I posted the solution. Use interfaces. There are no such things as C++ 
style templates in Java.  You need to use interfaces. Is there a reason 
my solution isn't acceptable to you?

Not entirely.  It is primarily the eyes of colleagues which need to 
modify the behavior of the code. The compiler, while less forgiving for 
syntax, is completely forgiving of semantics.  Humans are the opposite, 
and in fact that is the trait which we need. The syntax of a program can 
interfere with understanding the semantics of it.  This is why you find 
less help.  Why do you ignore the help you do get?

I would imagine you invite them over less often than you do less noisy 
women.

Higher noise to signal ratio for your answers.

There is a difference between politics and social acceptability.  As a 
hiring manager, if you presented this code to me, I would not hire you. 
  If somehow you got hired where I worked and I saw you made this code, 
I would do whatever I could to get you fired. This code costs at least 
10 times as much as any more conventional equivalent.

I would do this regardless of the type of job you were hired to do. 
Research, enterprise, embedded, teaching. Especially teaching.  It would 
not be a personal judgement against you, but a value judgement against 
what you contribute.

On an unrelated note, it would be more polite of you to follow standard 
usenet protocol for replying to messages.  Keeping the thread in one 
place makes it easier for me to follow along. However you reply now, it 
splits the thread into multiple. Maybe you need a different news reader.
