JaversException: GENERIC_TYPE_NOT_PARAMETRIZED - how to diagnose?

[gtnarg]

Hi,

I'm receiving the following error:

JaversException: GENERIC_TYPE_NOT_PARAMETRIZED 
expected actual Class argument in type 'java.util.Map<java.lang.String, L[]>'. 
JaVers needs to know actual Class of elements stored in your collections. 
Try at least <Object>. Wildcards (e.g. <?>), unbounded type parameters (e.g. <T>) and raw types (e.g. List) are not supported.

Is it possible to figure out where in the object graph this is occurring? What type does the following denote?

java.util.Map<java.lang.String, L[]>

Thanks

Figured it out by breakpointing the line raising the exception and looking backward through the callstack.

It might be helpful to have some trace logging available in this part of the code base to provide some context if an error like this occurs...

Should excluding this property (or it's parent) when initializing Javers get around this error?

[gtnarg]

Was able to get this working using the following:

builder.registerIgnoredClass( PropertyChangeSupport.class );

When I tried to ignore this property in my base Entity class using builder#registerEntity, the subclasses still included the property (i.e. I needed to add the ignore to each subclass). I would think that ignoring a property in the base class should apply to all subclasses?

In addition, ignoring the property, did not prevent the error for which this issue was created.
Shouldn't ignoring the property stop it from traversing this property in the first place?

fixed in release 1.6.4
