Build Identifier: trunk (2.2.0)

Please consider making DynamicType more type-safe, in particular the method "getJavaType":

public Class<? extends DynamicEntity> getJavaClass();
vs.
public Class<?> getJavaClass();


This would allow code like this:
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManagerFactory.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<DynamicEntity> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(DynamicEntity.class);
Root<? extends DynamicEntity> personR = criteriaQuery.from(helper.getType("Person").getJavaClass());
criteriaQuery.select(personR);
TypedQuery<DynamicEntity> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);

instead of this:
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManagerFactory.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<DynamicEntity> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(DynamicEntity.class);
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Root<DynamicEntity> personR = (Root<DynamicEntity>) criteriaQuery.from(helper.getType("Person").getJavaClass());
criteriaQuery.select(personR);
TypedQuery<DynamicEntity> query = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);


Please close this feature request if I am mistaken on the nature of DynamicType/DynamicEntity.

Reproducible: Always
