Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Framework 2.5.3 has been released!  Download | Documentation

This is the third update release in the Spring 2.5 series. It fixes issues reported since 2.5.2 and introduces various enhancements, such as:

  • @Autowired and @Required annotations interact more intuitively
  • ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping detects @Controller beans by default
  • "bean(...)" pointcut designator matches against bean aliases as well
  • Spring 2.5 "jee:*" config elements use resource-ref="true" by default
  • new CachingConnectionFactory for JMS session and producer pooling
  • new DB2MainframeSequenceMaxValueIncrementer for DB2/390 and DB2/400
Please see the changelog for details. We recommend upgrading to Spring 2.5.3 from all previous Spring 2.5.x releases!
