A little bit more information I've gathered with a debugger:
At a certain moment, TypeUtils.getParametrization is called with a type that
is a TypeVariable of value T. That method doesn't deal with such types, and
returns null.
The result of the request where this happens is a
List<AValueProxy<AnEntityProxy>> where the entities are declared as such:
@ProxyFor(AnAbstractDomainEntity.class)
public interface AGenericEntityProxy extends EntityProxy {...}
@ProxyFor(AConcreteDomainEntity.class)
public interface AnEntityProxy extends AGenericEntityProxy {...}
@ProxyFor(ADomainClass.class)
public interface AValueProxy<T extends AGenericEntityProxy> extends
ValueProxy {...}
In the server:
public class AnAbstractDomainEntity {...}
public class AConcreteDomainEntity extends AnAbstractDomainEntity {...}
public class ADomainClass<T extends AnAbstractDomainEntity> {...}
When the TypeVariable T is given as type to TypeUtils.getParametrization,
the base parameter is the AGenericEntityProxy.class.
Is this generics construction I'm making illegal? Is there another way I can
implement a similar thing?
Thank you, and sorry for the annoyance.
