Re: correct usage for @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

I'm just going through and ensuring compilation with -Xlint and find
myself assuming that the cast will work -- which it currently does.
Should it be wrapped in a try/get? A more sophisticated use of
generics?

package view;

import database.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class BeatlesLoader {

     private Logger logger =
Logger.getLogger(view.BeatlesLoader.class.getName());
     private ParametersBean mp = new ParametersBean();

     public BeatlesLoader() {
         logger.log(Level.INFO, "BeatlesLoader...");
     }

     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     private List<Beatle> populateBeatles() {
         logger.log(Level.INFO, "populateBeatles...");
         database.DatabaseBean database = new database.DatabaseBean();
         ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> table = database.getTable();
         List<Beatle> beatles = new ArrayList<Beatle>();
         for (ArrayList record : table) {
             Beatle beatle = new Beatle(record);
             beatles.add(beatle);
         }
         logger.log(Level.INFO, "...populateBeatles" +
beatles.toString());
         return beatles;
     }

     public List<Beatle> getBeatles() {
         logger.log(Level.INFO, "getBeatles...");
         List<Beatle> beatles = populateBeatles();
         logger.log(Level.INFO, "...getBeatles" + beatles.toString());
         return beatles;
     }
}

thanks,
