[Springframework-developer] private constructor support change

[Norris, T. <tys...@be...>]

Hi all -

I asked a while back on the users list about private constructor
support, and would like to propose this change to
BeanUtils.instantiateClass(Class clazz):

            Constructor ctor =3D clazz.getDeclaredConstructor(new
Class[]{});
            if ((!Modifier.isPublic(ctor.getModifiers())) ||
(!Modifier.isPublic(clazz.getModifiers()))) {
				ctor.setAccessible(true);
			}
            return ctor.newInstance(new Object[]{});


I suppose it would also be good to provide the same support for
BeanUtils.instantiateClass(Constructor constructor, Object[] args).

I would provide a patch, but cannot access CVS at the moment.

Let me know if I can provide any other assistance to promote this change
(should I create a JIRA issue?)

Thanks!
Tyson
