Consistent bridge method handling in annotation post-processors [SPR-12495]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-12495 and commented

Historically, AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor, CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor and PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor accumulated custom bridge method handling which turns out to lead to subtle differences in runtime behavior, in particular on Java 8. This should get fixed through consistent and well-tested bridge method treatment, in particular for 4.1.3 but to a limited degree also for 4.0.9 and 3.2.13.
