// final Base<Integer> wontCompile = new Run<Integer>(Double.class);
}
}


so I need a parameter for the type

Btw, what do you need that for?


See my posting some days ago. I use a JNI call with C++ templates so I
must set the template
parameter on compile-time. Within the JNI call I can't determine the
generic argument of the
instantiated java object (because it is set on java-compile-time). So I
create dual JNI calls one
for float and one for double, but I must decide on the java ctor call if
I instantiate the float or double
object, you do this in the with if(cl == Float.Class), in my source code
the DoFloat is the JNI call
for the C++ template float (otherwise the double).


A simpler solution would be

public abstract class Base<T extends Number> {
   public static Base<Double> createDoubleHandler() { return new
RunDouble(); }
   public static Base<Float> createFloatHandler() { ... }

   public T anylogic(T x) {
     //
     return x == null ? null : specific(x);
   }

   protected abstract T specific(T abc);
}

final class RunDouble extends Base<Double> {
   protected Double specific(Double x) {
     return 123d + x;
   }
}
....

Kind regards
