[jira] [Commented] (PORTLETBRIDGE-234) remove(String) in BridgeRequestScopeRepository and remove(Object) in HashMap have the same erasure.

["Ross Clewley (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PORTLETBRIDGE-234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14003635#comment-14003635 ] 

Ross Clewley commented on PORTLETBRIDGE-234:
--------------------------------------------

The signature of the remove method in BridgeRequestScopeRepository is 
  public BridgeRequestScope remove(String key)

Confusingly, BridgeRequestScope is not a class name in this context but a generics type parameter name (this is somewhat misleading and probably ought to be cleaned up):

public class BridgeRequestScopeRepository<String, BridgeRequestScope extends ConcurrentMap<String, Object>>
  extends LinkedHashMap<String, BridgeRequestScope>

Therefore BridgeRequestScope will be erased at runtime, leading to the conflict with the superclass method from HashMap which is declared as:

public V remove(Object key) { }.
