GenericConversionService: unable to autowire list types [SPR-6196] #10864
Description
Oliver Becker opened SPR-6196 and commented
Consider the following example:
class Foo {
@Autowired
private List<Bar> myBars;
// ...
}
In case the GenericConversionService has been deployed into the application context the property myBars cannot be converted because the conversion service resolves the ObjectToCollectionGenericConverter instead of the CollectionToCollectionGenericConverter.
This happens because of the super class resolving in method getConverter(Map<Class, GenericConverter>, Class) which fails to properly consider the List interface.
In case of an array type the conversion works without problems.
