Bug 354591

Description Daniel Mising name 2011-08-12 04:46:55 EDT

Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

If you want to reference a class within an association, you are forced to specify a full qualified class name within a string:

in MWE2:
myProperty = "at.myproduct.module.MyClass"
in Java
public void setMyProperty(String clazz) { myProperty = Class.forName(clazz); }

It should be possible to reference class definitions as an own literal

in MWE2
myProperty = at.myproduct.module.MyClass
in Java
public void setMyProperty(Class<?> clazz) { myProperty = clazz; }

Of course the class constraints need to be checked
public void setMyProperty(Class<MyClass> clz) 
public void setMyProperty(Class<? extends MyBaseClass> clz) 
public void setMyProperty(Class<? super MyBaseClass> clz) 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Workflow component which provides a Class<?> property
2. Try to assign a value within a MWE2 workflow
