How to get the class of type variable in Java Generics

Question

I\'ve seen similar questions but they didnt help very much.

For instance I\'ve got this Generic Class:

public class ContainerTest
{

    public          


        

Answer 1

The only way is to store the class in an instance variable and require it as an argument of the constructor:

public class ContainerTest
{
    private Class tClass;
    public ContainerTest(Class tClass) {
        this.tCLass = tClass;
    }

    public void doSomething()
    {
        //access tClass here
    }
}
