Re: cannot find symbol?

  this is what I had in mind. The thing is that I wanted to get a typed object
~
  public T_Ctxt getCtxtDTO();
~
  instead of a flat one
~
  public Object getCtxtDTO();
~
  and even though I haven't had the chance/need to learn about generics and how
they relate to reflection I have the (probably wrong) hunch that there should
be a way to do that
