我有一个泛型类,Foo<T>。在Foo的一个方法中,我想获取T类型的类实例,但我无法调用T.class。

使用T.class绕过它的首选方法是什么?


当前回答

我根据这个问题中两个最有希望的解决方案之一创建了一个示例。

然而,至少在我的用例中,结果并不那么有希望。

只有一种方法有效,但您需要一个包含方法的超级类,泛型必须在子类中设置,并且不能动态分配(我的用例很遗憾)

        // The class:

            try {
                // Im giving it [0] cuz Bar is the first TypeParam
                Type[] bounds = getClass().getTypeParameters()[0].getBounds();
                // Here, we get the class now:
                barClass = Class.forName(bounds[0].getTypeName());
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                // will never happen!
                throw new Error("Something impossible happened!", e);
            }
        }

        public Class<?> getBarClass() {
            return barClass;
        }
    }
}

我真的不明白为什么这必须如此复杂,但我敢打赌,动态设置参数必须有一些技术限制。

其他回答

实际上,这是可能的(没有外部库!)

以下是我对这个问题的(丑陋但有效的)解决方案:

import java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable;


public static <T> Class<T> getGenericClass() {
    __<T> instance = new __<T>();
    TypeVariable<?>[] parameters = instance.getClass().getTypeParameters(); 

    return (Class<T>)parameters[0].getClass();
}

// Generic helper class which (only) provides type information. This avoids the
//   usage of a local variable of type T, which would have to be initialized.
private final class __<T> {
    private __() { }
}

我一直在寻找一种不向类路径添加额外依赖项的方法。经过一些调查,我发现只要你有一个泛型超类型,这是可能的。这对我来说是可以的,因为我正在使用一个具有通用层超类型的DAO层。如果这符合您的情况,那么这是IMHO最整洁的方法。

我遇到的大多数泛型用例都有某种泛型超类型,例如ArrayList<T>的List<T>或DAO<T>的GenericDAO<T>等。

纯Java解决方案

在Java运行时访问泛型类型一文解释了如何使用纯Java实现这一点。

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public GenericJpaDao() {
  this.entityBeanType = ((Class) ((ParameterizedType) getClass()
      .getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0]);
}

弹簧解决方案

我的项目使用的是Spring,它甚至更好,因为Spring有一个方便的实用方法来查找类型。这是对我来说最好的方法,因为它看起来最整洁。我想如果你不使用Spring,你可以编写自己的实用程序方法。

import org.springframework.core.GenericTypeResolver;

public abstract class AbstractHibernateDao<T extends DomainObject> implements DataAccessObject<T>
{

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    private final Class<T> genericType;

    private final String RECORD_COUNT_HQL;
    private final String FIND_ALL_HQL;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public AbstractHibernateDao()
    {
        this.genericType = (Class<T>) GenericTypeResolver.resolveTypeArgument(getClass(), AbstractHibernateDao.class);
        this.RECORD_COUNT_HQL = "select count(*) from " + this.genericType.getName();
        this.FIND_ALL_HQL = "from " + this.genericType.getName() + " t ";
    }

完整代码示例

有些人在评论中很难让这种方法发挥作用,所以我写了一个小应用程序来展示这两种方法。https://github.com/benthurley82/generic-type-resolver-test

   public <T> T yourMethodSignature(Class<T> type) {

        // get some object and check the type match the given type
        Object result = ...            

        if (type.isAssignableFrom(result.getClass())) {
            return (T)result;
        } else {
            // handle the error
        }
   }

比其他人建议的类更好的方法是传入一个对象,该对象可以执行您对类所做的操作,例如创建一个新实例。

interface Factory<T> {
  T apply();
}

<T> void List<T> make10(Factory<T> factory) {
  List<T> result = new ArrayList<T>();
  for (int a = 0; a < 10; a++)
    result.add(factory.apply());
  return result;
}

class FooFactory<T> implements Factory<Foo<T>> {
  public Foo<T> apply() {
    return new Foo<T>();
  }
}

List<Foo<Integer>> foos = make10(new FooFactory<Integer>());
