[Springframework-developer] Updates to NamespaceHandler

[Rob H. <ro...@in...>]

All,

After lengthy discussion, Juergen and I decided to update the  
NamespaceHandler interface to *not* expose the BeanDefinitionParser  
and BeanDefinitionDecorator interfaces to the caller. There are now  
just parse() and decorate() on the NH interface which are called  
directly. The NamespaceHandlerSupport class remains and still  
delegates to BDP and BDD implementations, and this remains the  
recommended way to implement your own NH - only the caller side  
changes. Thankfully, since most people are using  
NamespaceHandlerSupport no changes will be required in your code  
since NHS will implement the new contract changes for you.

Kind Regards,

Rob
