[jibx-users] Default constructor public?

[Joost Cassee]

When I use a mapping for objects in a collection, like this:

<collection add-method="addFoo" item-type="Foo" usage="optional">
 <structure name="foo" type="Foo"/>
</collection>

<mapping abstract="true" class="Foo" ordered="false">
  ...
</mapping>



<mapping abstract="true" class="Bar" ordered="false">

</mapping>

... then suddenly I need a public default constructor in Foo.

A protected default constructor in class Foo seems to be enough. However if I have a mapping like this: <structure name="foo" get-method="getFoo" set-method="setFoo" usage="optional"/> Why must the default constructor be public, when JiBX can work perfectly well with private fields?
