using the Widget.handlerManager with Composites

Hi,

I am using Composites and would like to be able reference the
HandlerManager methods. These seem to not be visible to me so I end
up duplicating the code that already exists on Widget for my
composites - is there any reason why these methods are friendly scoped
instead of protected scoped? Or, am I just thinking about this
incorrectly? Here is what I end up re-writing for my composites:

HandlerManager ensureHandlers() {
return handlerManager == null ? handlerManager =
createHandlerManager()
: handlerManager;
}

HandlerManager getHandlerManager() {
return handlerManager;
}

public final <H extends EventHandler> HandlerRegistration
addHandler(
final H handler, GwtEvent.Type<H> type) {
return ensureHandlers().addHandler(type, handler);
}

public void fireEvent(GwtEvent<?> event) {
if (handlerManager != null) {
handlerManager.fireEvent(event);
}
}

So, am I missing something here? This just doesn't make sense that I
would have to do this. Thanks.

Joe
