Lance commented on TAP5-1213:
-----------------------------
{quote}I would recommend to return the raw type in this case (java.lang.Class
implements java.lang.reflect.Type). So it would behave like a (raw) property
binding.{quote}
I'm happy with that since the following code prints "class java.lang.String"
which proves that Method.getGenericReturnType() returns the raw class for a
non-generic methods
{code}
Method m = String.class.getMethod("toString", null);
System.out.println(m.getGenericReturnType());
{code}
> ComponentResources should give access to generic parameters of bound types

> Key: TAP5-1213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1213
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.1.0.7
> Reporter: Michael Wyraz
>
> ComponentResources can tell which type is bound to a given parameter via
> getBoundType(ParameterName). This is a great feature but only works for
> non-generic types. If a generic type is bound, it's impossible to access the
> generic parameters.
> Example:
> A component can bind to a Set of something. getBoundType returns
> "java.util.Set" for this parameter. So it' not possible to coerce the entries
> of this set to the target type.
