Summary: Clarification of Converter.getAdapter()
Key: FELIX-5338
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5338
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Converter
Reporter: David Leangen
Hi!
The intent of Converter.getAdapter() is not quite clear to me.
{code}
/**
* Obtain an adapter to this converter. The adapter behaves just like
the
* converter except for the exception rules registered with is. For more
* details see the {@link Adapter} interface.
*
* @return An adapter to this converter.
*/
Adapter getAdapter();
{code}
Is this supposed to return an *existing* Adapter? Or rather, should it return a
*new* Adapter.
My guess is the latter, and the implementation code aligns with my expectation.
However, it is not clear from the documentation or the API.
Suggestion: the method should be renamed to "newAdapter()".
