How to generate a field with a generic type [message #903769]

Hi,

I'm using the following code to generate a field:

val mapType = entity.newTypeRef(typeof(Map))
members += entity.toField("columnValues", mapType) [
	setInitializer [
		append('''new HashMap<«entity.name»,String>()''')
	]
]

That gives me:

 private Map<?,?> columnValues = new HashMap<Customer,String>();

But I would like to have:

 private Map<Customer,String> columnValues = new HashMap<Customer,String>();

And I would like to generate the import statement for the HashMap.

Is this possible ?

Regards
Roger

Hi,

what about

val mapType = entity.newTypeRef(typeof(Map), newTypeRef, entity.newTypeRef(typeof(String)))

setInitializer [
		append('''new java.util.HashMap<«entity.name»,String>()''')
	]

setInitializer [
		imports.add("java.util.HashMap")
		append('''new HashMap<«entity.name»,String>()''')	
	]

The import statement is ignored. At least in the 2.3.1 version I'm using here.

setInitializer [
		imports.add("java.util.HashMap")
		append('''new HashMap<«entity.name»,String>()''')	
]
