This is a known limitation. >From the digester java doc:
Known Limitations Accessing Public Methods In A Default Access Superclass There is an issue when invoking public methods contained in a default access superclass. Reflection locates these methods fine and correctly assigns them as public. However, an IllegalAccessException is thrown if the method is invoked. MethodUtils contains a workaround for this situation. It will attempt to call setAccessible on this method. If this call succeeds, then the method can be invoked as normal. This call will only succeed when the application has sufficient security privilages. If this call fails then a warning will be logged and the method may fail. Digester uses MethodUtils and so there may be an issue accessing methods of this kind from a high security environment. If you think that you might be experiencing this problem, please ask on the mailing list. -----Original Message----- From: Radhika Menon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Simon Kitching Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Jakarta Commons:Digester - Getting IllegalAccessException Hi , I have a bean called RulesConfig which has getters/setters for properties "appName" and "precedenceClass".This class has "default" access. Before parsing,I create an object of this bean and push it onto the digester's stack.Then I call the rule digester.setProperties matching a pattern, which has to call the setters of appName and precedenceClass. But,the call to "setAppName" or "setPrecedenceClass" gives the IllegalAccessException. When I make the class "public", I am not getting this exception. Any ideas on why I am getting this behaviour ?
