Description

The following code fails when trying to retrieve data with the simple fronted

public class ComplexMapResult extends
HashMap<String, Map<Integer, Integer>> {
}

// fail returns null map value
public ComplexMapResult testComplexMapResult();

How it fails. On retrieve when I try to print the resulting matrix I get
INFO: client.TestClient.testComplexMapResult(TestClient.java:35):

{key1=[#document: null]}

where I should get a valid map for the key "key1"

The following code succeeds

// success
public Map<String, Map<Integer, Integer>> testDirectComplexMapResult();

So my guess is Aegis doesn't handle the inheritance very well.

Further more the following code succeeds

// success
public class SimpleMapResult extends HashMap<String, Integer> {
}

// success
public SimpleMapResult testSimpleMapResult();

so that means it handles the extension when there is no nesting

I will try to attach the eclipse project for this (~7k)
