Description

Version 1.7.0 corrupts Spring 2.5.X refresh interval behaviour. I include set of test proving that. If you run them with Groovy 1.6.5 (see comments containing Groovy 1.6.5, that are necessary to process before running with 1.6.5 - 1.7.0 introduces some changes breaking backward compatibility) all tests pass. With 1.7.0 two fails - one is described in another issue GROOVY-3980.

This issue should concern with test: com.fg.scripting.groovy.SpringGroovyReloadSupportTest#testReloadLoadGroovyClass

Note that before running tests, path in com.fg.scripting.groovy.AbstractGroovyTest#setUp must be modified to match your system.

Spring configuration is so simple, that (I hope) cannot be wrong:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:lang="http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang/spring-lang.xsd">

<bean id="propertyPlaceholderConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"/>

<lang:groovy id="mainGroovyClass"
refresh-check-delay="0"
script-source="file:${project.build.directory}/target/test-classes/com/fg/mock/MainGroovyClass.groovy"/>

<lang:groovy id="referencingGroovyClass"
refresh-check-delay="0"
script-source="file:${project.build.directory}/target/test-classes/com/fg/mock/ReferencingGroovyClass.groovy">
<lang:property name="mainGroovyClass" ref="mainGroovyClass"/>
</lang:groovy>

</beans>

Bean refreshes to conform to actual source code occurs no more with Groovy 1.7.0.
Regretfully I wasn't able to find out where problem lies, so no patch is included.
