Creating an array of another class

Question

I kinda need help. Im trying to create an Hash Table using an array of Elements but I keep getting this error, can someone help me? (This array really needs to be an array of Elements).

This is my Element class

public class Element<T>{
  T element;
  boolean state;

  public Element(){
    element=null;
    state=false;
  }


  public Element(T elemento){
    element=elemento;
    state=false;
  }

this is my HashTable class

public class HashTable<T>{
  int maxSize;
  int size;
  float factorCarga;
  private Element<T>[] hash;

  public HashTable(int x){
    this.maxSize=x;
    this.size=0;
    hash =(Element<T>[]) new Object[x];
    factorCarga=0;
  }

This is my Test class

public class Test{


  public static void main(String args[]){
  HashTable<Element<Integer>> hash = new HashTable<Element<Integer>>(35);
  }

}

when i try to run the program i always get this error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to[LElement;

***hash =(Element[]) new Object[x]*** you just cant do it like that — ΦXocę 웃 Пepeúpa ツ, Jan 15 '17 at 18:48
Element[] hash = new Element[17]; I still get this error; Error: generic array creation @belwood — Tiago Florentino, Jan 15 '17 at 19:07
Better yet, here's a good discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/529085/how-to-create-a-generic-array-in-java — belwood, Jan 15 '17 at 19:15
As a general rule: any time you're casting, ask yourself if you're doing it the right way. When you've finished asking yourself, ask again. And then one more time, just to be certain. — Joe C, Jan 15 '17 at 19:42
