Description

Hi.

When using APPContentManager to communicate with my repository, I would like to use the APPObject derived API's, in order to access underlying APP specific information (Link's, etc). The problem is that I end up writing a lot of code containing ugly object cast's like this:

APPContentManager contentManager = new APPContentManager("");
APPRepository repository = (APPRepository)contentManager.getDefaultRepository();
APPConnection connection = (APPConnection)repository.getConnection(null);
APPFolder aFolder = (APPFolder)connection.getFolder("");

When I would rather have the ability to write typesafe code like this:

APPContentManager contentManager = new APPContentManager("");
APPRepository repository = contentManager.getDefaultAPPRepository();
APPConnection connection = repository.getAPPConnection(null);
APPFolder aFolder = connection.getAPPFolder("");
