Hi Carsten, I saw you changed some instance members in Woody classes from private to protected. I used to have the habbit of making everything protected by default, with the reasoning of making classes easier subclassable in the future. Woody was the first project I tried to do it the other way around: make everything private by default, and see how quickly that would bring me into troubles.
I'm now wondering if the changes you did to Woody are simply part of applying some general design principles or if you came into trouble because of private members? Or to put it in another way: do you think instance members should always be made protected by default? -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
