So I have 3 classes.

Abstract class A 

Class B extends class A

independent Class C

In class D that contains the main method, I create a list of instances of class B

List<B> b =  methodCall(); // the method returns a list of instances of class B

Now in class C I have one method that is common to both A and B, and hence I don't want to duplicate it. I want to have one method that takes as input an instance of class A, as follows:

public void someMethod(List<A> a)

However, when I do:

C c = new C();
c.someMethod(b);

I get an error that some-method is not applicable for the argument List<B>, instead it's expecting to get List<A>.

Is there a good way to fix this problem? Many thanks!
