[jboss-dev] generic collection item type

[Ales Justin]

This is not just Collection specific.

Doing this (TypeInfo[] types = typeInfo.getActualTypeArguments();) on 
JBossEnterpriseBeansMetaData would return you those 3 types:

(pseudo code ;-)
types[] = {EnterpriseBeanMetaData, JBossEnterpriseBeanMetaData, 
EnterpriseBeansMetaData};

This approach assumes that the component type can be determined with

TypeInfo[] types = typeInfo.getActualTypeArguments();
if (types != null)
     elementType = types[0];

This won't work for this class
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/common/jbossxb-builder/trunk/src/test/java/org/jboss/ejb/metadata/jboss/JBossEnterpriseBeansMetaData.java

for which its super class should be checked for type arguments and the
component type is the second argument.

I guess I'll need to specify the component type with an annotation. But
it would be nice to have something like Class.getComponentType() to work
for generic collections too.
