[Springnet-developer] Object creation invoking protected constructors?

[Erich E. <E.E...@di...>]

I'd like to revisit the design decision to not allow accessing =
non-public types/constructors/methods/properties and hear your opinions =
on this.

I recently ran into this issue myself when trying to provide a DI =
capable wrapper for "System.Web.UI.SimpleHandlerFactory" from System.Web =
assembly. This type is internal and can't be instantiated using Spring =
which required to implement a (non-trivial) workaround. The easy way =
would be to remove the restriction to public types.

I know of opinions out there to don't enforce any restrictions within =
the framework. Developers should know what they are doing and if someone =
wants to instantiate a non-public type, let him do it at his own risk.

Other opinions?

Erich
