问题
I'm reasonably confident in my first generics container, but stuck on how to word the casting on the client side. This is what was working before I got involved in learning <T> stuff:
CommonNounContainer typeContainer = new Json().fromJson(CommonNounContainer.class, result);
I was looking at having to create a different container for each class, and that doesn't seem like good design. Below is my updated, non-working attempt to read in my new generics container:
JSONContainer<CommonNoun> typeContainer = new Json().fromJson(JSONContainer.class, result);
My IDE doesn't care for this phrasing, noting:
Type safety: The expression of type JSONContainer needs unchecked conversion to conform to JSONContainer
When executed, my err log reads:
result = {"myObject":{"cid":{"oid":129},"name":"technology","form":1},"children":[]}
com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SerializationException: Field not found: cid (java.lang.Object)

I'm sure there's some way I'm supposed to include a reference to the CommonNoun type to the right of the equals sign, but I haven't been able to figure it out. How do I do it? There's lots of applicable posts concerning generics, casting, JSON, and stripping away of class information. One of them I tried to follow that wasn't about the casting above regarded adding the T class as a private variable within the container during construction:
How do I get a class instance of generic type T?
but I ran into similar syntax issues trying to refer to the class correctly, just in a different spot along the process. I have my doubts, too, that I can read this class variable from the JSON file before telling JSON how to classify the information in the file.
Javadoc for the fromJson(Class<T>, String) method:
Type Parameters:
<T>
Parameters:
type May be null if the type is unknown.
json
Returns:
May be null.
I may already have a viable answer submitted by deduper, but, as requested, here are the CommonNounContainer and JSONContainer classes:
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class CommonNounContainer {
private CommonNoun myCommonNoun;
private ArrayList<CommonNounContainer> children;
public CommonNounContainer(CommonNoun concept) {
myCommonNoun = concept;
children = new ArrayList<CommonNounContainer>();
}
//Creates an empty shell. This would be for categories you want to group by, but not display/select in the select box.
public CommonNounContainer() {
children = new ArrayList<CommonNounContainer>();
}
public void addChildren(ArrayList<CommonNounContainer> newChildren) {
children.addAll(newChildren);
}
public void addChild(CommonNoun concept) {
children.add(new CommonNounContainer(concept));
}
public ArrayList<CommonNounContainer> getChildren() {
return children;
}
public CommonNoun getValue() {
return myCommonNoun;
}
public boolean hasChildren() {
if (children.size() > 0) return true;
else return false;
}
public String toString() {
return myCommonNoun.toString();
}
}
public class JSONContainer<T> {
private T myObject;
private ArrayList<JSONContainer<T>> children;
// public Class<T> typeParameterClass;
public JSONContainer() {
}
public JSONContainer(T anObject) {
myObject = anObject;
children = new ArrayList<JSONContainer<T>>();
}
/* public JSONContainer(T anObject, Class<T> typeParameterClass) {
myObject = anObject;
children = new ArrayList<JSONContainer<T>>();
this.typeParameterClass = typeParameterClass;
}
*/
public void addChildren(ArrayList<JSONContainer<T>> newChildren) {
children.addAll(newChildren);
}
public void addChild(T concept) {
children.add(new JSONContainer<T>(concept));
}
public ArrayList<JSONContainer<T>> getChildren() {
return children;
}
public T getValue() {
return myObject;
}
public boolean hasChildren() {
if (children.size() > 0) return true;
else return false;
}
public String toString() {
return myObject.toString();
}
}

