Generics of IDataProvider

[Jan Kriesten]

hi,
i stumbled over the generification of the IDataProvider, which IMHO doesn't make 
sense as it is now:

public interface IDataProvider<T>
  extends IDetachable
{
  java.util.Iterator<T> iterator(int first, int count);
  IModel<T> model(java.lang.Object object);
  int size();
}

this would mean, that the Iterator + the IModel would contain the same type 
information, making it impossible to use an Iterator over Integers and lookup 
those Integer-ids within model to return a User e.g.

best regards, --- jan.
