Comment #5 on issue 436 by limpbizkit: Provide access to Guice's own
internal TypeConverters
http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=436
I gotta reject this patch because it overreaches the Guice injector to
become a general
type conversion tool. We actually have a full type converter framework
that's built
upon Guice, but it's currently Google proprietary. Like a solid framework,
that
converter architecture is fully typesafe (it doesn't return Object
instances), it supports
lots of target types (protobuffers, possibly DOM elements), plus
polymorphism and
composition.
I'd like to avoid supporting weak converters when I know that it's
insufficient for
general purpose use.
That said, there is a market for a general purpose type converter
framework. I'm not
sure whether ours is worthy of open sourcing, or if we have the manpower to
do so.
