JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "Using generics info in CollectionPropertyHandler": http://community.jboss.org/message/525525#525525 Author : Ales Justin Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/alesj Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, it could be that this conversion is not needed. I didn't look too much into details when I dropped it in there, sorry.   The goal of this change was to check the child type, which was missing before. Leaving that check and removing the convert should be fine then. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/525525#525525
