Detecting the generic type in runtime

Assuming we have a class:


public abstract class GenericDAOImpl


Now what if we need to get the "Class" object identifying the generic type's class type in run time ?


Class entityClass = (Class)((ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0];


Kindly share if there are other ways.

Hosting Apache Tapestry5.1 on GAE (Google App Engine)

Assalam Alikom In this post, I'll try to explain the steps I took to host Tapestry5.1 on google app engine. First of all here is my application . A very good place to start is here . This page will help you know what will, won't or will partially work on Google app engine. Now straight to tapestry5.1 stuff .. 1)AppModule.java public class AppModule { public static void contributeApplicationDefaults(MappedConfiguration config)   {   config.add(SymbolConstants.PRODUCTION_MODE, "false"); // This mainly affects how exceptions are reported, I'm   not sure - and I don't think - its vital to host tapestry   on GAE.   config.add("tapestry.thread-pool-enabled", "false"); //Now this is a must !, GAE restriction.   config.add(SymbolConstants.APPLICATION_VERSION, "0.1"); // This is to override the random number generated by tapestry in assets paths  } } 2)There as a compatibility issue between tapestry5 and GAE, that's wh...

Testing SOAP services using pingdom

This post  gives half the answer I needed to test SOAP services . The other half of the answer was to override the default Content-Type HTTP header added by pingdom  (Check the 11th point in the Optional Parameters section). To override the header, just add one with a blank space. This worked for me and may be for you too. Also another thing I had to do while testing web services developed using Apache Axis (I don't know which version), is that I had to specify a SOAPAction header with the value ""  (The value is 2 double quotes, not an empty value) Generally, you need successfully send a POST request to the service and find out what HEADER you are missing (i.e. to add it) or adding (i.e. to remove it). You can use SOAP UI to do that. But SOAP UI doesn't show sent HEADER by default, so you'll need to download TCPMon (Which records and displays communications), start it, and let it proxy connections on a specific port, then configure SOAP UI to use that po...

How to undo Git commits ?

You'll need to "reset" the last commit by running the following git command git reset HEAD~ If you wish to undo more that one git commit, add the number of commits to be undone after the tilda, for example: git reset HEAD~3 git reset undo your commits and leaves your, previously committed files, in an unstaged state. If you would like to leave the uncommitted files in a staged state, add the parameter --soft to the reset command, for example: git reset --soft HEAD~2 From here, you can proceed with updating\committing your files.
