public abstract class ParameterizedTypeReference<T> extends Object
Type. In order to capture the generic type and retain it at runtime,
you need to create a subclass as follows:
ParameterizedTypeReference<List<String>> typeRef = new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<String>>() {};
The resulting typeReference instance can then be used to obtain a
Type instance that carries parameterized type information.
