Is it possible to cast a stream in Java 8? Say I have a list of objects, I can do something like this to filter out all the additional objects:
Stream.of(objects).filter(c -> c instanceof Client)
After this though, if I want to do something with the clients I would need to cast each of them:
Stream.of(objects).filter(c -> c instanceof Client)
.map(c -> ((Client) c).getID()).forEach(System.out::println);
This looks a little ugly. Is it possible to cast an entire stream to a different type? Like cast Stream<Object> to a Stream<Client>?
Please ignore the fact that doing things like this would probably mean bad design. We do stuff like this in my computer science class, so I was looking into the new features of java 8 and was curious if this was possible.
