我怎样才能做到这一点呢?

public class GenericClass<T>
{
    public Type getMyType()
    {
        //How do I return the type of T?
    }
}

到目前为止,我所尝试的一切总是返回Object类型,而不是使用的特定类型。


当前回答

当然,你可以。

出于向后兼容性的考虑,Java在运行时不使用这些信息。但是信息实际上是以元数据的形式呈现的,并且可以通过反射访问(但是它仍然不用于类型检查)。

来自官方API:

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/ParameterizedType.html#getActualTypeArguments%28%29

但是,对于您的场景,我不会使用反射。我个人更倾向于将其用于框架代码。在你的例子中,我只是将类型作为构造函数参数添加。

我见过类似的东西

private Class<T> persistentClass;

public Constructor() {
    this.persistentClass = (Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType) getClass()
                            .getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0];
 }

GenericDataAccessObjects实例

Java泛型大多是在编译时,这意味着类型信息在运行时丢失。

class GenericCls<T>
{
    T t;
}

会被编译成什么样子

class GenericCls
{
   Object o;
}

要在运行时获得类型信息,必须将其作为ctor的参数添加。

class GenericCls<T>
{
     private Class<T> type;
     public GenericCls(Class<T> cls)
     {
        type= cls;
     }
     Class<T> getType(){return type;}
}

例子:

GenericCls<?> instance = new GenericCls<String>(String.class);
assert instance.getType() == String.class;

使用返回类类型的抽象方法,然后在该类中使用它,无论在何处扩展泛型类,都必须实现该抽象方法以返回所需的类类型

public class AbsractService<T>{
  public abstract Class<T> getClassType ();
   .......
}

在运行时

class AnimalService extends AbstractService<Animal>{

@Override  
public Class<Animal> getClassType (){
        return Animal.class;
 }

  .....
}

这里有一个方法,我用过一两次:

public abstract class GenericClass<T>{
    public abstract Class<T> getMyType();
}

随着

public class SpecificClass extends GenericClass<String>{

    @Override
    public Class<String> getMyType(){
        return String.class;
    }
}

Ian Robertson在这篇文章中描述的技巧对我很有用。

简单粗暴的例子:

    /**
     * Method returns class implementing EntityInterface which was used in class
     * extending AbstractDAO
     *
     * @return Class<T extends EntityInterface>
     */
    public Class<T> returnedClass()
    {
        return (Class<T>) getTypeArguments(AbstractDAO.class, getClass()).get(0);
    }

    /**
     * Get the underlying class for a type, or null if the type is a variable
     * type.
     *
     * @param type the type
     * @return the underlying class
     */
    public static Class<?> getClass(Type type)
    {
        if (type instanceof Class) {
            return (Class) type;
        } else if (type instanceof ParameterizedType) {
            return getClass(((ParameterizedType) type).getRawType());
        } else if (type instanceof GenericArrayType) {
            Type componentType = ((GenericArrayType) type).getGenericComponentType();
            Class<?> componentClass = getClass(componentType);
            if (componentClass != null) {
                return Array.newInstance(componentClass, 0).getClass();
            } else {
                return null;
            }
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

        // finally, for each actual type argument provided to baseClass, determine (if possible)
        // the raw class for that type argument.
        Type[] actualTypeArguments;

        } else {
