ServletTestExecutionListener is not enabled by default in abstract base test classes [SPR-11340]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sam Brannen opened SPR-11340 and commented

Status Quo

The ServletTestExecutionListener was introduced in Spring Framework 3.2 and is enabled by default when using the TestContext framework without specifying custom listeners via @TestExecutionListeners. However, the ServletTestExecutionListener has not been added to the default set of listeners for Spring's abstract base test classes.

Deliverables

1. Prepend ServletTestExecutionListener to the set of default listeners in AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests.
2. Prepend ServletTestExecutionListener to the set of default listeners in AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests.
