Java: How to read csv files of different data types and lengths into an ArrayList< Object>?

Question

I have created a parent class Object with 3 parameters, a child class ObjectA with 4 parameters and a child class ObjectB with 8 parameters. These parameters have different data types. I need to read a csv file A (with 4 columns) and a csv file B (with 8 columns) into one ArrayList< Object>. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible, except that the parent class cannot be called 'Object'.

    ArrayList<ObjectParent> list = new ArrayList<ObjectParent>();
    list.add(new ObjectA(aPath));
    list.add(new ObjectB(bPath));
