Description
Name: jl125535 Date: 08/25/2004 A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST : The title says it all. It ruins the type safety of it. Strangely, getConstructor() does return Constructor<T>. JUSTIFICATION : Much code cannot run with it like this and I can think of no reason why the API should be phrased this way. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - Return Constructor<T>[], not Constructor[]. CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND : I have patched the source to java/lang/Class.java, it compiles and seems to test out OK. Unfortunately, code developed with the patched RT cannot be run on client's machines since they want to use virgin RTs.
