--------------------------
Summary: Generics warnings for StringEncoderComparator
Key: CODEC-141
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-141
Project: Commons Codec
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
Attachments: CODEC-141.patch
The StringEncoderComparator class currently extends the raw type Comparator.
I think it should extend Comparator<Object>, as it implements compare(Object,
Object).
Although it is documented as being a String comparator, some StringEncoder
implementations also support other types such as byte[].
Secondly, its compare() method currently casts the stringEncoder.encode()
results to Comparable.
This might as well be String, as that is what a StringEncoder is supposed to do.
If a class cast exception occurs, then this is a bug in the provided
StringEncoder (and casting to Comparable would likely also fail).
