Prior to this commit, some same-page links in our Antora-based docs
were written using the `xref:` macro, which Antora resolves as a
cross-page reference. However, a same-page target can be misread as a
page reference and break the site build (as nearly happened in
gh-37152), whereas `<<id,text>>` only ever resolves against the current
page's own anchors.
To address that inconsistency and avoid potential future bugs (broken
links), this commit converts all such same-page `xref:` links to
`<<id,text>>`, leaving genuine cross-page `xref:` links are unaffected.
Closes gh-37161
This commit documents how the Bean Override support in the TestContext
framework interacts with Spring AOP proxies created for annotations
such as @Transactional, @Cacheable, and @Retryable.
The new "Bean Overrides and Spring AOP Proxies" section in the general
Bean Overriding documentation explains that overrides using the WRAP
strategy (such as @MockitoSpyBean) end up as the target of any AOP
proxy subsequently created for the original bean; whereas, overrides
using the REPLACE or REPLACE_OR_CREATE strategy (such as @TestBean,
@MockitoBean) bypass the container's bean post-processing entirely and
therefore carry no AOP advice at all.
The new "@MockitoSpyBean and Spring AOP Proxies" section documents the
resulting stubbing and verification semantics. Verification via
Mockito's verify() API works transparently regardless of whether it is
invoked on the proxy or on the spy. Stubbing via doReturn(...)/doThrow(...)
is safe for stateless advice such as @Retryable, but can silently
corrupt the spy's configured answers for stateful or memoizing advice
such as @Cacheable, since the invocation used to declare a stub is
intercepted by Mockito before it reaches the spy and returns an empty
value that such advice may then cache.
AopTestUtils.getUltimateTargetObject(...) is documented as the way to
stub directly against the spy in that case.
The same section also documents how to disable the AOP advice for a
test altogether while leaving it in place in production code – for
example, binding a @Retryable attribute to a property placeholder
overridden via @TestPropertySource, or replacing the CacheManager with
a NoOpCacheManager via @TestBean.
Brief cross-referencing notes have also been added to the @TestBean
documentation and to the existing AopTestUtils description in the
"General Testing Utilities" section, to avoid duplicating the
explanation across pages.
In addition, the Javadoc for @MockitoSpyBean now contains a concise
WARNING summarizing these AOP proxy implications and linking to the new
reference documentation section for details.

This commit restructures the section on MockMvc so that the anchors
are easier to read. The standard integration has moved to a
Hamcrest Integration section at the same level as HtmlUnit Integration,
and a new AssertJ Integration section has been created.

This commit extract spring-related links and recurring external links
into asciidoctor attributes to be used by the Antora toolchain.
It notably homogenizes links to:
- IETF RFCs
- Java Community Process JSRs
- the Java API Documentation (on the Java 17 version)
- Kotlin documentations (on the Kotlinlang.org version)
- the Spring Boot reference guide (on the `html` version)
This commit also reworks most link attributes to follow a
Project-Category-Misc syntax. For example, `spring-boot-docs` rather
than `docs-spring-boot`.
Finally, it makes an effort to clean up remainders from the previous
documentation toolchain, namely the `docs/asciidoc` folder and
`modules/ROOT/pages/attributes.adoc` file.
