Java - Generics with lists

Question

I wrote a function for my cache to retrieve a specific object. This way I don\'t need to cast it .

@SuppressWarnings(\"unchecked\")
    public static 

        

Answer 1

There is a concept in java called type erasure. Due to legacy reasons, something like List is just a list. It doesn't remember that it is a list of string at run time. You should just write List.class.

You can then specify the type of object in the List when iterating through it.
