title: How do I find out what type each object is in a ArrayList<Object>?
body: <p>I have a ArrayList made up of different elements imported from a db, made up of strings, numbers, doubles and ints. Is there a way to use a reflection type technique to find out what each type of data each element holds?  </p>
  
  <p>FYI: The reason that there is so many types of data is that this is a piece of java code being written to be implemented with different DB's.</p>
