Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

ParameterizedType

Synopsis

This subinterface of Type represents a parameterized type. getRawType( ) returns the base type that has been parameterized. getActualTypeArguments( ) returns the type parameters as a Type[ ]. Note that these parameters may themselves be ParameterizedType objects. getOwnerType( ) is used with parameterized types that are also nested types: it returns the generic type of the containing type.
