[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2316) EntityHome#getEntityClass() returns EntityManager.class rather than entity class

Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-2316:
-----------------------------------

I'm not even sure its possible with type erasure. You can only get information about types that are used in the *definition* of a class, not that are supplied a type parameters when *creating* and instance of the class.

Basically, we need to find another way to do this, or just return null.

> This is a strange one. The getEntityClass() is returning the wrong type parameter. It should be returning the first but it is instead returning the second.
> You will discover that this assertion fails.
> assert new EntityHome<SimpleEntity>().getEntityClass() == SimpleEntity.class;
