Is there a possibility to figure out the generic types (key / value) of my Map parameter via Reflection?
Given a
Map<Key,Value>, it isn’t possible to figure outKeyandValueat runtime. This is due to type erasure (also, see Wikipedia).It is, however, possible to examine each object (key or value) contained in the map, and call their
getClass()method. This will tell you the runtime type of that object. Note that this still won’t tell you anything about the compile-type typesKeyandValue.
