As far as being reluctant to institute the patch, it simply > changes "private" to "public" on the getMatchingAccessibleMethod(), should > have minimal or no impact on testing, etc. it's an addition to the MethodUtils API which will need to be maintained. changing a method from private to public means that it has to wait until the next major version before it can be removed. > Even though this class is being deprecated, Digester still relies on it > and > patches that I submitted for some of the Digester classes rely on this > patch > being in place. digester will probably be switching to use the version in lang rather than beanutils. but lang has to have an official release before digester can (think about) depending on it. lang should be released very soon and a lot of related issues will be discussed when that happens. i'd prefer to sit on this issue until i can discuss it with the lang reflection people but as i said i will take a look at your patch and see what i think. - robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
