类型安全的异构容器

原文:http://gafter.blogspot.com/2006/12/super-type-tokens.html

1. 泛型通常用于集合,如Set和Map等。这样的用法也就限制了每个容器只能有固定数目的类型参数,一般来说,这也确实是我们想要的。

然而有的时候我们需要更多的灵活性,如数据库可以用任意多的Column,如果能以类型安全的方式访问所有Columns就好了,幸运的是

有一种方法可以很容易的做到这一点,就是将key进行参数化,而不是将容器参数化,见以下代码

 1 public class Favorites {
 2     private Map<Class<?>, Object> favorites = new HashMap<Class<?>, Object>();
 3     public <T> void setFavorite(Class<T> klass, T thing) {
 4         favorites.put(klass, thing);
 5     }
 6     public <T> T getFavorite(Class<T> klass) {
 7         return klass.cast(favorites.get(klass));
 8     }
 9     public static void main(String[] args) {
10         Favorites f = new Favorites();
11         f.setFavorite(String.class, "Java");
12         f.setFavorite(Integer.class, 0xcafebabe);
13         String s = f.getFavorite(String.class);
14         int i = f.getFavorite(Integer.class);
15     }
16 }

 

2.不足之处

There is a limitation to this pattern. Erasure rears its ugly head:

Favorites:15: illegal start of expression
f.setFavorite(List<String>.class, Collections.emptyList());

 

3.改进

        this.type = ((ParameterizedType) superclass).getActualTypeArguments()[0];

            throws NoSuchMethodException, IllegalAccessException,
