Pete Muir commented on WELDX-188:
---------------------------------
Weld already has an impl of this, we can port it to WeldX.
What circumstances do you need this in? (Wondering as I have a feeling you
shouldn't need this).
> Provide utility to check if Type is assignable to another Type
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WELDX-188
> URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELDX-188
> Project: Weld Extensions
> Issue Type: Feature Request
> Reporter: Dan Allen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0.0.Beta2
>
>
> Often times when writing an extension, you need to know if one Type is
> assignable from another Type. This is a more sophisticated version of
> Class#isAssignableFrom(Class) which takes into account paramaterized types.
> given
> parameterized type Bean<N extends Number>
> then
> type Bean<Number> is assignable from type Bean<Integer>
> One area where this is useful is when checking if a bean type is more
> specific than another bean type. It's not sufficient to assume the bean type
> is a simple class.
> Something similar to what is provided by:
> http://google-gson.googlecode.com/svn-history/r442/trunk/gson/src/main/java/com/google/gson/reflect/TypeToken.java
