SocketUtils should not be an abstract class [SPR-12169]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sam Brannen opened SPR-12169 and commented

Status Quo

Per the Javadoc for the SocketUtils() constructor, SocketUtils can be instantiated as a Spring Bean in XML configuration files; however, SocketUtils is currently abstract which prevents such usage.

Deliverables

1. Make SocketUtils a concrete class
2. Backport to Spring Framework 4.0.8

Completed as described in the comments for GitHub commit 559e81b:

Make SocketUtils a concrete class

Per the Javadoc for the SocketUtils() constructor, SocketUtils can be
instantiated as a Spring Bean in XML configuration files; however,
SocketUtils is currently abstract which prevents such usage.

This commit removes the 'abstract' declaration thereby allowing
SocketUtils to be instantiated as a Spring bean.
