help with java type erasure

Question

in my long journey to learn about hibernate, i wanted to use generic DAO and came across a good article at the hibernate site and tried out the IMPLEMENTATION WITH HIBERNATE Section.I'm having an error saying :GenericDAOImpl.java:[22,16] name clash: makeTransient(T) in GenericDAOImpl and makeTransient(T) in GenericDAO have the same erasure, yet neither overrides the other.I have no idea about how to solve that?Thanks for reading

Answer 1

Hard to say without seeing some of your code. For example, your implementing class should be defined as something like

public class GenericDAOImpl<T, ID> implements GenericDAO<T, ID>

and if you miss out the generic parameters in the GenericDAOImpl class definition, you will get this error.
