[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-455?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Lucas Ventura Carro commented on CDI-455: ----------------------------------------- As [~jharting] told in the mailing list, type safety cannot be guaranteed. But this will happen if the {{TypeLiteral}} has the raw and parameterized types as arguments. But IMHO the usual use case is that raw type is fixed, but not the parameterized types of it. In example, following [this of guice|http://luisfsgoncalves.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/generic-bindings-wi...], CDI {{TypeLiteral}} could be built as: {code} new TypeLiteral(ChocolateEater.class, argument.getClass()){} {code} And efectively, type safety would be lost. But if we know that we will have an static {{ChocolateEater}} but a dynamic {{Chocolate}} parameter, we can have type safety and the {{TypeLiteral}} could be built as: {code} new TypeLiteral<ChocolateEater<? extends Chocolate>>(argument.getClass()){} {code} I'm I correct? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.1#6329)
