Wrote the following code, and then realized that I can't translate this to javascript:
public <T extends Entity> T create(Class<T> type, long id) { T t = type.newInstance(); t.setId(id); return type.cast(t); } Two problems: (1) Class.newInstance not implemented (2) Class.cast not implemented Class.cast should be easy to implement, since it's pretty much just an identity function. I.e. type.cast(t) --> t Class.newInstance() seems also relatively easy to implement. Just another prototype function to the class literal object? This is regarding the following issue: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=487&can=1&q=newInstance It's apparently low priority. But it seems it could be implemented easily. Am I wrong? Can I add this functionality myself? Any pointers? Unfortunately I'm just getting started with GWT, so I don't have a good understanding of how this works under the hood yet.
