Question

My GenericDao has:

 public T get(K id);

Now my GenericDaoImpl has:

public T get(K id) {
    return super.getHibernateTemplate().get(???, id);
  }

I tried:

get(T.class, id);

But I get a compile time error:

cannot select from a type variable

Is it possible to do this correctly somehow?

Answer 1

Due to type erasure, that is not possible.
You need to take a Class instance as a parameter.
