Yet another warning message...

Question

What is this message trying to tell me and how do I fix it?
unchecked call to getMethod(java.lang.String,java.lang.Class<?>...) as a member of the raw type java.lang.Class
The line causing the problem:
method = beanClass.getMethod(methodName, EMPTY_CLASS_ARRAY);A simple example to compile:
import java.lang.reflect.*;
import java.util.*;
public class BeanComparator2
     private static final Class[] EMPTY_CLASS_ARRAY = new Class[] {};
     private Method method;
     BeanComparator2(Class beanClass, String methodName)
          //  Make sure the method exists in the given bean class
          try
               method = beanClass.getMethod(methodName, EMPTY_CLASS_ARRAY);
               //  other things I've tried
//               method = beanClass.getMethod(methodName, (Class[])null);
//               method = beanClass.getMethod(methodName, null);
          catch(NoSuchMethodException nsme)
               String message = methodName + "() method does not exist";
               throw new IllegalArgumentException( message );
}The line of code in question is using reflection to find a method of the specified name that has no parameters.

Answer 1

Change Class to Class<?> throughout. It turns out I only need to do the following:
BeanComparator2(Class<?> beanClass, String methodName)The warning message seemed to be pointing to the method as the cause of the problem so I thought it had to do with my empty array declaration.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Its still going to take me a while to understand this.
