In my unit tests I sometimes have the situation where I need to register my custom converters for ConvertUtils in order to make everything behave as it would in real life.

Normally the conversions are incidental to the test so it seems unnecessary to need to set up ConvertUtils.

Seeing inside the ConvertUtils class that there is a ConvertUtilsBean, I had the idea of using the ConvertUtilsBean in my classes, and initializing it via dependency injection.

Then I could mock it.

However all access to the ConvertUtilsBean via the singleton getInstance factory method is protected. Would it be unwise to instantiate it myself in my dependency injection container?


Thanks
Adam
