Oliver Heger commented on BEANUTILS-452:
----------------------------------------
Generics have been added and many warnings related to type-safety have been
fixed. Below are some comments about the progress and open points:
* Deprecated classes have not been touched; so there are still some warnings
remaining in the code.
* For some methods of {{ConverUtilsBean}} no suitable type parameters could be
found. The methods dynamically change the return type based on certain criteria.
* The same is true for {{LocaleConvertUtilsBean}}.
* In {{ResultSetIterator}} changes have been applied which may break
compatibility. The return type of the {{next()}} method has changed. I *assume*
that this class is mainly used internally by {{ResultSetDynaClass}} (however,
it is public).
* For {{BeanMap}} the logic type parameters are <String, Object>; however,
because of backwards compatibility, only <Object, Object> can be used.
Otherwise, method signatures would change in incompatible ways.
* In {{BeanComparator}} not all type-safety warnings could be fixed. Here an
internal comparator is used for comparing the values of bean properties. The
type of the properties is only known at runtime.
