Binding a Parameterized Type

[Mike Dorsey]

Let's say I have a complex form widget which implements
HasValue<List<String>>.

Is it possible to create a FieldModel<List<String>> where the
parameterized type List<String> is bound to my BeanModelProvider?

I can't figure out how to do this since I must pass the .class type to
the fieldOfType function in my FormModel. For example:

// This works great...
FieldModel<String> fieldModel1;
this.fieldModel1 = fieldOfType(String.class).boundTo(myBeanProvider,
"fieldModel1");

// But what do I put in fieldOfType here?
FieldModel<List<String>> fieldModel2;
this.fieldModel2 = fieldOfType(???).boundTo(myBeanProvider,
"fieldModel2");

Hi Mike,

This is something pectin doesn't have at this point and that would
likely need something like Guice's TypeLiteral.

However, in the specific case you mentioned could you use a ListModel
instead?

i.e. listOfType(String.class).boundTo(myBeanProvider,
"propertyThatsAList");

You can still bind this to a HasValue<Collection<String>>.

Cheers

Thanks a lot.  I forgot about the ListModel.  That worked perfectly.
