Description

If a bean has a constructor argument which use generics, the injection fails with "org.osgi.service.blueprint.container.ComponentDefinitionException: Unable to find a matching constructor".

Example:
package example;
public interface Example<A> {}

public class ExampleImpl implements Example<String> {}

public class Service {
private Example<String> example;
public Service(Example<String> example)

{ this.example = example; }

}

<bean id="exampleBean" class="example.ExampleImpl"/>

<bean id="serviceBean" class="example.Service">
<argument ref="exampleBean"/>
</bean>

Changing the constructor of Service to "public Service(Example example)" make it work, but it would be better to have it inject correctly with the generics intact.
