[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-219?page=all ]
Henning Schmiedehausen resolved VELOCITY-219.
---------------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Ok, after some debugging and code browsing, I'm a bit confused.
The ArrayList object comes out of ASTObjectArray#value() (for the normal array
case) or ASTIntegerRange#value() for the range ([1..10]) case. They both create
an ArrayList object. However, the actual API *is* Object
value(InternalContextAdapter context), so there is no guarantee that this will
be any assumed type anyway.
We do have not a single method (at least none that I could find) that returns
an explicit ArrayList anywhere. We have a very very small number of explicit
ArrayList variable declarations that I will change to List. But aside from that
I see nothing that we could/must change for API 2.0.
If you have more information, please reopen that issue. Thanks.
