Generic method optimization

[Gunnar Wagenknecht]

Hi!

I have the following method which I want to optimize. I'm experimenting
with generics and the question I have is, can I avoid the additional
parameter Class<T>?


private <T extends ImportableObject> void
mergeImportWithDatabase(Database database, Map<String, T>
importedObject, Class<T> objectType) {

...
database.getAllObject(objectType)
...

}


I tried to replace "objectType" with "T.class" but that gave me a
compiler error ("illegal class literal"). That's why I added the
argument "Class<T> objectType".

Thanks,
Gunnar

No, you cannot.
