[Feature Request] "protected" for some fields and methods of ManagementClientImpl

Hi,
yes, overriding those methods is currently not optimal.

tl.sendData should actually be replaced with the standard send method, so writeMemory essentially requires send & sendWait.

If you need access to tl, you can also use the protected ctor. It's behavior is different when detaching (if you pass in the transport layer you own it, otherwise the mgmt client owns it)

Hi,
i tried using the protected ctor like this:

public SB2ManagementClientImpl(KNXNetworkLink link)  
        throws KNXLinkClosedException {  
    tl = new TransportLayerImpl(link);  
    super(link, tl);  
    ...  
}

but this leads to the problem, that super(..) must be the first call and i don't want to create the tl "outside", actually i don't want to handle the tl at all, instead ManagementClientImpl should handle it for me.
I could avoid that by using send and sendWait, but they are private.

If you are interested, under https://github.com/selfbus/software-arm-lib/.../SBManagementClientImpl.java you'll find my dirty workaround.

Hi @Darthyson,
a few methods are now protected, so I think your use-case should work without reflection (there is no snapshot yet).

Hi,
first tests were successful. Thanks a lot. That makes life much easier. Is there a timeline for a v2.6-snapshot? calimero-rxtx is already pointing to it.

[bmalinowsky]

The latest snapshot now contains that commit.

OK, i was missing the snapshot repository...

maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' }

Thanks again.
