#3551 Log warning for use of mapping column to Class#3698
Merged
Conversation
I think it was a mistake for Ebean to support Class<?> from a security perspective. Instead, Ebean should just use a String <-> Varchar and leave if up to the application to take that String and convert it to a class [and then that potential Class initialisation is owned by the application code and all security considerations around that are owned by the application code].
