protected static class RequestElement implements AccessLogElement {

/**
* Constructs a new RequestElement.
*/
RequestElement() {

In 10.1.56, above change has caused breakage in code extending from Request=
Element .


         error: RequestElement() is not public in RequestElement; cannot be=
 accessed from outside package


Is this change intentional? If yes, what is the recommended alternate?


Thanks,
Amit
