[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - Re: AbstractCollectionMetaData fails with optional add() ope

[adrian@jboss.org]

There's no need to start issuing warnings.
This stuff has never been released GA.

The correct order for this processing is 
(and should always have been - if the user is explicit, do what they want):

1) Any class specified on the list element (like above) - new collection
2) Any class specified on the parent element (the typeInfo passed into getValue), 
e.g.

  |    <property name="blah" class="java.util.ArrayList"><list/></property>
  |  - new collection
3) The getter - use the returned collection (if any)
4) the default collection type - new collection

The only reason for the preinstantiated flag would be to turn off (3)
but you can always do this anyway by using (1) or (2).
