Get type of a generic parameter in Java with reflection

by

One construct, I once stumbled upon looked like

Class<T> persistentClass = (Class<T>)
   ((ParameterizedType)getClass().getGenericSuperclass())
      .getActualTypeArguments()[0];

So there seems to be some reflection-magic around that I unfortunetly don’t fully understand… Sorry.
