Folks, the rules for parameterized types in 5.2.3 are actually not appropriate for delegate injection points. With an ordinary injection point, you are instantiating an instance of the bean to inject into the injection point (so you get to pick the type parameters of the bean), whereas with a delegate injection point, you are instantiating a decorator to match the bean (so you get to pick the type parameters of the injection point). So I have added in the new section 8.3.1 which lays out the rules for delegate injection points, and pointed to this in 5.2. I have also made a slight change to the third bullet point of 5.2.3, which was unnecessarily restrictive in a corner case. -- Gavin King gavin.king(a)gmail.com http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Gavin http://hibernate.org http://seamframework.org
