Java using generics with lists and interfaces

Question

Ok, so here is my problem:

I have a list containing interfaces - List a - and a list of interfaces that extend that interface: Li

Answer 1

So, the rather simple solution a friend of mine found was this:

recordKeeper.myList = (List)(List)records;

This works as I understand it because it takes baby steps. List is a List, and List is a List. It might not be pretty, but it works nonetheless.
