http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16880 Language specs violation in Commons Logging 1.0.2 in class LogFactoryImpl Summary: Language specs violation in Commons Logging 1.0.2 in class LogFactoryImpl Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Logging AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In Commons Logging 1.0.2, we have the folloing: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory defines method getContextClassLoader() as 'protected' org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl calls aforementioned method inside loadClass() from within the run() method of an anonymous subclass of PrivilegedAction. The IBM VisualAge Java compiler does not like that. It reports an error: "method not visible" It is right. The Java Language reference says in 6.6.1: [..], if the member or constructor is declared protected, then access is permitted only when one of the following is true: - Access to the member or constructor occurs from within the package containing the class in which the protected member or constructor is declared. (** not true in this case **) - Access is correct as described in §6.6.2. ("A protected member or constructor of an object may be accessed from outside the package in which it is declared only by code that is responsible for the implementation of that object.") (not true in our case...) So, I think this method has to be made public. Which is of course unfortunate. Similar problems have occurred with other stuff.
