David--
Personally...I would use reflection...
try
{
List<MyType> var = Class.forName(request.getAttribute(name));// get class
definitions
o = var.newInstance(); //Instantiate a new class using the class(and
consequent definitions)..
}
catch(Exception excp)
{
System.out.println("Didnt like the class ..message="+exp.getMessage());
}
HTH,

Is there a correct way to retrieve a typed List from a request/session
attribute? The attribute is returned as an Object, but using a cast like:
List<MyType> var = (List<MyType>)request.getAttribute(name);
results in a warning:
Type safety: The cast from Object to List<MyType> is actually checking
against the erased type List
The code works fine, but I'd like to get rid of the warning if there's a
correct way to do this cast.
Thanks,
David
