Can i Create a new instance of a Handler. [message #651235]

I have an abstract handler which extends AbstractHandler. I want to be able to create an anonymous class which extends this abstract handler. In this anonymous class, i want to give implmentation for the abstract methods. However, to do this, i need to call the constructor of the handler.

Is it okay to instantiate a new Handler? I am asking this because I am aware that handlers can be invoked using Command.ExecuteWithChecks() method. I dont know if instantiating a handler and calling activateHandler() is a good thing to do?

Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

While creating a view an acceptable pattern is:
IHandlerService hs
= (IHandlerService) getSite().getService(IHandlerService.class);
IHandler handler = new AbstractHandler() {
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event)
throws ExecutionException {
// do whatever
return null;
}
};
hs.activateHandler("command.id", handler);

Is this what you mean?
