[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-7193) managed-property injection fail type cast on managed beans which extends generics

managed-property injection fail type cast on managed beans which extends generics --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-7193 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7193 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.0 Environment: Win XP, Tomcat 6.0, JDK 5, Richfaces 3.3.0 GA Reporter: Zoltan Kiss Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich If I have a managed bean which extends a generic bean, than property injection from faces-config.xml doesn't sign error if I inject property with incompatible type. Eg.: public class MyGeneric<MYTYPE extends Serializable> { protected MYTYPE myProp; public void setMyProp(MYTYPE val) { this.myProp = val; } .... } public class MyBean extends MyGeneric<Long> { .... } <managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>myBean</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>MyBean</managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope> <managed-property> <property-name>myProp</property-name> <value>#{param.myPropVal}</value> </managed-property> </managed-bean> This example will inject the myPropVal request parameter (which is a String) into the myProp property of MyBean class which is a Long, and it won't throw ClassCastException. But later if I check the type of the property value it will be String - and probably it will fail my code somewhere else. If MyBean doesn't extend from a generic class, but has its own, Long typed property, than I will have the ClassCastException during the injection.
