Phil Wadler and Maurice Naftalin are writing a book titled "Java Generics and Collections", to be published by O'Reilly Media, Inc. Ste Marie - Seattle, WA USAThis is a very basic introduction to the Java Collections. In Java, you will find Collection API's extensively uses generics as they are meant to contain any type of classes so it has to be generic in nature. In this excerpt from Java Generics and Collections, authors Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler show what to do when genericizing client code that calls a non-genericized library.

List dogs = new ArrayList();. Lets see the anatomy of List interface defined in java.util package:. Finally Java in its Tiger release provided a solution to this problem via the generics feature. 0596527756 - Java Generics and Collections - This comprehensive guide shows you how to master the most important changes to Java since it was first released. Java Generics and Collections Not worth the price of purchase - Paul J. Since I've been taken to task in the past for my cogent observations of Java's, um, shall we say "unintuitive" behavior, particularly in the era of generics and autoboxing, I'm just going to put this one out there without making any (public (explicit)) value That is, inside the method, any subclass or SuperType could be added to the list (since it's just a Collection of SuperType) but then List would not only contain SubtypeOfSuperType objects.
