Hi all, We use betwixt in our project, but we found a problem which we couldn't solve with the actual implementation:
When a property is an interface type then the actual class of the property instance is not saved to the xml -> when I read it back the reader won't be able to instantiate it. The same problem occurs if want a collection of interfaces. I've checked the docs and the mailing lists, and seen that some other guys has the same problem. I have 2 questions: 1. Is this problem already solved somehow? If it is, how? 2. If it isn't I have a proposal: As a workaround I've implemented a subclass of XMLIntrospector that saves the actual class as a property of the element. A BeanCreator is able to create instances from this representation, so if you add it to the bean creator chain it solves both problems. The functionality is working, but it still lacks some polishing and documenting. If you are interested in it I can finish it, and contribute it to the project. The only ugly thing that my introspector contains a big copy pasted method from the original one, so some refactoring would be desirable in both classes. Should I work on it and send a patch with the finished version?
