I'm trying to make a method that takes an argument of Country.class, User.class etc, and returns argument.count().
All the possible classes that I would give to this method extend from Model and have the method count().
My code:
private static long <T> countModel(Model<T> clazz)
{
return clazz.count();
}
Called by:
renderArgs.put("countryCount", countModel(Country.class));
However this just doesn't work at all.
How do I do this, please?
