[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-486) OpenJPAEntityManager.createInstance(Class cls) fails when T is an abstract class

["Patrick Linskey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-486?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12592689#action_12592689 ] 

Patrick Linskey commented on OPENJPA-486:
-----------------------------------------

I believe that the correct behavior is to generate a concrete impl on the fly.

>
> According to JavaDoc, OpenJPAEntityManager.createInstance() method 
>        public <T> T createInstance(Class<T> cls);
>      behaves as follows:
> "Create a new instance of type <code>cls</code>. If <code>cls</code> is
>   an interface or an abstract class whose abstract methods follow the
>   JavaBeans convention, this method will create a concrete implementation
>   according to the metadata that defines the class"
> The method fails when T is an abstract class.
