ATypeRef (Alexandria Java 0.0.17 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.g2forge.alexandria.java.type.ref.ATypeRefIdentity<T>
- - com.g2forge.alexandria.java.type.ref.ATypeRef<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The (static) Java type to capture.

All Implemented Interfaces:

IDynamicType<T>, ITypeRef<T>
```
public abstract class ATypeRef<T>
extends ATypeRefIdentity<T>
```
Abstract implementation of ITypeRef used to statically capture a parameterized (generic) Java type. If you the type T is not parameterized, you may prefer ITypeRef.of(Class) as being simpler. To use this class one should create an anonymous class new ATypeRef<List<String>>(){}. By constructing the anonymous class we are able to use the Java reflection API in ATypeRef() to ensure that getType() returns List<String> as an instance of ParameterizedType.
