Is there an alternative to Class.isAssignableFrom that works with Type objects?
In Java, Class
has an isAssignableFrom
method defined as follows:
public boolean isAssignableFrom(Class<?> cls)
Determines if the class or interface represented by this Class
object is either the same as, or is a superclass or superinterface of, the class or interface represented by the specified Class
parameter. It returns true
if so; otherwise it returns false
. If this Class
object represents a primitive type, this method returns true
if the specified Class
parameter is exactly this Class
object; otherwise it returns false
.
Specifically, this method tests whether the type represented by the specified Class
parameter can be converted to the type represented by this Class
object via an identity conversion or via a widening reference conversion. See The Java Language Specification, sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.4 , for details.
Parameters:
cls
- the Class
object to be checked
Returns:
the boolean
value indicating whether objects of the type cls
can be assigned to objects of this class
Class
implements the Type
interface. Is there an equivalent isAssignableFrom
method that works on Type
s instead of just Class
es? For example, is there a method that determines if a variable of type List<String>
(which would be represented via an instance of ParameterizedType
) can be assigned to a variable of type List<? extends Object>
List<? extends Object>
?
Have a look at javaRuntype -- I've found it useful. It can produce representations of types from instances of java.lang.reflect.Type
, and test assignability between them.
Guava's TypeToken utility provides that functionality. Your query could be answered like this:
// represents List<String>
ParameterizedType stringList = ...;
// represents List<? extends Object>
TypeToken objectList = new TypeToken<List<? extends Object>>(){};
boolean isAssignable = objectList.isAssignableFrom( stringList );
You can cast between any List<...>-s, the protection is weaker than normally.
Try this
List<String> a = new Vector<String>();
List<Integer> b = new Vector<Integer>();
Integer i = new Integer(0);
b.add(2);
a = (List<String>) (Object) b;
System.out.println((Object)a.get(0));
no exceptions will be thrown.
This is because generics are only compile time notion.
If you write
System.out.println(a.get(0));
you will get ClassCastException because println function version determined at compile time will be println(String arg).
Ah, so the answer to the question: it should be incorrect to have such an alternative.
