[TYPO3-core] TYPO3 6.0: namespaced classes and typo3/*.php scripts

[François Suter]

Hi all,

At the root of the "typo3/" folder we have a lot of PHP files which are 
called directly during backend operations. In my particular case I was 
focused on wizard_forms.php, which we commonly xclass to implement 
custom input types.

This proved impossible with TYPO3 6.0 because the wizard_forms.php 
itself tries to instantiate "SC_wizard_forms" instead of 
"TYPO3\\CMS\\Backend\\Controller\\Wizard\\FormsController":

require_once 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::extPath('backend') . 
'Classes/Controller/Wizard/FormsController.php';
// Make instance:
$SOBE = 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('SC_wizard_forms');
$SOBE->init();
...

Changing to:

$SOBE = 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\\CMS\\Backend\\Controller\\Wizard\\FormsController');

still works fine and makes xclassing possible again.

Some other typo3/*.php files have been changed to instantiate the new 
class, which seems correct. I just wanted to validate that before 
submitting a patch for at least wizard_forms.php, but also for all other 
typo3/*.php files (where needed). So is that correction indeed right?

Cheers
