I am not sure if this is a duplicate question to this one mainly because I'm a bit new to generics, so please be forgiving.
I have a generic class:
public class MyGeneric<T extends Collection>
{
private Class<T> genericType;
public MyGeneric()
{
// Missing code here
}
}
My question is this: how do I initialize the genericType
attribute? Basically, I need genericType
to receive the Class
object of whatever T
is. If T
is a LinkedList
, I would like genericType
to be equal to LinkedList.class
.
Is this at all possible? Nothing I try seems to work.
Thanks, Isaac
