Ken Cavanaugh - The Gmbal project

org.glassfish.gmbal.typelib
Evaluated generic types (replaces type variables with types) so that
Gmbal can easily use type information to generate open types
Example:
@ManagedData
public interface Bar {
@ManagedAttribute
String getName() ;
}
@ManagedAttribute
String getAddress() ;
@ManagedData
public interface Foo {
@ManagedAttribute
List getElems() ;
}
@ManagedObject
public interface Baz {
@ManagedAttribute
Foo getFoo()
}
Foo is annotated as @ManagedData
Needs to be OpenData
But we can’t tell what type T is in Foo
Baz has an instance of Foo with T
instantiated to Bar
Note that Foo also has an instance of the
standard List, with is declared with its own
type variable T (see java.util.List)
Typelib replaces all type variables with the
values to which they are bound
It is a bit tricky due to the need to handle
complex recursive references to types