TL;DR:
Proposed Fix…
System.out.println( new Json( ).toJson( new JSONContainer<>( ... ) )to see the correct string format of aJSONContainer'sJSON.- Make sure your
resultinput argument toJson.fromJson(Class<T>, String)is in the same format printed out in1.- e.g.
{myObject:{class:CommonNoun,cid:{oid:139},name:Jada Pinkett Smith,form:69},children:[{myObject:{class:CommonNoun,cid:{oid:666},name:Jaden Pinkett Smith,form:-666},children:[]},{myObject:{class:CommonNoun,cid:{oid:69},name:Willow Pinkett Smith,form:69},children:[]}]}
- e.g.
The long answer…
„My IDE doesn't care for this phrasing, noting:“
Type safety: The expression of type JSONContainer needs unchecked conversion to conform to JSONContainer
It's the compiler warning you about heap pollution. The IDE merely translated this compiler warning (which is what you'd see on the command line)…
...Communicator.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
...Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
…into the more user-friendly message the IDE showed you.
It is only a warning; not an error. To make that warning go away, change this: JSONContainer<CommonNoun> typeContainer = ... to this: JSONContainer typeContainer = ...
„When executed, my err log reads:“
result = {"myObject":{"cid":{"oid":129},"name":"technology","form":1},"children":[]} com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SerializationException: Field not found: cid (java.lang.Object)...
The most likely cause of that error is — like the error message says — either your JSONContainer class or your CommonNoun class does not have the cid field that is present in the JSON string you're trying to deserialize.
I was able to reproduce that error with this…
...
private static final String JADEN_AS_JSON = "{jden:{class:CommonNoun,person:Jaden,place:Hollywood,thing:HashBeen}}";
private static final String JADEN_FAILS_AS_ACTOR = "{jden:{class:CommonNoun,person:Jaden,place:Hollywood,thing:HasBeen, cid:{oid:129} }}";
static public void main( String ... args ){
out.printf( "%1$22s%n", "foo");
JSONContainer< CommonNoun > wtf = new JSONContainer< > ( );
CommonNoun wtBrattyF = new CommonNoun( "Jaden Pinkett Smith", "Hollywood", "HasBeen" );
wtf.setJden( wtBrattyF );
out.printf( "%1$42s%n", wtf );
Json jden = new Json();
out.printf("%1$59s%n", jden.toJson( wtf ) );
JSONContainer wtReifiableF = jden.fromJson(JSONContainer.class, JADEN_AS_JSON); /* This is fine */
out.printf("%1$59s%n", jden.toJson( wtReifiableF ) );
JSONContainer/*< CommonNoun >*/ wtUnReifiableF = jden.fromJson( JSONContainer.class, JADEN_AS_JSON );
wtUnReifiableF = jden.fromJson( JSONContainer.class, JADEN_FAILS_AS_ACTOR ); /* This causes the error you reported */
}
...
Early on it succeeds; but later on it fails…
JSONContainer [ jden: CommonNoun [ person: Jaden Pinkett Smith, place: Hollywood, thing: HasBeen ] ]
{jden:{class:CommonNoun,person:Jaden Pinkett Smith,place:Hollywood,thing:HasBeen}}
{jden:{class:CommonNoun,person:Jaden,place:Hollywood,thing:HashBeen}}
Exception in thread "main" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SerializationException: Field not found: cid (CommonNoun)

at DeduperAnswer.main(DeduperAnswer.java:33)
I have now confirmed by experimentation that given the existence of a Cid class…
public class Cid {
int oid;
/* ... getter and setter elided ... */
}
… And given the existence of a CommonNoun class that HAS A Cid…
public class CommonNoun {
Cid cid;
String name;
int form;
/* ... getters and setters elided ... */
}
…Then trying to deserialize a JSONContainer from a result that has the following value, will produce the exact same error you originally reported…
result = {"myObject":{"cid":{"oid":129},"name":"technology","form":1},"children":[]}
If your actual CommonNoun class is implemented like my stand-in above (with a Cid field), then you need to retry your json.fromJson(Class<?>, String) call with your result string formatted like…
{myObject:{class:CommonNoun,cid:{oid:139},name:Jada Pinkett Smith,form:69},children:[{myObject:{class:CommonNoun,cid:{oid:666},name:Jaden Pinkett Smith,form:-666},children:[]},{myObject:{class:CommonNoun,cid:{oid:69},name:Willow Pinkett Smith,form:69},children:[]}]}
