[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2316) EntityHome#getEntityClass() returns EntityManager.class rather than entity class

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2316?page=all ]

Pete Muir closed JBSEAM-2316.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Done

It only worked before by chance:

public abstract class NodeHome<N extends WikiNode, P extends WikiNode> extends EntityHome<P> {
}

public class DocumentHome extends NodeHome<WikiDocument, WikiDirectory> {}

would have guessed the EntityClass as WikiDocument, not WikiDirectory.

So in complex situation's like this you should implement your own getEntityClass() system (perhaps based on generic inference).

I can't see a better way to handle this given type erasure.

> This is a strange one. The getEntityClass() is returning the wrong type parameter. It should be returning the first but it is instead returning the second.
> You will discover that this assertion fails.
> assert new EntityHome<SimpleEntity>().getEntityClass() == SimpleEntity.class;
