Previously, remote DevTools only correctly supported modifying
existing classes. New classes that were added would be missed, and
deleted classes could cause a failure as they would be found by
component scanning but hidden by RestartClassLoader.
This commit introduces a DevTools-specific ResourcePatternResolver
that is installed as the application context's resource loader. This
custom resolver is aware of the files that have been added and
deleted and modifies the result returned from getResource and
getResources accordingly.
New intergration tests have been introduced to verify DevTools'
behaviour. The tests cover four scenarios:
- Adding a new controller
- Removing an existing controller
- Adding a request mapping to a controller
- Removing a request mapping from a controller
These four scenarios are tested with:
- DevTools updating a local application
- DevTools updating a remote application packaged in a jar file
- DevTools updating a remote application that's been exploded
