There are many things that need to be understood in a call like this. First of all, that method receives an array as its argument: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#asList(T...)
>From your first example I think you are trying to translate to clojure the following java call: java.util.Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3); In java this is a varargs call, which means java will change the call to one using an array as the parameter (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/language/varargs.html). So, in order to make that call we need to wrap those arguments in an array. The easiest way to do this would be to wrap the arguments in a vector an turn that into an array: user> (java.util.Arrays/asList (into-array [1 2 3])) [1 2 3] If you don't already have a sequence (the vector in the previous example) then you can use a function to do the work: user> (defn as-list [& args] (java.util.Arrays/asList (into-array args))) #'user/as-list user> (as-list 1 2 3) [1 2 3] user> (type (as-list 1 2 3)) java.util.Arrays$ArrayList Cheers, Mauricio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
