5.0 Generics

I've just started trying some of the features of jdk 5.0. I'm trying to use
generics to make a Spring Controller more type-safe.

In the pre-5.0 code I had the following code:

Map myModel = new HashMap();

I need to use a String as the key and various types of Objects as the value
when adding entries into myModel.

Can anyone out there tell me the best way to genericize that declaration?

I tried:
Map<String,?> myModel = new HashMap<String, ?>();
but the compiler (at least the one in Eclipse 3.1M4) doesn't like it.

this is the solution you want i think

I need to initialise a typed parameter depending of its type in a generic class. I have tried to use the C++ template form as follow, but it doesn't work. It seems to be a limitation of generics vs C++ templates. Does anyone knows a workaround to do this ? Thx : public class C<T> { private T myValue;

Why do people spend so much time writing complex generic types? for fun? to learn? for use? I think of generics like I do about operator overloading. Great to have as a language-feature, as it defines the language more completely. Great to use.

This is a common problem with generics, but I hope someone has found the best way of solving it. I have these classes: "Fruit" which is a baseclass, and "Apple" which is derived. Further I have an "AppleBasket" which is a class that contains a collection of apples. So, some code: class Fruit{ }

Hello! Exception handling in generics seems to be a bit inconsistent to me. Imagine, I have "MyOwnException" class derived from "ApplicationException".

Hello NewsGroup, Reading up on Generics in the .NET Framework 2.0 using C# 2005 (SP1), I have a question on the application of Generics. Knowingly, Generic classes are contained in the System.Collections.Generic namespace. Literature I have read on this ties generics in with collections, hence articulate their examples as such. That's fine,...
