=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
public class S1944 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> list = (List<String>) getAttributes(); // Noncompliant; List<Integer> return by getAttributes() is not be casted to List<String>
String s = list.get(0); // java.lang.ClassCastException will be raised here
}
private static List<?> getAttributes() {
List<Integer> result = new ArrayList<>();
result.add(0);
return result;
}
}

=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
public class S1944 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Integer> list = (List<Integer>) getAttributes(); // Compliant
String s = String.valueOf(list.get(0));
}
private static List<?> getAttributes() {
List<Integer> result = new ArrayList<>();
result.add(0);
return result;
}
