Question

I am getting back into java after a few yrs with .NET and I am confused about the following syntax.
What exactly is this method expected to return in plain english?
I thought it might be a List instance composed of CategoryProxy objects. But this is not correct.
Can anyone explain what exactly it returns?

@Override
public Request<List<CategoryProxy>> queryCategorys() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

Answer 1

It returns a Request<List<CategoryProxy>>. In other words, it returns a Request<T> where T is parameterised as List<CategoryProxy>. I can’t tell you any more than that without knowing more about what a Request<T> or a CategoryProxy is.
