Generics

[Nikhil Jain]

   
package st;
 
import java.util.HashMap;
public class UseGenerics {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<String, Object> returnValue = null;
Generics generics = new Generics();
returnValue = (HashMap<String, Object> :wink: generics.getAttribute();
  }
}
 
package st;
public class Generics {
public Object getAttribute() {
return "" //Returns something like hashMap
}
 
}

Eclipse gives a warning for the above code.
Type safety: The cast from Object to HashMap<String,Object> is actually checking against the erased type HashMap

How will we return something of object type in generics without getting the warning ...

I'm not sure why, but I believe that you need to replace <String, Object> with <String, ?>
