java 方法参数泛型,Java中没有泛型参数的泛型方法

In C# I can do actually this:

//This is C#

static T SomeMethod() where T:new()

{

Console.WriteLine("Typeof T: "+typeof(T));

return new T();

}

//And call the method here

SomeMethod();

But for some reason I can't get it to work in Java.

The thing I want to do is, to create a static method on a superclass, so the subclasses can be converted to XML.

//This is Java, but doesn't work

public static T fromXml(String xml) {

try {

JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(T.class);

Unmarshaller um = context.createUnmarshaller();

return (T)um.unmarshal(new StringReader(xml));

} catch (JAXBException je) {

throw new RuntimeException("Error interpreting XML response", je);

}

}

//Also the call doesn't work...

fromXml("");

解决方案

public static T fromXml(Class clazz, String xml) {

Called as:

Thing thing = fromXml(Thing.class, xml);

or more explicitly:

Thing thing = MyClass.fromXml(Thing.class, xml);

To be even more confusing you can have constructors that both construct a generic type and have a generic parameter themselves. Can't remember the syntax and have never seen it used in anger (you are probably better off with a static creation method anyway).

The cast (T) is unsafe, and you can't write T.class. So include the T.class as an argument (as JAXBContext.newInstance does) and throw a relevant exception if the type is wrong.

public static T fromXml(Class clazz, String xml) {

try {

JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(clazz);

Unmarshaller um = context.createUnmarshaller();

Object obj = um.unmarshal(new StringReader(xml));

try {

return clazz.cast(obj);

} catch (ClassCastException exc) {

throw new RelevantException(

"Expected class "+clazz+

" but was "+obj.getClass()

);

}

} catch (JAXBException exc) {

throw new RelevantException(

"Error unmarshalling XML response",

exc

);

}

}

I believe the next version of JAXB (in 6u14?) has some convenience methods for this sort of thing in the JAXB class.
