[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-611) Provide methods to create Beans without knowledge of the Configuration's implementation

["Jon Weygandt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-611?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14953491#comment-14953491 ] 

Jon Weygandt commented on CONFIGURATION-611:
--------------------------------------------

The more I look into what I wanted to do with Beans, the more I realize that this type of pattern is not really necessary. For this reason I will be OK with this being Resolved as "Won't Fix".

As Oliver noted in emails this was used internally, and exposed publicly as it seemed useful. I wonder how many are using it? It may be that the documentation made this look too important, and the use of it will tie one to XML, which may not be desired.

> The current method to create a bean uses a pattern that requires the user to know of the Configuration's implementation. (https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide/howto_beans.html#Declaring_and_Creating_Beans)
> It should be possible to decouple this dependency and have some implementation independent method.
> One proposal would be to extend the BeanHelper code to implement this in a general way.
> Another proposal would be to have an interface that Configurations could extend to get the BeanDeclaration.
