--- Comment #4 from Remy Maucherat <r...@apache.org> --- The feature was added by Rainer in Jan 2015. The idea of the bean factory is to avoid having to use custom object factories (personally: I think using custom object factories is usually better), and this forceString increased flexibility further. Normally, once you get to the point where you can configure the JNDI environment of Tomcat, you can also configure everything else, so limiting forceString shouldn't add any extra safety. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
