object translator: optionally, specify interface
------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVEMIND-87
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVEMIND-87
Project: HiveMind
Type: New Feature
Components: framework
Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
It is very commonly the case when using the object translator that the object
must be assignable to a particular interface (or extend a particular class). In
most cases, the value obtained will be injected into a property of an object
and a ClassCastException will occur that will (hopefully) identify the invalid
contribution.
In some cases, the object may go into some form of untyped collection, causing
a class cast exception at a later point.
It would be nice if the object translator could enforce an assignability check
directly, ie.
<attribute name="object" translator="object:java.lang.Runnable"/>
