I don't see anything on the CGLIB web page (in about 1 minute of looking) that says it can get around private and protected. It looks like something that disassembles class files and reassembles them into new classes from them with additional interfaces. That's a lot different than being able to reach into an already-existing class instance and get at its private variables. The Sun JVM has some setting that turns off strict enforcement but with enforcement on, private is supposed to be private. The whole concept of applet security depends on that. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
