AnyHandler, AnyService, AnyInterface

We want to implement some generic frameworks and for this it is necessary to pass multiple RUIHandler and Service parts to a common set of functions. Currently there is no 'AnyHandler' or 'AnyService' type in the EGL language, which means that the parts must be passed as an 'Any' type. To invoke the necessary operations on these parts from within the function, the application must then cast the parts to a specific type of RUIHandler or Service, which requires large 'IF' blocks of code that check for 'is a'. So we like to know if the AnyHandler and AnyService types can be added to the language.

    IBM Business Developer is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time.

    This RFE is more than a decade old. It might not be relevant now. Please create a new RFE if this requirement still exists.

    We agree that this is a common use-case. We will consider a solution for this in our planning for future releases.
