Class RawType<T>

java.lang.Object

org.jboss.weld.util.reflection.RawType<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

All Implemented Interfaces:

Type

public class RawType<T>
extends Object
implements Type

There are two possible scenarios in which we operate on a raw type (java class) in HierarchyDiscovery:

Firstly, we are discovering hierarchy of a class bean with type parameters. In this scenario, we need to resolve the ParameterizedType of the class instead of the raw type returned by the classloader. This is resolved by HierarchyDiscovery.

Secondly, we are working with a type of a java field, parameter or a method return type. If a generic class is declared as a raw type, we want to preserve the fact that the type was raw because assignability rules in the CDI specification (5.2.3, 8.3.1 and 10.2.1) recognize a raw type as a special case. Therefore, we do not want HierarchyDiscovery to resolve the type.

This class is used as a wrapper that marks a raw type for the HierarchyDiscovery not to resolve the type (the second scenario - see above).
