[jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-1518) Add support for JDK 1.5 Generics when defining pages and accessing bean properties

["Howard M. Lewis Ship (JIRA)" <de...@tapestry.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1518?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12562271#action_12562271 ] 

Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on TAPESTRY-1518:
------------------------------------------------

I'm slogging away at this one.

Something that will work today is that you can make your base class abstract, with abstract getters and setters for the parameterized type,  In this way, when you implement the abstract class, you will provide new methods that have the correct return type (even after type erasure) ... but then you need to redefine the field in each subclass, which is most of the work I think you are trying to avoid.

What I'm seeing is that the data available at runtime is very limited; in the case of a non-abstract base class, the Method objects are the Methods as defined on the base class (as type Object), which kind of makes sense.

> ProductPage.html
> <t:form t:id="MyForm">
>  <t:errors/>
>        <t:label for="input"/>
>        <input t:type="textfield" t:id="input" value="entity.name" size="40" t:validate="required,minlength=3"/> 
>       <br/>
>       <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
> </t:form>
> exception:
> Could not convert 'entity.name' into a component parameter binding: Class java.lang.Object does not contain a property named 'name' (within property expression 'entity.name').
> When I debug the app,I fiind PropertyConduitSourceImpl.readMethodForTerm before onPrepareFromMyForm method. 
> I think the method should be after onPrepareFromMyForm method.
