Re: [aspectj-users] Matching a generic argument vs. type erasure
|
Turn that into a bug/enh request? At the moment I’m trying to tie up some loose ends and get a 1.9.3 done - and help AJDT a little - this thread needs more concentrated brainpower :)
Cheers,
Andy

I also showed him a workaround using the concrete type in 'args()' because then he can utilise runtime information. I also pointed him to the AJ generics manual [2]. I am not a generics expert, but I do see with javap that, as I expected, the method in question actually has an Object parameter in the byte code. Anyway, the OP has a point there, saying that his derived type specifies the concrete type for the generic supertype, but of course he does not override the method from the generic superclass.
