Re: [Springframework-developer] TypedMapFactory?

[Rob H. <rob...@in...>]

That's not a bad idea - can you raise an JIRA issue for this? Also, in 
Spring 1.3 we will actually autodetect the element types when using 
generics definitions like you have here so you won't need to specify the 
element types.
