of JUnit 4.11, the "junit" Maven artifact
no longer inlines hamcrest-core.

Documented why static nested test cases in the spring-test module are
ignored, explaining that such "TestCase classes are run manually by the
enclosing test class". Prior to the migration to Gradle (i.e., with
Spring Build), these tests would not have been picked up by the test
suite since they end with a "TestCase" suffix instead of "Test" or
"Tests".

Re-enabled HibernateMultiEntityManagerFactoryIntegrationTests.

For the remaining tests that were disabled as a result of the migration
to Gradle, comments have been added to the @Ignore declarations.

* spring-aspects-dependencies:
  Replace dependency to aspectjrt with aspectjweaver

Replace the gradle dependency on aspectjrt with aspectjweaver since
aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver and the full jar is required
by Spring. SPR-8896 fixed the original code issue, this change
just relates to the generated maven pom.

Upgrade to docbook-reference-plugin v0.2.2 and remove custom xsl
styles in favor of plugin defaults. Modify some docbook source
files to work with newer style.

 - Defined global slf4jVersion as '1.6.1' in the Gradle build.

 - Replaced dependencies on slf4j-log4j12 with slf4j-jcl where possible;
   however, spring-test-mvc still depends on jcl-over-slf4j and
   slf4j-log4j12 (see SPR-10070).

 - Reenabled HibernateSessionFlushingTests.

 - Verified that the following tests pass in the Gradle build and within
   Eclipse:
   - HibernateSessionFlushingTests
   - HibernateTransactionManagerTests (Hibernate 3)
   - HibernateTransactionManagerTests (Hibernate 4)
   - RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessorTests

The previous commit by Juergen Hoeller upgraded spring-orm's Hibernate 3
dependency to 3.3.2.GA, and this commit removes the now unnecessary
dependency on org.hibernate:hibernate-cglib-repack:2.1_3.

Transaction timeouts for JPA translate to "javax.persistence.query.timeout" only (for EclipseLink compatibility)

Issue: SPR-10068

The Javadoc in MockMvcClientHttpRequestFactoryTests had been copied and
pasted from WebAppResourceTests. This commit updates the documentation
in MockMvcClientHttpRequestFactoryTests to reflect what the tests do.

This commit introduces the missing isExecuted() method in
MockClientHttpRequest and improves the documentation for execute()
and executeInternal().

This commit ensures that EasyMock version 2.5.2 is used consistently
across the test suite. This applies to both the easymock and
easymockclassextension artifacts. Using the same version for both of
these artifacts helps to better align us for a future upgrade to
EasyMock 3.0 since the Class Extension artifact is deprecated in 3.x
releases of the library.

This commit relocates recently introduced web artifacts in the
TestContext framework to the ~.test.context.web package and renames some
classes for consistency with the existing code base.

 - introduced package-info.java in the web package.

 - ServletTestExecutionListener now extends
   AbstractTestExecutionListener instead of implementing
   TestExecutionListener.

 - relocated AbstractGenericWebContextLoader,
   AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader, XmlWebContextLoader, and
   WebDelegatingSmartContextLoader to the web package.

 - renamed XmlWebContextLoader to GenericXmlWebContextLoader for
   consistency with GenericXmlContextLoader.

 - changed the visibility of AbstractDelegatingSmartContextLoader and
   AnnotationConfigContextLoaderUtils to public.

Issue: SPR-10067

This commit fixes recently introduced formatting errors in the Javadoc
of TransactionalTestExecutionListener.

The FormHttpMessageConverter now adds Jackson JSON converters
(version 1.x or 2.x) if available on the classpath.

The tiles-request-servlet-wildcard contained only one class that is an
implementation of the tiles-request ServletApplicationContext using a
Spring ApplicationContext to look up resources. It makes sense for this
class to be part of the Spring Tiles 3 integration.

 - fixed typo
 - spring-test-mvc now builds against Hibernate Validator 4.3

Previously when running the tests for spring-web, spring-webmvc,
spring-test-mvc, and spring-orm there were possible collissions in the
classpath due to the fact that each had its own copy of the web.Mock*
classes in it. This causes uncertainty for which class the code was
running against. Furthermore, the maintance of keeping the copies up to
date was tedious.

Now there are two copies of the web.Mock* classes. The ones that exist
in spring-test main sources and a copy that supports servlet 3 within
spring-web test sources. The copy in spring-web test sources has been
moved to a new package to avoid having the classes exist twice on the
classpath within Eclipse.

Previously CallableProcessingInterceptor and
DeferredResultProcessingInterceptor did not have support for capturing
the state of the original Thread just prior to processing. This made it
difficult to transfer the state of one Thread (i.e. ThreadLocal) to the
Thread used to process the Callable.

This commit adds a new method to CallableProcessingInterceptor and
DeferredResultProcessingInterceptor named beforeConcurrentHandling
which will be invoked on the original Thread used to submit the Callable
or DeferredResult. This means the state of the original Thread can be
captured in beforeConcurrentHandling and transfered to the new Thread
in preProcess.
