Description
To improve diagnostics, we should improve the String representations of bean definitions and bean metadata attributes.
The toString()
implementation of AbstractBeanDefinition
currently includes the bean class name in brackets class [...]
; whereas, everything else is not in brackets and just uses an equals sign -- for example, scope=singleton
.
With modern Spring applications that make heavy use of @Bean
methods in @Configuration
classes, bean definitions do not have a pre-configured bean class name. Thus, it makes sense to align the formatting of the bean class name with the formatting of other properties -- for example, class=...
.
With the recent introduction of @Fallback
support, it would also be good to include the fallback
flag in toString()
alongside the primary
flag.
The String representation of a BeanMetadataAttribute
could also be improved to include the value
in addition to the name
.
