Lance commented on TAP5-1493:
-----------------------------
Not sure if it helps, but many years ago I noticed that in circumstances like
this, there were two instances of the `java.lang.reflect.Method`. This could be
seen in either Class.getMethods() or Class.getDeclaredMethods() (I can't
remember which).
>From memory, I think you distinguish between them via `Method.getModifiers()`.
>I think the base method returned `true` from
>`Modifiers.isVolatile(method.getModifiers()))`. Perhaps a fix could be to use
>the non-volatile version of the method?

> Property expressions on properties that are covariant on a base class use the
> type of the base class property, not the covariant subclass

> Key: TAP5-1493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1493
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tapestry-core, tapestry-ioc
> Affects Versions: 5.2
> Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: month-of-tapestry
> Fix For: 5.4

>
> public abstract class AbstractFoo
> {
> public abstract AbstractBar getBar();
> }
> public class Foo extends AbstractFoo
> {
> public Bar getBar();
> }
> Here property bar is covariant; the subclass (Foo) changes the type of the
> return value (from AbstractBar to just Bar). Assuming that Bar is a subclass
> of AbstractBar, that's fine.
> The bug is that in this circumstance, the PropertyConduitSource sees the type
> of
> property "bar" of class Foo as AbstractBar, not Bar.
> Interestingly, a little debugging showed that the getter method for property
> bar was "public AbstractBar Foo.getBar()" ... in other words, much like with
> Generics, covariant return types may be largely
> a fiction of the compiler inserting the necessary casts in place.
