Creating a Generic Class

Essential Java

Generics enable classes, interfaces, and methods to take other classes and interfaces as type parameters. This example uses generic class Param to take a single type parameter T , delimited by angle b...

Obtain class that satisfies generic parameter at runtime

Essential Java

Many unbound generic parameters, like those used in a static method, cannot be recovered at runtime (see Other Threads on Erasure ). However there is a common strategy employed for accessing the type ...

Atomic Types

Essential Java

Introduction Java Atomic Types are simple mutable types that provide basic operations that are thread-safe and atomic without resorting to locking. They are intended for use in cases where locking wou...

Java Options

Essential Java

The java command supports a wide range of options: All options start with a single hyphen or minus-sign ( \- ): the GNU/Linux convention of using -- for “long” options is not supported. Options must a...

Too many parameters in Java might indicate subtle duplication

Level Up Coding

Java has enough of a reputation for being verbose without programmers writing constructors that take nine or ten parameters. Technically, a constructor or other unit can take more than two hundred…

Type Erasure

Learn Java

Erasure of Generic Types Generics were introduced to the Java language to provide tighter type checks at compile time and to support generic programming. To implement generics, the Java compiler appl...
