Fully adopt Java Generics in all of Mifos code, for better type safety and to
catch possible subtle bugs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MIFOS-4436
URL: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-4436
Project: mifos
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michael Vorburger
In MIFOS-4435 I've found a subtle bug, typical for the times from before when
we had type safe generics in Java.
MIFOS-4435 has a patch for that specific issue. This issue generalizes the
problem, and suggests that it may be worthwhile to invest some Mifos dev time
to fully adopt Java Generics in all of Mifos code, AKA remove all the "... is a
raw type. References to generic type ... should be parameterized" warnings seen
in Eclipse today.
This will lead to better type safety and avoid bugs in the future, and may
identify other bugs à la MIFOS-4435 in the existing code base.
Note that such bugs typically do not lead to unnoticed subtle functional issues
at runtime, but type case exceptions at runtime. The value of doing this work
would be in identifying such bugs at compile time.
