Scala classOf on class with recursive type parameter

Question

I need to call classOf on a class written in Java as follows:

public class Order<I extends Item> {...}

where Item is like the following

public class Item<O extends Order> {...}

Then I need to pass the class of Order to some method. In Java, it is Order.class. But in Scala, I have to use classOf(Order[Item[Order....).

What is the right way to get the Order's class in Scala?

Nothing is clear from your public class Order and public class Item. Please provide more details about these classes — ZhekaKozlov

How about simply classOf[Order[_]]?

(BTW, your Java declarations are using raw types — most likely, you'll need to declare things like class Order<O extends Order<O, I>, I extends Item<O, I>> and class Item<O extends Order<O, I>, I extends Item<O, I>>.)
