Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Adding generics to API for Jakarta EE 9?
|
I thought we had
discussed the introduction of generics into the signatures as an "okay"
small change. I looked through our notes and can't find a record
of this, so we must have just discussed it verbally.Since the addition
of missing generics in the signature would be a binary compatible change,
why wouldn't or couldn't we allow this? As Arjan points out, the
javax->jakarta change already makes it source incompatible, so we're
not introducing anything that would require additional work. And,
the use of generics is a good thing that helps with strong type checking.
Is there a technical reason why we couldn't allow this type of change
in Jakarta EE 9 without requiring separate release plans?

Subject: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Adding generics to API for Jakarta
EE 9? Hi,I was thinking to add missing generics
to the Jakarta Authentication API for Jakarta EE 9. This is a binary compatible
change. Jakarta _expression_ has done this too. Obviously the TCK signature
file needs to be adjusted for this, but it has to be adjusted anyway for
the javax -> jakarta change.Thoughts?Kind regards,Arjan Tijms _______________________________________________
