Allow retrieval of the collection instance from the bean -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBMICROCONT-35 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-35 Project: JBoss MicroContainer Issue Type: Task Components: MetaData Reporter: Adrian Brock Assigned To: Ales Justin Fix For: JBossMC_2_0_0 final See org.jboss.test.kernel.config.test.CollectionTestCase#TODOtestCustomCollectionPreInstantiated Same issues apply to Lists, Sets, Maps, Arrays, etc. i.e. If the bean already has a collection value for the property that can be retrieved using the getter, we should be able to use that collection instance. Need to think about the configuration options and rules. Current rules are: 1) Use class specified in metadata 2) Use class specified on setter (if not an interface) 3) Use ArrayList
