Title
Body
The whole generics thing is kinda throwing me for a loop, and more so the RTT. Specificis? Ah well here's the gist: enum QueryHelper { query1, query2; static <T> QueryHelper getQueryHelper (Class<T> expectedReturn) { if (expectedReturn.isInstance (SomeRelatedClass.class)) return query1; else return query2; } } and then I would call it like so: ... QueryHelper helper = QueryHelper.getQueryHelper(SomeRelatedClass.class); ... This is so that I can really flexibly assign the query return type in the actual helper. It does some casting and object creation. What I am seeing is that there is no match, should I be doing this some other way? Or is the whole idea just bad? And the real heart of this is that I don't understand the difference between class.isInstance and the instanceOf operator? Should I be using the latter?
