Trouble specifying a gen-class constructor taking an argument of the class being created
Hello,
Does anyone know a straightforward way to create a constructor using
gen-class that takes an argument of the same class as the class you're
generating?
When I try to do it I get a ClassNotFoundException, assuming I don't
have a previous compiled version of the class in my compile path.
Basically what I'm trying to do is:
(ns my.class
(:gen-class
:init init
:constructors {[String String] []
[some.java.Class] []
[my.class] []}
:state state)
(:import [stuff.goes.here]))
(implementation)
I could just instruct the constructor to take an Object, but that's
not satisfying and forces me to branch more in -init to determine the
class of the argument.
On a different note, is there a capitalization convention for classes
created with gen-class? Is it CamelCase since they're java classes for
all intents and purposes? Or hyphen-case since we want to spread the
love?
Thanks,
Garth

Re: Trouble specifying a gen-class constructor taking an argument of the class being created
Does anyone know a straightforward way to create a constructor using gen-class that takes an argument of the same class as the class you're generating? I've actually hit a related problem: a generated class cannot have type annotations for itself (because, as you've noticed, the class doesn't exist yet), and thus ends up using reflection when calling its own inherited methods. I end up annotating the 'this' argument with the superclass name, but of course that's not strictly correct. On a different note, is there a capitalization convention for classes created with gen-class? Is it CamelCase since they're java classes for all intents and purposes? Or hyphen-case since we want to spread the love? I use PascalCase. (camelCase is where there's a hump in the middle.) ;) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Trouble specifying a gen-class constructor taking an argument of the class being created
I think you're right. Thanks. At this point I'll just work around it rather than patching, but it's good to know people are thinking about it---even if Rich has set the ticket to Backlog. And thanks Richard... I didn't even know PascalCase had a name =).
