[jira] [Resolved] (TAP5-1493) Property expressions on properties
that are covariant on a base class use the type of the base class property,
not the covariant subclass

> Key: TAP5-1493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1493
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tapestry-core, tapestry-ioc
> Affects Versions: 5.2
> Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
> Assignee: Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: month-of-tapestry
> Fix For: 5.4

>
> public abstract class AbstractFoo
> {
> public abstract AbstractBar getBar();
> }
> public class Foo extends AbstractFoo
> {
> public Bar getBar();
> }
> Here property bar is covariant; the subclass (Foo) changes the type of the return value (from AbstractBar to just Bar). Assuming that Bar is a subclass of AbstractBar, that's fine.
> The bug is that in this circumstance, the PropertyConduitSource sees the type of
> property "bar" of class Foo as AbstractBar, not Bar.
> Interestingly, a little debugging showed that the getter method for property bar was "public AbstractBar Foo.getBar()" ... in other words, much like with Generics, covariant return types may be largely
> a fiction of the compiler inserting the necessary casts in place.
