Well I think all you need is a TypeCheckPredicate class...real simple:
public class TypeCheckPredicate implements Predicate {
private Class type;
public TypeCheckPredicate(Class type) {
this.type = type;
}
public boolean evaluate(Object input) {
return type.isInstance(input);
}
}
PredicatedList would just take a Predicate in its constructor, and
anytime someone adds an element it throws an exception if the
predicate's evalute method returns false on the element. Then when
TypedList extends PredicatedList it becomes a very small class that
simply constructs a TypeCheckPredicate and passes it to its superclass.
