Oliver Heger created CONFIGURATION-554:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Make BeanHelper an instantiable class
Key: CONFIGURATION-554
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-554
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.9
Reporter: Oliver Heger
Fix For: 2.0
Currently, {{BeanHelper}} is a static utility class. It has some state (e.g.
the default {{BeanFactory}}) which is therefore (more or less) globally shared.
As mentioned in CONFIGURATION-486, this approach is thread-hostile.
The topic was discussed on the ML (http://markmail.org/thread/abgze5qj34sjcflp)
with the conclusion to make {{BeanHelper}} a regular bean class. Thus multiple
instances can be created with their own specific configuration. It is still
possible to have a shared default instance, e.g. by defining a constant field.
