Hello all,
tried to search for this topic, but by "class AND generic" you find a lot, but not what you are searching for...
Here's the problem:
There's this Mapping-Framework "Dozer" (http://dozer.sourceforge.net/), and you can extend the class "DozerConverter":
public abstract class DozerConverter<A, B> implements ConfigurableCustomConverter {
// ...
public DozerConverter(Class<A> prototypeA, Class<B> prototypeB) {
this.prototypeA = prototypeA;
this.prototypeB = prototypeB;
}
// ...
}
Now I want to write a converter that converts a Map<String, String> to an Object (don't blame me for that - there's this old crappy code and I got to deal with it). My problem is how to call the super-class:
public class MyMapObjectConverter extends DozerConverter<Map<String, String>, Object> {
// ...
public MyMapObjectConverter() {
super((Class<Map<String, String>>) Map.class, Object.class); // doesn't work
// super(Map.class, Object.class); // doesn't work either
// super(Map<String, String>.class, Object.class); // doesn't work either
}
// ...
}
I'm a bit clueless at the moment. How to call the super-constructor in a valid way?
Thank you very much for any hint!
Best regards
