Is there a reason for keeping the XMLBeanInfos inside the Introspector. I would prefer something like an XMLBeanInfoRegistry class, which keeps the instances. This would make it easier to provide XMLBeanInfo, which might me generated on the fly without using an Introspector.
For handling XMLBeanInfos i guess a pluggable mechanism could be the right way, since there are different opinions about how and where to store XMLBeanInfos. BTW: I got my code running and it works well, but I still use the Introspector to get an XMLBeanInfo and modify it the way I want to use it. - Harald > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Stephen Colebourne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Sonntag, 17.
