incompatible types found object expect integer

[bflhr673]

i have a simple program that on compile gives the error
./Ticket1.java:7: incompatible types
found : java.lang.Object
required: java.lang.Integer
return price;

the program is below

the abstract class


public abstract class Ticket <AnyType>{

public AnyType price;
public Ticket(AnyType p){
price =p;}
public abstract AnyType read();

}

_____________________________________________

the subclass

public class Ticket1 extends Ticket{
private static final Integer free= 0;
public Ticket1(){
super(free);
}
public Integer read(){
return price;
}


}

______________________________________________

main to use classes

class TestTicket {

public static void main (String args[])
{
Ticket<Integer>a = new Ticket1();
Integer value = a.read();
System.out.println(value);

}

}

Doesn't Ticket1 need to extend Ticket<Integer>?

class Ticket1 extends Ticket<Integer> {
   private static final Integer free = 0;

   public Ticket1() {
      super(free);
   }

   public Integer read() {
      return price;
   }

}

Your code doesn't even compile; check the error diagnostics, they tell you what's wrong. Your class Ticket1 is either a generic class itself or it extends a concrete implementation of a generic Ticket class.

kind regards,

Jos

edit: hrmph, too slow again ...
