[weld-dev] Use of "to" and "from" when refering to assignments in section 5.2.3

In section 5.2.3 the spec seems to be misworded with respsect to "assignable to" and "assignable from". The start of this section states (capitalization addded): "A parameterized BEAN TYPE is considered ASSIGNABLE TO a parameterized REQUIRED TYPE if they have identical raw type and for each parameter:" and then it list as one of the cases: "the REQUIRED TYPE parameter is an ACTUAL TYPE, the BEAN TYPE parameter is a TYPE VARIABLE and the ACTUAL TYPE is ASSIGNABLE TO the upper bound, if any, of the TYPE VARIABLE" This seems to state that a Bean Type is assignable to a Required Type if ... the Required type is assignable to the upper bound of the Bean Type. This seems to then be contradicting itself, and the reading of that second part should be: "the required type parameter is an actual type, the bean type parameter is a type variable and the actual type is ASSIGNABLE FROM the upper bound, if any, of the type variable" The question comes down which injection below is valid: public class C1<T extends MediumClass> { @Produces ... ArrayList<T> m1() @Inject ... ArrayList<SmallClass> s1; @Inject ... ArrayList<BigClass> b1; where MediumClass extends SmallClass and BigClass extends MediumClass Seems like the injection using SmallClass should work, since what is produced will be a MediumClass which will have all the methods needed by SmallClass. And the injection using BigClass should fail, since what is produced will be a MediumClass which will not have all the methods needed by BigClass. But, according to the spec (and what seems to be enforced by the TCK) is that since Required Type (in this case SmallClass and BigClass), must be assignable TO the Bean Type (Medium Class), therefore the BigClass assignment is the one that works, since BigClass is assignable TO MediumClass. But since MediumClass doesn't have all the methods that BigClass has, then what is produced will be insufficient for the injection. So, is the spec misworded here? Which of these injections should be resolved, and which one should give an error? Bill W.
