Thanks, some problem had removed stuff in angular braces. It is corrected now.

mmmm… I’m kind of newbie to this stuff, but I think that in the second case you forgot the use of generics… just ommited the cast… methinks….

there is an advantage in using Generics. The code for type casting is avoided if we use Generics.

i.e.
List myList = new ArrayList();
while(myList.iterator().hasNext()){
String temp = myList.iterator().next();
}

the list value can be directly applied to temp, without type casting it to String, because of the Generics.
