[Digester] Unable to instanciate inner classes

[Jeanfrancois Arcand]

Hi,

before investigating further, I would like to see if somebody else have seen this problem (or aware of...nothing in bugzilla). I have a framework that use the digester this way:

public class HandlerChainDispatcher{

[...]

protected void loadConfiguration(){
Digester digester = new Digester();
digester.setValidating(false);
digester.addObjectCreate("dispatcher/protocol-mappings/protocol-mapping", ProtocolMappingConfig.class); [...]

ProtocolMappingConfig is an inner class of HandlerChainDispatcher. ProtocolMappingConfig has a default constructor and it is not abstract.

I'm always having this exception:

[java] java.lang.InstantiationException: HandlerChainDispatcher. $ProtocolMappingConfig
[java] at [java] at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:291)
[java] at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:259)
[java] at org.apache.commons.digester.ObjectCreateRule.begin(ObjectCreateRule.ja
va:253)

I have tried making the inner class final without success.

My framework is very simple and doesn't use special classloader. I'm trying to track down the problem (and fix it). Any ideas?

Thanks,
