Sorry, I may have oversimplified my question with that example.

I have an algorithm that requires efficient populating and referencing of a
static sized ordered set. The constraints of the problem point to arrays as
the most efficient way to accomplish this.

I am trying to figure out if, for any java class, can you instance an array of
that class, and furthermore reference the
members of that array from jess:

I.E. given the general java syntax:

    myClass[] myObjArray =  new myClass[n]
     // and then reference an element in the array of objects as:
    myObjArray[i] ...

Is there jess syntax that is equivalent to java's new myClass[n] ?
Is there jess syntax equivalent to java's myObjArray[i] ?

One method is to populate a mulitfield,  looping through n instances of (new
myClass), then reference them as (nth$ i). Being that it is efficiency I'm
after in creating an array in the first place, I suspect this would not have
any performance benefit over a java Vector, and probably not compete with a
java array.

The other is to create an (Adapter pattern) class in java, effectively hiding
the required array syntax, but again at the cost of efficiency.

Any other possibilities?

Thanks,

Jack
