[Springframework-rcp-dev] [Spring-JIRA] Closed: (RCP-202) Binding to a superclass should be possible

[Jan H. (JIRA) <no...@sp...>]

     [ http://jira.springframework.org/browse/RCP-202?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jan Hoskens closed RCP-202.
---------------------------

         Assignee: Jan Hoskens  (was: Oliver Hutchison)
       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s: 1.0.0

The convertor is actually a part of the spring-binding library not of Spring Richclient. If the issue is still surfacing while using the latest version of that library, create an issue in the jira of spring-webflow which contains the spring-binding lib.
