svn commit: r662589 - /ofbiz/trunk/framework/base/src/base/org/ofbiz/base/util/UtilGenerics.java

New Revision: 662589

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=662589&view=rev
Log:
Small enhancement to the UtilGenerics class. Added two helper methods to make it easier to write type-safe code.

Now you can do things like

Map<String, Object> params = UtilGenerics.toMap(context.get("parameters"));

without causing compiler errors or throwing ClassCast exceptions.
