Question on java generics

[Raymond Feng <en...@gmail.com>]

Generics gurus,

Assuming I have the following class:

public class Test<T> {
...
}

1) Is there a way to get the Class object for T in class Test? I know T.class is illegal.
2) Can I create the an instance of Test using a Class object myClass. I know new Test<myClass> is not valid.

Thanks,
Raymond

1) No. T is erasable.

2) If myClass is a class or generic type, you should be able to "new
Test<myClass>".
    On the other hand, if myClass is a pointer/variable, no you can't "new
Test<myClass>"
