Question

I have my generic interface:

public interface myGenericInterface<T> {...}

And I have a class retrieved this way:

Class<?> myClass = Class.forName("myClassName");

I would like to be able to instantiate something like this:

myGenericInterface<myClass> mySubType ...

It’s not working of course. Is there a way of doing something like that?

UPDATE:

Well, since generics is relevant to compile-time I guess it won’t work with reflection style code. So no good can come out of that.

Answer 1

Generics are a compile-time feature that helps to avoid programming errors, so what you are trying to do makes no sense, sorry.
