How to require .class parameter to be a certain class in Java?

Question

For example, I want to do something like:

public void foo(Class c){
    doSomething();
}

But I want the Class c parameter to be a class that has implemented a specific interface. Is there a way to enforce this at compile time?

Answer 1

You can use generics:

public void foo(Class<? extends SomeInterface> c){
    doSomething();
}
