Type Parameter Issues

This one has a lot of code. (it was too much for discord, find em here https://pastebin.com/uXUCwmVQ) The issue is in the construction of a request. I have no clue what is going on, but for some reason, I can do this with absolutely no errors:

System.out.println(Request.of(RType.INTEGER, new ArrayList<>(), 3, true));

System.out.println(Request.of(RType.INTEGER, new ArrayList<>(), 3, true));

And, yes, I tried this:

System.out.println(new Request<>(RType.INTEGER, new ID(""), true));

System.out.println(new Request<>(RType.INTEGER, new ID(""), true));

For some reason, I can set an integer to a boolean? I think I am a very advanced programmer, but this has me stumped. Any help appreciated!

Wdym Well Boolean doesn't extend integer, so I have no clue why it's allowing me to do that And same with other stuff like strings

Ok But there is no string, only String, so I have no clue on that one

Yeah. If I add a variable like Request<Integer> it recognizes it as an error. Is there a way to adjust the method to fix it? I don't want to have to state the class twice to get it to work.

Ye I'm on phone too And that kinda defeats the purpose of the enum. If it's the hard then I guess I'll just use strings for identifiers.

Cool I meant because this is for server-client stuff, so it will need to be serializable, any ideas on a method that can get the variable name? Actually better idea: integer id
