> Spring has been updated in latest builds to ignore this problem (see http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-3799). There's some question about what the proper behavior is in this case... I didn't find any spec-level guidance... http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ljnelson/archive/2007/08/objects_and_str.html (search for 'dilemma') recommends logging the condition and ignoring the type mismatch.
> I'm going to remove the type checking.
