Re: [jaspic-dev] Add missing generics to API

Hi,

They are binary compatible, but not TCK signature compatible. But, since the TCK signatuur has to be adjusted anyway, at least the adjusting part should not be a problem.

Since Jakarta _expression_ is doing this too, I figured Authentication could as well, although it’s not a super high priority for Authentication in Jakarta EE 9.

Let’s see what the platform team has to say.

Kind regards,
Arjan

Hi,

Jakarta Authentication is currently missing generics in its API. In the Jakarta _expression_ project we've added generics for the Jakarta EE 9 release, as this is a binary compatible change.
Binary compatible is not the same as TCK signature compatible.  Would the EL changes pass the signature test, without the javax -> jakarta change?
I think we should do the same for Jakarta Authentication. See issue: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/authentication/issues/87
If we want to allow any binary compatible signature change, that seems like a decision for the Platform project team.
