Is it possible to cast a Stream in Java 8?

by

I don’t think there is a way to do that out-of-the-box. A possibly cleaner solution would be:

Stream.of(objects)
    .filter(c -> c instanceof Client)
    .map(c -> (Client) c)
    .map(Client::getID)
    .forEach(System.out::println);

or, as suggested in the comments, you could use the cast method – the former may be easier to read though:

Stream.of(objects)
    .filter(Client.class::isInstance)
    .map(Client.class::cast)
    .map(Client::getID)
    .forEach(System.out::println);
