Add TypeLiterals to retrieve parameterized types #117

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,

I think it would be nice to add the possibility to retrieve parameterized
types (a collection for example) without warning from the compiler.

Currently, you can do the following:

@SuppressWarning("unchecked")
List<String> roles = field("roles").ofType(List.class).in(person).get();

But I think it would be better to do something like this:

List<String> roles = field("roles").ofType(new
TypeLiteral<List<String>>(){}).in(person).get();

I invite you to take a look at guice for details.

What do you think?

Xavier.

Set the module as a label, instead of being part of the title.

Xavier,

I added support for type literals to fields and static fields. I will continue 
to
work on adding support for methods and static methods.
