How to replace generic type with concrete type when inheriting?

Hi,

Let's assume we have a generified container class

publicclass Container<T>{

public T getElement(){...}

publicvoid setElement(T element){...}

}

Now there is the need for a new specialized container class which inherits from the generic one. For this specialized class I would like to omit the generics completely for its users - something like:

publicclass SpecializedContainer<"T=SpecializedType">extends Container<T>{

public SpecializedElement getElement(){...}

publicvoid setElement(SpecializedElement element){...}

}

That means, I should be able to use that class as follows:

SpecializedContainer c =new SpecializedContainer();

SpecializedElement e = c.getElement();

Any ideas if/how this is possible?

Thanks, Hans
