Add getType() to TypeSafeMatcher #65

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In most cases, TypeSafeMatcher can just do it's thing and match only the 
specific type.

However, we have a service that has already indexed 10,000's of objects by 
type, and so we would like:

  TypeSafeMatcher matcher;
  Collection objectsOfClass = service.getObjects(matcher.getType());
  List myObjects = select(objectsOfClass, matcher);

This seems like quite an obscure use for us to change the API.

My suggestions are either to write your own subclass of TypeSafeMatcher, or 
wrap this bit of code in a helper 
method to implement passing the type to the service and creating a typed 
matcher.
