EVALUATION This is precisely the same issue as 5056707 but for a different API element There is a conflict between the generification of javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext and Properties. I recommend either using wildcards, if the Hashtable contains only input parameter data to the constructor, or modifying the generification of Properties to Hashtable<String,String>. ###@###.### 2004-06-09 The best fix for this bug would be to revise java.util.Properties to extend Hashtable<String,String>, as suggested, but doing that in a binary-compatible way first requires that 5064052 (unnecessary bridge methods interfere with some generics retrofitting) be fixed. -- ###@###.### 2004/6/16 Unfortunately it proved impossible to revise java.util.Properties to extend Hashtable<String,String> since that would have introduced a subtle binary incompatibility. The relevant APIs have instead been revised to accept arguments of type Hashtable<?,?> rather than their current, more-specific types. -- ###@###.### 2004/7/16
