how do i create a method that returns the same object as passed in

[deno.vichas]

i've just started working with hibernate and i want to create a generic
method that will take a class and id and pass back an object of the
type class i've passed to it. here' what i've got so far. i now it's
not correct but i'm not sure how to fix it. could somebody help me
with this along with pointing me to some docs on how to.

public <T> Class<T> getById(Class<T> mappedClss, long id) {
Session session = getSession();
Class<T> object = (Class<T>) session.get(mappedClss, id);
return object;
}

thanks,
deno

// anemic method that does nothing
// a single point of a compile-time warning perhaps?
public <T> T getById(final Class<T> mappedClss, final long id) {
return (T)getSession().get(mappedClss, id);
}

My Hibernate is little rusty, but if this is not what you want, please
clarify. You do realise that you must concede to the compile-time
warning right?
