alter return types in org.apache.pluto.container.om.portlet.Filter?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PLUTO-589
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-589
Project: Pluto
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: portlet container
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Nicholas Blair
The return type for the getInitParams() method in
org.apache.pluto.container.om.portlet.Filter is List<? extends InitParam>.
This presents an awkward scenario, one particularly present when creating unit
tests for a FilterChain implementation and attempting to create mock Filter
implementations.
The requirement that getInitParams return a class that implements an interface
_that extends_ InitParam. You cannot simply return a class that implements
InitParam; you would need to define your own custom interface that extends
InitParam, and implement your custom interface.
If the InitParam interface satisfactorily defines what's needed, the
getInitParams return should be a class that simply implements InitParam.
Is it possible to modify the return value for getInitParams to simply?
List<InitParam>
This also applies to the getDescriptions and getDisplayNames method in the same
class; both have return values of List<? extends someinterface>, it should
simply be List<interface>.
