thatīs an awesome solution Ales!
I didnīt thought that I could obtain the parametizedType that way!
Testing this will be my first task tomorrow morning.

thank you all for your ideas.

Nice solution Ales, wish I'd thought of it :)

You could do something like this:

    @Produces
    public GenericQuery injectClass(InjectionPoint ip) {
        Annotated annotated = ip.getAnnotated();
        Class clazz = Object.class;
        Type type = annotated.getBaseType();
        if (type instanceof ParameterizedType) {
            ParameterizedType pt = (ParameterizedType) type;
            clazz = (Class) pt.getActualTypeArguments()[0];
        }
        return new GenericQuery(clazz);
    }

    @Inject
    GenericQuery<String> gqs;
    @Inject
    GenericQuery<Number> gqn;

--

        System.out.println("GQS: " + gqs.getClazz());
        System.out.println("GQN: " + gqn.getClazz());

GQS: class java.lang.String
GQN: class java.lang.Number

Hey guys, how you doing?

I'm trying to achieve something that might be impossible, but before concluding that, I'd like to ask you, CDI gurus!

I have the following class:

public class Foo<T> {

    public TypedQuery<T> getQuery(){

    }

}

As you can Imagine, inside my getQuery method, I'd have to use "T.class" to make it TypedQuery. which is impossible due java generics type erasure.

so I'd have to build a private field to hold the t.class for me.

public class Foo<T> {

    private Class<T> klass;

    public TypedQuery<T> getQuery(){

    }
    
    public void setKlass(Class<T> klass){
        this.klass = klass;
    }
}

The problem is that forcing this 'setKlass' feels very ugly to the api, and it's not very error prone, since one could easily forget to set this configuration.

So I had an Idea: force the setKlass inside the constructor:

public class Foo<T> {

    private Class<T> klass;
    
    public Foo(Class<T> klass){
        this.klass = klass;
    }

    public TypedQuery<T> getQuery(){

    }

}

Unfortunatelly, this breaks cdi, since it cannot inject it anymore. At least AFAIK.

So, is there a way out of this? maybe using a secret solder feature?
