Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-611:
--------------------------------------------
Hi Jon,
thanks for your feedback. As for the documentation, do you have any suggestions
how we could add a kind of disclaimer that this feature should not be
overrated? I recall that there is at least a statement that Commons
Configuration has no ambitions to become a dependency injection framework.
I have no idea how many people use this functionality. In the past there have
been a few bug reports or improvement proposals in this area, so there seems to
be at least some user base.
> Provide methods to create Beans without knowledge of the Configuration's
> implementation
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CONFIGURATION-611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-611
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jon Weygandt
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current method to create a bean uses a pattern that requires the user to
> know of the Configuration's implementation.
> (https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide/howto_beans.html#Declaring_and_Creating_Beans)
> It should be possible to decouple this dependency and have some
> implementation independent method.
> One proposal would be to extend the BeanHelper code to implement this in a
> general way.
> Another proposal would be to have an interface that Configurations could
> extend to get the BeanDeclaration.
