Stuart Douglas updated SOLDER-14:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.0.0.Beta2)
> Provide utility to check if Type is assignable to another Type
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLDER-14
> URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-14
> Project: Seam Solder
> Issue Type: Feature Request
> Reporter: Dan Allen
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
> Something similar to what is provided by: http://google-gson.googlecode.com/svn-history/r442/trunk/gson/src/main/java/com/google/gson/reflect/TypeToken.java
