David Bosschaert resolved FELIX-6065.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Timothy Ward
> 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
> Assignee: Timothy Ward
> Priority: Major
> 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>(){});}}
