HMPPS domain events have a nullable field (
additionalInformation
) that can contain any old object, it depends on the event type. Right now, we model this field using a highly polymorphic class with nullable fields for every possible use. This prevents us from using strong typing to ensure correct fields are used in the correct places.This PR is an attempt to make the domain event generic over this field.
I'm not totally convinced by this! Generics + Jackson deserialisation do not always play well together… and tests aren't properly stable (see 2 CI runs on identical commit hash).
