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?


I don’t think there is a technical reason and I agree with arjan,  its probably a good time to consider making these changes where needed

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
