ArrayList with different objects? Help

[xtrmi]

Been looking around for the proper way to build an ArrayList that holds two different objects. Is this possible?

[Fubarable]

It's quite easily possible, and one way is to create a non-generic ArrayList (an ArrayList without the <> part). Having said that, I don't recommend that you do this except in unusual circumstances. What type of two different objects precisely will this list be holding?

[xtrmi]

It will hold to different objects that I have created, Router and Computer.

Do they both use the same base class? If so, use that base class as the generic type. Otherwise, although it kind of defeats the purpose, use Object. In either case, you will need to cast the retrieved objects to make "full use" of them once retrieved.

Ok, thank you for the good suggestions.
