> Key: CAY-942
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-942
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Scott Anderson
> Assignee: Ari Maniatis
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> I realize that this would restrict functionality to Java 5+, but I still
> believe it would be a good option to have for the code generator in the
> modeler:
> Add, as an option, generic types to Lists in generated classes. It's quite
> annoying to have to cast types; much of my code looks like this:
> for(Object o : someObject.getSomeManyToManyField()) {
> TheTypeIWanted ttiw = (TheTypeIWanted) o;
> ...
> }
> With generics, it would be:
> for(TheTypeIWanted ttiw : someObject.getSomeManyToManyField()) {
> ...
> }
> It'd also be nice if the core libraries had generics. For example, "Object
> DataObjectUtils.objectForPk(Class, int)" could be changed to "T
> DataObjectUtils.objectForPk(Class<T>, int)" to avoid casting.
