----------------------------------
Attachment: SpringLocal2.java
Adding a new version (2) of SpringLocal.java. Fixed some caching bugs, added
comments.

> I got bitten with the cglib limitation of not handling final methods. This is
> a real pain because it can result in cryptic exceptions (like
> "IllegalArgumentException: Protected method: [a method name what I didn't
> call explicitly]"). I have checked wicket jira and I see others have problem
> with cglib too (like the need for a non-private no-arg constructor). While
> javassist can not solve all these problems, but at least a few of it (final
> method proxying works but no-arg constructors still needed).
> So I suggest to modify wicket-ioc to support both cglib and javassist. Like
> this (refactoring and extending o.a.w.proxy.LazyInitProxyFactory class):
> - make an IProxyFactory interface as common ancestor. Make 3 classes
> implementing it (JdkProxyFactory for interfaces, CglibProxyFactory to reflect
> current class proxying and JavassistProxyFactory as the new implementation)
> - make an IProxyInvocationHandler interface and an
> AbstractProxyInvocationHandler to hold common interface superclasses and
> methods (currently as protected static presented in LazyInitProxyFactory)
> - make the 3 invocation handlers implement AbstractProxyInvocationHandler (2
> are currently in LazyInitProxyFactory: JdkHandler and CGLibInterceptor and
> the 3rd would be the new JavassistMethodHandler)
> - make a new static classProxyFactory field in LazyInitProxyFactory that can
> be setted trough a public method. Its value should default to
> CglibProxyFactory (to be backward compatible).
> - modify LazyInitProxyFactory so it uses JdkProxyFactory for interfaces and
> the classProxyFactory for classes.
> - add javassist dependency to pom.xml as optional dependency
> (JavassistProxyFactory and JavassistMethodHandler should be outside of
> LazyInitProxyFactory class so they don't get loaded if they are not needed).
> In this way if someone wants to use javassist proxy instead of cglib only the
> followings are needed:
> - adding javassist to the dependent project's pom.
> - call LazyInitProxyFactory.setClassProxyFactory(new
> JavassistProxyFactory()); in the WebApplication init() method.
> I think these modifications could be made on the 1.4 branch too because they
> would not break the current public API of LazyInitProxyFactory (just add to
> it).
> Also could be made (but maybe these can't be done on the 1.4 branch because
> of compatibility):
> - pump cglib to 2.2 version from the current 2.1_3
> - factor cglib classes out from LazyInitProxyFactory and make cglib also an
> optional dependency
> I am willing to try to make a patch for this but first I would like to know
> the opinion of the wicket team about this.
