Roaster Complex TypeVariable support

[sbordes]

Hi,

With Roaster is it possible to add complex TypeVariable like this one interface Action<A extends Action<A>>

I'm building an Ecore to FXJO library with fluent API and it requires to chain complex TypeVariable.

Thanks!

I believe that should be doable. Have you tried using

setSuperType("Action in

There isn't any super type.

I have An INterface Action implemented by an Abstracr class AbstractAction specialized by several concrete classes.

To respect fluent api AbstractAction method shall return the Concrete class type passed as TypeVariable.

public interface Action<A extends Action<A>> {

}

public abstract class AbstractAction<A extends Action<A>> implements Action<A>{

    private String name;

    public String name() {

        return this.name;

    }

    public A name(final String name) {

        this.name = name;

          return (A) this;   

     }

}

public class MyAction extends AbstractAction<MyAction> {

    private Object value;

    public Object value() {

        return this.value;

    }

     public MyAction setValue(final Object value) {

        this.value = value;

        return this;

    }

With this sample I can just replace 'A extends Action<A>' by 'A' everywhere but I lose some compile type checking and for more complex samples it will be required (to generate intermediate AbstractClass with right typeVariable.

Just accepting a complete String to addTypeVariable will be sufficient to hack this trouble

Thanks

Can you open a ticket in our ROASTER - JBoss Issue Tracker with steps to reproduce (a test case would be great).

Thanks!
