Support for generic types ------------------------- Key: JASSIST-101 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JASSIST-101 Project: Javassist Issue Type: Feature Request Environment: Java >= 5.0 Reporter: Jose Freire Assignee: Shigeru Chiba Javassist currently doesn't support generic types, coercing the generic properties to Object.class. As an example, if we have: public class GenericsTest<E extends Object> { private E value; public E getValue() { return value; } public void setValue(E value) { this.value = value; } } and we have: public class IntegerTest extends GenericsTest<Integer> { } Javassist will not recognize the property "value" type as Integer.class, but as Object.class, like: public class IntegerTest$$javassist$$ { private Object value; public Object getValue() { return value; } public void setValue(Object value) { this.value = value; } } What has do be done, while processing the property descriptors of class is: 1) is the propertyDescriptor.getPropertyType == Object.class? If yes then continue to step 2 2) is java version >= 1.5.0? If yes then continue to step 3 3) return GenericReflectionUtil.resolveGenericType(<Class>, <propertyDescriptor>); I'll upload GenericReflectionUtil.java and ResolveGenericTypeTestCase.java for your review. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
