Class BeanProvider

java.lang.Object
  com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.javabean.BeanProvider

public class BeanProvider
extends Object

Pure Java ObjectFactory that instantiates objects using standard Java reflection, however the types of objects that can be constructed are limited.

Can newInstance: classes with public visibility, outer classes, static inner classes, classes with default constructors and any class that implements java.io.Serializable. Cannot newInstance: classes without public visibility, non-static inner classes, classes without default constructors. Note that any code in the constructor of a class will be executed when the ObjectFactory instantiates the object.
