[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-455) Allow building of TypeLiteral's with dynamic types

[Martin Kouba (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-455?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13467709#comment-13467709 ] 

Martin Kouba commented on CDI-455:
----------------------------------

I think we should add {{Event.select()}} and {{Instance.select()}} variants which also accept {{java.lang.reflect.Type}}. The argument should be checked at runtime and {{IllegalArgumentException}} should be thrown if the type is not a subtype of the event/required type.

Also the trick with {{ChocolateEater}} described above would only work for simple parameterized types and not for more complex use cases.

> It could be useful the building of {{TypeLiteral}}'s, but using dynamic types. This way, the types can be indicated at runtime and not in compile. This functionality is "doable" as it is done at [Guice|https://github.com/google/guice], a similar injection framework, and as [this post shows|http://luisfsgoncalves.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/generic-bindings-with-guice/].
