Greg Brown resolved PIVOT-324.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Assignee: Greg Brown
We have tried this in the past, and unfortunately, it doesn't work. :-)
WTKXSerializer implements Dictionary<String, Object>, which requires the get()
signature to return an Object, not a T.
> WTKXSerializer get method enhancement
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIVOT-324
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-324
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wtk-wtkx
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Dmitry Mamonov
> Assignee: Greg Brown
>
> Method get() of class WTKXSerializer returns value of type Object, you see:
> http://incubator.apache.org/pivot/1.3/docs/api/org/apache/pivot/wtkx/WTKXSerializer.html#get(java.lang.String)
> As demostrated in documentation it cause code like this:
> (http://incubator.apache.org/pivot/1.3/tutorials/push_buttons.html)
> private PushButton pushButton = null;
> ...
> pushButton = (PushButton)wtkxSerializer.get("pushButton");
> In an alternative way, get() method may be declared as:
> <T> T get(String key){
> //implementation
> }
> This way client code will be just:
> pushButton = wtkxSerializer.get("pushButton");
> so the type-case will be implicit. This feature is widely used in HtmlUnit
> framework and I find it quite neat.
> May be it coult be adopted to pivot project :)
