[Springframework-developer] BeanWrapperImpl(clazz) behaivior

[Keith D. <kd...@cs...>]

Should the BeanWrapperImpl(class) usage call class.newInstance()?  I'd =
like to be able to introspect the PropertyDescriptors of a bean using =
BeanWrapper without having to use the Javabeans API directly.  Currently =
this call prevents me from doing so for beans that don't have no-arg =
constructors, which is the case for a lot of our beans these days.

I noticed this when working with the attributes validator Seth and I =
have been putting together -- Seth was using the reflection API directly =
to find validateable properties in getter source-level attributes, and I =
updated it to use the BeanWrapper API to simplfy the work we have to do, =
when I encountered this issue.
