I've managed to solve the issue without affecting org.apache.tapestry5.ioc. services.PropertyAdapter.
So the introduced methods are: Type Binding.getBindingGenericType() Type PropertyConduit getPropertyGenericType() Type ComponentResources.getBoundGenericType(String parameterName) I don't think anyone will be implementing their own ComponentResources or PropertyConduit so I think those changes are fin. Ashas been mentioned, third parties (including myself) have implemented custom bindings. If it's any consolation, I've implemented AbstractBinding.getBindingGenericType() to simply return getBindingType(). The other solution I can see is to have Binding2 in a similar style to Asset2 etc. On 16 May 2014 00:48, Howard Lewis Ship <hls...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd need to know a bit more; this will tend to break 3rd party libraries > that compile against the old code, which is not so good.
