Get generic type of class at runtime

Question

How can I achieve this?

public class GenericClass
{
    public Type getMyType()
    {
        //How do I return the type of T?
    }
}

Answer 1

To complete some of the answers here, I had to get the ParametrizedType of MyGenericClass, no matter how high is the hierarchy, with the help of recursion:

private Class getGenericTypeClass() {
        return (Class) (getParametrizedType(getClass())).getActualTypeArguments()[0];
}

private static ParameterizedType getParametrizedType(Class clazz){
    if(clazz.getSuperclass().equals(MyGenericClass.class)){ // check that we are at the top of the hierarchy
        return (ParameterizedType) clazz.getGenericSuperclass();
    } else {
        return getParametrizedType(clazz.getSuperclass());
    }
}
