[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JASSIST-127) interface proxy creation fails if there are methods with covariant return types
interface proxy creation fails if there are methods with covariant return types
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JASSIST-127
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JASSIST-127
Project: Javassist
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.12.0.GA
Environment: Java 1.6.
Reporter: Paul Pogonyshev
Assignee: Shigeru Chiba
Creation of proxy class for interface Bar fails:
public interface Foo
{
Foo getSelf ();
}
public interface Bar extends Foo
{
Bar getSelf ();
}
This is because of covariant return types of method getSelf(). However, as this is
permitted by the language (i.e. subtype can restrict the return type further), I consider
this a bug.
