Cast via reflection and use of Class.cast() [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can avoid a warning e.g. with the following code:

public  T getObject(Class type){
  Object o = getSomeObject();
  if (type.isInstance(o)){
     return type.cast(o);
  } else {
     return null;
  }
}

while the following code will raise a warning:

public  T getObject(){
  return (T) getSomeObject();
}
