    <p><a href="http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/FAQSections/TechnicalDetails.html#What%20is%20type%20erasure?" rel="noreferrer">Type erasure</a> means that information about the generic type of an <em>object</em> simply isn't present at execution time.</p> <p>(The link is to the relevant section of Angelika Langer's <a href="http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/JavaGenericsFAQ.html" rel="noreferrer">Java Generics FAQ</a> which should answer virtually every question you could possibly ask about Java generics :)</p> <p>However, you're not really interested in the type of an object - you're interested in the type of a <em>field</em>. I misread the question, and although the answer has been accepted I hope to make amends by fixing it now :)</p> <p>If the field doesn't use a type parameter itself, it can be done. For example:</p> <pre><code>import java.lang.reflect.*; import java.util.*; public class Test { public List&lt;String&gt; names; public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception // Just for simplicity! { Field field = Test.class.getDeclaredField("names"); ParameterizedType type = (ParameterizedType) field.getGenericType(); // List System.out.println(type.getRawType()); // Just String in this case for (Type typeArgument : type.getActualTypeArguments()) { System.out.println(" " + typeArgument); } } } </code></pre> <p>If the field were in a class <code>T</code> with the field being <code>List&lt;T&gt;</code> then you'd have to know the type argument for the instance in order to know the type argument for the collection.</p> <p>Translating this into your required code is somewhat tricky though - you really need to know the type argument at the point of the collection class. For instance, if someone declared:</p> <pre><code>public class StringCollection implements Collection&lt;String&gt; </code></pre> <p>and then had a field of type <code>StringCollection</code>, that field itself wouldn't have any type arguments. You'd then need to check <code>getGenericSuperType</code> and <code>getGenericInterfaces</code> recursively until you found what you wanted.</p> <p>It's really not going to be easy to do that, even though it's possible. If I were you I'd try to change your design so that you don't need this.</p>

    1. COThe recursive checking indeed is not easy, there are many corner cases to take into account. And that's just the first step, next you need an isAssignableFrom equivalent that handles generics too. I wouldn't recommend trying to implement it yourself. I wrote a library that does this for you, called gentyref. See http://code.google.com/p/gentyref/ .

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
