https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-14
Project: Seam Solder
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Reflections
Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Beta1
Reporter: Dan Allen
Assignee: Dan Allen
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.0.0.Beta3
Often times when writing an extension, you need to know if one Type is assignable from
another Type. This is a more sophisticated version of Class#isAssignableFrom(Class) which
takes into account paramaterized types.
given
parameterized type Bean<N extends Number>
then
type Bean<Number> is assignable from type Bean<Integer>
One area where this is useful is when checking if a bean type is more specific than
another bean type. It's not sufficient to assume the bean type is a simple class.
