TypeLiteral injection with reflection

Question

Context : java using guice (last version)

Hi everybody, is it possible to inject some TypeLiteral with Guice by this way :

Answer 1

In fact, I think it isn't possible. Generics are not reified at run-time. This means the information is not present at run-time. So it doesn't care what generic type you give it.

So, I think this method is not needed. Simply something like this:

public MyClass getMyClass(Injector injector, Class a, Class b)
{
     return new MyClass();
     // Or maybe something like this, if you use custom constructors
     // return injector.getInstance();
}

Since MyClass is an interface, what you want to achieve is totally useless and impossible. How do you want to instantiate an object with a specific behavior when you only specify the param type and return type.
I think you should try to find a different way of working.
