Passing the Class in java of a generic list?

Question

I have a method for reading JSON from a service, I\'m using Gson to do my serialization and have written the following method using type parameters.

public T         


        

Answer 1

As a follow up to this, I found this in the Gson docs.

Type listType = new TypeToken>() {}.getType();

Which solves the problem of getting the type safely but the TypeToken class is specific to Gson.
