[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-297?page=comments#action_12461439 ] David J. M. Karlsen commented on LANG-297: ------------------------------------------
It may well be featuritis. :) Initially I wanted this for an spring exception converting interceptor; but I fell down on a solution using Class' isAssignableFrom() instead. Though, it might be needed for some other use case - so we can just let the patch stick around in jira for an unscheduled release. > Addition to ObjectUtils: public static List getAllSuperclassesUpTo( Class > cls, Class upToClass ) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LANG-297 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-297 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Environment: N/A > Reporter: David J.
