This is a significant change for end users, but offers a number of benefits:
- Consistency with Spring core's use of a concrete ThreadLocal per functional area
- SecurityContext is strictly typed (which eliminates the need for casting)
- Simplified configuration as no need to specify a Context implementation for HttpSessionContextIntegrationFilter
- InheritableThreadLocal used instead of ThreadLocal to simplify rich client usage (see http://forum.springframework.org/viewtopic.php?t=5004)
- Elimination of handling the extra Context layer means less end user code is required
Unit tests pass and I've updated the upgrade-080-090.txt in some detail. The reference guide has also been updated.
It would be appreciated if developers could try the latest CVS with their applications and report any difficulties. General feedback on this change is also welcome.
Cheers Ben
