how can I instantiate a template class in java in a certain way?

Question

I have a template class in Java, such as ArrayList. I want to create a class that extends the template class, while fixing SomeType to some type. Later, I want to be able to pass the non-templated new class as an argument to methods that originally accepted ArrayList. Is that possible? Thanks.

I believe you can. Check out this post at JavaRanch

What you're looking for is

public class MyList extends ArrayList<String>{
    //code
}
