[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-2289) Provide no-arg constructor for SeamExpressionFactory

Provide no-arg constructor for SeamExpressionFactory ---------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2289 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2289 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: EL Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: Florent Guilllaume Priority: Minor I'd like a public no-arg constructor to SeamExpressionFactory: public SeamExpressionFactory() { super(INSTANCE); } The reason is that I want a facelet view handler extending FaceletViewHandler with the Seam expression factory. To do that I would use: @Override protected Compiler createCompiler() { Compiler compiler = super.createCompiler(); compiler.setFeature(Compiler.EXPRESSION_FACTORY, "org.jboss.seam.el.SeamExpressionFactory"); return compiler; } But a Compiler.EXPRESSION_FACTORY expects a class with a no-arg constructor (see com.sun.facelets.compiler.Compiler#createExpressionFactory and #featureInstance). As a workaround I can use my own subclass of SeamExpressionFactory but the super constructor SeamExpressionFactory(ExpressionFactory expressionFactory), which I need to call, is package-private. So I have to use the package org.jboss.seam.el just to call that constructor, which is not nice. Just having a no-arg constructor would simplify all this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
