-----------------------------------
Summary: The Converter doesn't support Wildcard types
Key: FELIX-6065
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6065
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Converter
Affects Versions: converter-1.0.2
Reporter: Timothy Ward
Fix For: converter-1.0.6
If you pass a wildcard type to the converter then it fails to do the
conversion. This is an odd thing to do, but it is definitely possible to work
out what the type is.
For example:
to(new TypeReference<Map<String, ?>>(){});
can be converted to a Map<String, Object>, and
to(new TypeReference<Map<String, ? extends List<String>>>(){});
can be converted to a Map<String, List<String>>
It is unclear what it would mean to use
{{ to(new TypeReference<Map<String, ? super Integer>(){});}}
