Better type safety on proxy factory beans...

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

What do people think of enabling

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
        factory.setDataBinding(new AegisDatabinding());
        // perhaps not needed given the endpointInterface annotation
        factory.setServiceClass(DocumentDatabase.class);
        factory.setAddress(serviceUrl);
        return (DocumentDatabase) factory.create();

to change to

       return factory.create(DocumentDatabase.class);

by way of a quick <T> on the method?

I like the idea.   Would it be something like:

<T> T  create(Class<T> cls) {
    this.setServiceClass(cls);
    return cls.cast(create());
}

so you can then avoid the setServiceClass(..) call as well?
