Re: Casting a Generic List

Hello all,

Is it possible to cast an entire Generic List somehow? For example,
say I have the following:

public interface Foo {
    .....
}

public class Bar implements Foo {
    ....
}

public class Test {
    public List<Foo> getFooList() { .... }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test test = new Test();

        List<Bar> bars = test.getFooList(); // illegal
    }
}

Now assume that all the objects in the FooList were indeed
instantiated as Bar objects.

I get a compile error saying it can't convert from List<Foo> to
List<Bar>. I could always just get a list of Foo objects and cast
them to Bars myself, but I'm just wondering if it can be done for me
all at once.

Any suggestions?
