no no, what i say is CDI could handle generic beans as template it would duplicate as many time as needed to match all instances. the same as for @Dependent but with the scope you want. there is no technical blocking point.

Yes, you'd need an extension that registers multiple beans. But that's how it needs to be.

It's not sad. This simply can't work. If you inject the same instance into both @Inject List<String> stringList and @Inject List<Integer> integerList, then the user can do this:

stringList.add("some string");
integerList.add(15);
for (String str : stringList) {
    System.out.println(str);
}

which would result in a ClassCastException, right?

What Arne was concerned about is that we cannot inject the same instance into two different typed injection points. We can't have an object that is a list of strings and a list of integers at the same time. We would need such an object if we wanted to inject it into both @Inject List<String> and @Inject List<Integer>.

What I pointed out is that CDI has this covered, as it requires all beans with a parameterized bean class to be dependent scoped and by definition not sharable across multiple injection points. CDI will create a _new instance_ for each injection point, therefore it actually can inject bean MyClass<T> into both @Inject MyClass<String> and @Inject MyClass<Integer>, since it injects two different instances. There is no need to have a custom extension and register MyClass<T> multiple times (as MyClass<String>, MyClass<Integer>, etc.).

So this means the change at [1] was a mistake.

Hmm not sure i get the Dependent limit. Using a custom extension you'll register the same bean as many times as needed but using different values for parameters and the scope you want.

Why CDI wouldnt be able of it out of the box?

It is really something basic in 2013 and find really sad that's look so complicated. Please explain me what i'm missing if so.

In Java the same instance cannot be MyClass<String> and MyClass<Integer> at the same time.
We would do exactly that, if we had two injection points like
@Inject
MyClass<String> myStringClass;
@Inject
MyClass<Integer> myIntegerClass;
In plain java this could never be the same instances without heavy (compile-time) casting, thus this should not be the same instances in CDI.

Betreff: Re: [cdi-dev] CDI and generics

hmm think you misunderstood what i said (sorry if it was unclear)

basically my point was a generic bean or produced bean should be injectable everywhere so MyClass<T> should match @Inject MyClass<String>. In plain java we do: new MyClass<String>().



2013/7/15 Arne Limburg <arne.limburg@openknowledge.de>
Hi Romain,

In plain old java the behavior would depend on where the type variable is declared.
See the following samples:

public class MyClass<T> {

    List<T> myList = new ArrayList<T>();

    List<String> myStringList = myList;
}

public class MyClass {

    <T> List<T> myList() {
        return new ArrayList<T>();
    }

    List<String> myStringList = myList();
}

The first example does not work and the second works.

And even, if you would access myList from outside, the first example just works, if you instantiate myClass with the type argument:

List<String> myStringList = new MyClass<String>().myList;

To transfer this to CDI: We would need an instance of Bean MyClass with MyClass<String> in the type closure. And we would have to do this for every type argument that can be found within the injection points, i.e., if we had the injection points
@Inject
MyClass<String> myStringClass;
@Inject
MyClass<Integer> myIntegerClass;
either the type closure of my class would have to contain MyClass<String> AND MyClass<Integer> or we would need to have different beans for both types. I think, we cannot do either.

I suggest to handle TypeVariables declared at class level different than TypeVariables declared at (producer-)method level. Thus we could handle Mark Strubergs case and leave the rest like it is in plain old java.

I suggest to change the fourth bullet point of chapter 5.2.4:
"the required type parameter is an actual type, the bean type parameter is a type variable that is declared at class level and the actual type is assignable from the upper bound of the type variable,"
and add another bullet point:
"the required type parameter is an actual type, the bean type parameter is a type variable that is declared at method level and the actual type is assignable to the upper bound of the type variable, or"
And add a footnote: "If no explicit upper bound is defined, the implicit upper bound java.lang.Object is assumed"

BTW. Should we create a spec issue for that?

WDYT?
Regards,
Arne

P.S.: I don't think this is a backward compatibility issue, just because Weld and OpenWebBeans implemented it differently in the past. It just was not clear in 1.0 and is not in 1.1. The misleading part is the "if any" in the fourth bullet point. A TypeVariable ALWAYS has an upper bound. "If no bound is given for a type variable, Object is assumed" (Java Lang Spec 4.4)

+1, if we are no more aligned on something so simple in plain java we are useless i fear :(

(i used and saw it used in a lot of real apps)




2013/7/14 Mark Struberg <struberg@yahoo.de>
folks, this breaks backward compatibility


In CDI 1.0 it was perfectly fine to do the following

    @Produces
    @Dependent
    public <KEY, VALUE extends Serializable> Cache<KEY, VALUE> getDefaultCache(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) {
        Type ipType = injectionPoint.getType();
        String cacheName = null;

        if (ipType instanceof ParameterizedType) {
            ParameterizedType generic = (ParameterizedType) ipType;
            Type[] paramTypes = generic.getActualTypeArguments();
            if (paramTypes == null || paramTypes.length != 2) {
                throw new RuntimeException("illegal param types for generic type " + ipType);
            }

            if (paramTypes[1] instanceof Class) {
                cacheName = ((Class) paramTypes[1]).getSimpleName();
            }
            else {
                cacheName = paramTypes[1].toString();
            }
        }

        return getCache(cacheName);
    }



usage:


@Inject
private Cache<String, IdmUser> userCache;


With your new interpretation you basically trash this, right?
For having a generic producer you would need to create a distinct producer method for each and every usage. This just doesn't work out in practice...

No, it's not necessary. We'll fix this within CDITCK-349 [1]. Leave a
