Type safety: The method add(Object) belongs to the raw type Collection. References to generic type Collection<E> should be parameterized

It seems to occur when I use either Hashtable or HashMap

private HashMap actions;

/**
* @throws ServletException
*/
public void init() throws ServletException {

CreateNewUser createNewUser = new CreateNewUser();
actions.put(“CreateNewUser”.toLowerCase(), createNewUser);

You either need to turn off 1.5 support and don’t use generics, or you have to define your hash table key/value types using types. like:
Map<String, CreateNewUser> actions = new HashMap<String, CreateNewUser>();

that notation might not be right, I’m doing it from memory.

Riyad,

Can you tell me the exact notation? I don’t know so… I don’t want to just try random syntax to get it right.

John,
If you don’t know generics I would suggest turning off Java 5 support otherwise you are going to continue to get those warnings everywhere. So me helping with this one instance is a very temporary solution.

Or pickup a tutorial real quick on the subject, but I imagine you’d rather just get work done interruption-free at the moment.

I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t start using generics until about 3 months ago and I’m still alive, so it’s not necessary 😀
