To recap in brief: being able to do:
Frob frob = someNamingContext.lookup("frob", Frob.class);
would be very convenient, e.g. via something like:
// Proposed new default method in javax.naming.Context
default <T> T lookup(Name name, Class<T> type) {
return type.cast(lookup(name)); // just delegate to the existing
lookup() method
}
Should I simply file an RFE in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/ or should I
first further discuss the idea here?
The contribution guide (https://openjdk.java.net/contribute/) seemed to
suggest starting with a discussion on the list when an RFE doesn't already
exist, but to be honest there's not much more to the idea than this at the
moment.
Yes, it's best to start a discussion here. We can create a JBS issues as
needed.
I think you are asking for an overload that specifies a class literal as
a type token to avoid an explicit cast at the use-sites. Is this to
improve usages within Helidon or are there enterprise libs that expose
JNDI Context objects that would be used by a wider set of users?
