We've seen how to use generics and why they are important. Now let's look at the use case for generics with respect to a new construct in Java SE 8, lambda expressions. Lambda expressions represent an anonymous function that implements the single abstract method of a functional interface. T...

Having the correct insertion point is all well and good, but we still have to do something with it. If you’ve ever tried to insert an element in a standard array, it’s not easy. The ArrayList class is much better suited to such operations. You can’t use generics with primitive typ...
Casting to nullable generics Casting using (decimal) or Convert.ToDecimal ? What to use? Catch an exception from one thread and throw to main thread? Catch click to red X button on the top right form catch exception of unmanaged 3rd party dll Catching events from a specific input device i...
Generics in Java are removed during compilation and have no effect in the bytecode. As such, Lightrun which works at the bytecode level is oblivious to them. The solution is to write the code as if the generic isn’t present and cast to the appropriate class: ...
public class CrunchifyInMemoryCache<K, T> { private final long timeToLive; // LRUMap: A Map implementation with a fixed maximum size which removes the least recently used entry if an entry is added when full. // The least recently used algorithm works on the get and put operations only...
This very small example project details how to support the builder pattern for a Java class hierarchy, by utilizing Java generics. The Problem The builder pattern is useful for building objects that have many properties, avoiding the the need for big, ugly constructors, or large numbers of cons...
mapper, it is important to use generics to describe the types as fully as possible. For example instead of List accounts; this should be List<Account> accounts;. Not only is this best practices for Java, it gives the AeroMapper hints about what...

Stumbling across some not altogether congenial solutions regarding this topic recently, gave me the idea to explain the problem domain and elaborate on some implementation aspects in this post. Map Distinct Value Types Using Java Generics Consider for the sake of example that you have to provide so...
