Spring Framework 5.2 introduced a regression in our annotation
processing support when the MergedAnnotations API was introduced.
Consequently, prior to this commit, our "annotation attributes as a Map
or AnnotationAttributes instance" support no longer stored exceptions
thrown while attempting to load a type referenced by an annotation
attribute. Instead, the exception was thrown immediately.
To address that, this commit revises our MergedAnnotation.asMap()
support so that it now tracks such exceptions in the map instead of
immediately throwing them. This allows map functionality such as
contains(attributeName), keySet(), etc. to continue to function
properly. In addition, the internal getRequiredAttribute() method in
AnnotationAttributes once again properly throws the original exception
wrapped in an IllegalArgumentException whenever a caller invokes one of
the convenience methods such as getClass() and getClassArray().
Note that this affects both asMap() variants as well as
asAnnotationAttributes().
In addition, this commit reverts the fix applied in 00fbd91cca since
it is no longer necessary.

Closes gh-36586
Prior to this commit, AnnotationBeanNameGenerator failed when searching
for a convention-based bean name, if an annotation referenced a
non-existent class.
To address that, this commit introduces a try-catch block around each
invocation of MergedAnnotation.asAnnotationAttributes() and skips
processing of the current MergedAnnotation if an exception occurs,
which is likely due to a type referenced from an annotation attribute
not being present in the classpath.
See gh-31203
Closes gh-36524
Revise the BeanRegistrar Javadoc to document the two distinct usage
modes: @Configuration/@Import and programmatic GenericApplicationContext
setup.
Clarify that implementations are not Spring components (requiring a
no-arg constructor and no dependency injection), and detail the ordering
guarantees for each mode.

Prior to this commit, the ClassFile variant for annotation and method
metadata would report incorrect metadata for:
* the method return type names in case of primitives and array types
* `toString` values for methods
* `equals` and `hashcode` information for methods
This commit expands the test suite and ensures that the ASM and
ClassFile variants are aligned.

GenericApplicationContext-registered BeanRegistrars are invoked after other programmatic bean definitions. Configuration-imported BeanRegistrars participate in configuration class order and in particular in Boot's auto-configuration ordering.

Prior to this commit, all `with**Converter` methods in
`HttpMessageConverters` builders would only apply if the
`registerDefaults()` option is on. While the original intent is to allow
overrides for auto-detected defaults, this creates an unnecessary
discrepancy with `addCustomConverter` which is always effective.
Allowing sich registrations when defaults are off should not introduce
invalid states and only reflects the intent of the developer. This
commit now allows such cases.
Fixes gh-36579
Since commit 89391fd94c, the getClassAttributeWhenUnknownClass() methods
in SimpleAnnotationMetadataTests and DefaultAnnotationMetadataTests
have failed in Eclipse, since the JSR-305 JAR is always on the test
runtime classpath in Eclipse.
To address that, this commit introduces a FilteringClassLoader in both
test classes which mimics the test runtime behavior in the Gradle build.

`RestTemplate` is deprecated, this commit amends the JavaDoc to mention
its scheduled removal for the next major version, Spring Framework 8.0.
See gh-36574
Prior to this commit, the `RestTestClient` MockMvc integration would
support transforming client requests into MockMvc requests.
`RestTestClient` can serialize `MultiValueMap` request bodies as
multipart requests. In this case, the `MockMvcClientHttpRequestFactory`
would only read the body as byte stream and would not turn this into a
proper `MockMultipartHttpServletRequestBuilder`.
This commit uses the new `MultipartHttpMessageConverter` to parse the
request payload as `MockPart` instances to be added to the MockMvc
requests.
Closes gh-35569
CacheAspectSupport currently contains a protected methodIdentification()
method which is not used internally within the framework, and it appears
that it was accidentally copied from TransactionAspectSupport when the
caching support was first introduced.
In light of that, this commit deprecates it for removal in 7.1.
Closes gh-36576
Prior to this commit, thread-local variables like Trace ID were not
automatically propagated into the Reactor Context when making requests
using Kotlin coroutine WebClient extensions like `awaitExchange`.
This commit updates `CoroutineContext.toReactorContext()` to capture
thread-local values via Micrometer Context Propagation when available,
ensuring observations and traces are properly reused.
Closes gh-36182
As announced in "the state of HTTP clients in Spring" blog post
(https://spring.io/blog/2025/09/30/the-state-of-http-clients-in-spring),
the deprecation timeline for `RestTemplate` was announced last November
and docs were updated accordingly.
This commit `@Deprecate` `RestTemplate` and related types for removal to
send a stronger signal to our community.
The actual removal is scheduled for Spring Framework 8.0 (not yet
scheduled).
Closes gh-36574
Now that `RestClient` offers a better alternative, this commit revisits
our integration tests to use `RestClient` instead of `RestTemplate`.
Closes gh-36573
Prior to this commit, `MockRestServiceServer` would provide
`createServer` shortcuts for `RestTemplate` and `RestGatewaySupport`.
Now that `RestClient` offers a modern client variant, we should provide
the same for `RestClient`.
