Don't know about the "looking up" part... AFAIK return types are not a part of the method signature in Java, also indicated by Class API, whose "getMethod..." stuff does not ask for the return type as a parameter...

Think that Void class it has more to do with the Metod class' getReturnType() method...

Or am I missing something?

The "Void" class came into being to support Reflection. So that you could look for methods whose return type was "void".

Thanks Stephanie and Mike.

NSSelector<Void> works fine, and it makes the code clearer.

Any idea while the language has this Void class? Something to do with void/null/”” Strings?

The JavaDocs say "The Void class is an uninstantiable placeholder class to hold a reference to the Class object representing the Java keyword void." It has been there since 1.1, so it has been needed before.

This compiles, at least ... Good to know.

Michael,

did you try the type Class Void ? something like Void.Type ?

HTH,

NSSelector<Object> works fine.  But it is a bit wonky.

Perhaps Java should allow 'null' as a type argument.

Probably a bit much to ask just to make an old NextStep class more
consistent.

NSSelector has been generified (generifried?) so that the return type of the method it calls must be specified as a type parameter.

So,
   NSSelector<String> selector = new
NSSelector<String>(“testMethod”);

Can be used to call the following method which returns a String
(regardless on what class the method resides):

   public String testMethod() {
       return “testing, testing, 1, 2, 3 ...”;
   }

But what if the method returns void?

   public void testMethod2() {
       // do something fab
   }

What type argument should be used to instantiate NSSelector<T>?

Or have I missed something fundamental?
