Hi !
I just loaded fortress-web in my favorite IDE, and I have many
compilation errors. One of them :
"The method setObject(Object) of type AuditAuthzListModel<T> must
override or implement a supertype method"
on
@Override
public void setObject(Object object)
{
log.debug(".setObject count: " + object != null ?
((List<AuthZ>)object).size() : "null");
this.authZs = (List<AuthZ>) object;
}
When you build this code, it will compile with no error. Except that...
public class AuditAuthzListModel<T extends Serializable> extends Model
with
public class Model<T extends Serializable> implements IModel<T>
and :
public interface IModel<T> extends IDetachable
{
void setObject(final T object);
}
The problem is that we are using two different kind of types here : a
generic one (T) and a real one (Object). It does not fit.
At this point, I wonder why is the main class is generic at all ?
What about having :
public class AuditAuthzListModel extends Model<List<AuthZ>>
Sadly, this can't be done, because List<AuthZ> is not extending
serializable...
So it's clear we are mixing concepts here that don't fit well all
together. I'm quite sure that the class declaration :
public class Model<T extends Serializable> implements IModel (note the
missing <T> after IModel)
and the setObject(Object) declaration are just the way they are to get
rid of the pb with the Model<List<AuthZ>> declaration...
Generics are a PITA...
