------------------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.1)
2.10
> Allow customisation of core classes via ClassUtil.getMappedObject
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JSPWIKI-155
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-155
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core & storage
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Simon Kitching
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.10
>
>
> The WikiEngine class uses the ClassUtils.getMappedObject method to locate its
> critical helper objects, rather than just call "new".
> The intentention of this existing code is for people to be able to override
> the core implementations with custom ones - with the warning that these core
> objects do not have stable public apis, and may change in any release.
> Unfortunately because (a) the returned object is cast to a concrete type, and
> (b) many of these concrete types are declared "final" this facility is
> actually almost useless.
> It would be nice for the "final" to be removed from these classes, and from
> their member methods so that getMappedObject becomes useful. Alternately,
> interfaces could be created for the concrete classes that WikiEngine
> currently uses, and all code modified to use the interface instead; the
> existing implementations could then remain final. That approach is much more
> intrusive though.
> Note that in discussions on the email lists it has been suggested that the
> "final" qualifier on these classes helps make jspwiki more secure. Personally
> I'm not at all convinced that is true though.
