Hi all, I want to compose a java function call out of a string in a macro:
I tried something like this simplified example, but it doesn't work. creating a symbol out of a string is not enough. Note: I know that uppercase variable names are bad, but it simplifies the example. So how I do it right? TIA Steffen repl: user> (defmacro set-example [obj feature] (let [meth-name# (symbol (str ".set" (name feature)))] `(~meth-name# ~obj ~feature))) #'user/set-example user> (let [o (javax.swing.JCheckBox . "foo") Label "xxx"] (set-example o Label)) CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: . in this context, compiling:(/tmp/form-init6247570319423795481.clj:1:9) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
