Wes Wannemacher closed WW-2770.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

As Musachy said, this was a request to allow Strings. Although the type-safety thing would be nice, it would also mean extra imports and knowledge about the actual class implementing a result type. If you want to create a patch that we can apply to conventions that supports both, reopen the issue and attach a patch, otherwise you won't see any traction on this.

> It feels like a huge step backwards from the Codebehind plugin to use a string as the type parameter to the @Result annotation. I much prefer the type safety and IDE support provided by using the actual result class.  The same can be said of the interceptor annotations.
