Question

Does anybody want to answer my question linked here how-to-pass-a-typed-collection-from-clojure-to-java
, by providing a clear example, for the rest of us who are trying to sneak clojure in their existing java stack?

Answer 1

From Chas Emerick’s answer to my original question, I have setup this small maven project:

interop ---- domainobjects ---- IFoo.java
                           ---- TypedObject.java
                           ---- pom.xml

        ---- functional    ---- fooimpl.clj
                           ---- pom.xml

        ---- consumer      ---- JavaConsumer.java
                           ---- JavaConsumerTest.groovy
                           ---- pom.xml
        ---- pom.xml

public interface IFoo {
    List<TypedObject> createListOfTypedObjects(String message);
}


package com.tobeconsumed.byjava;

public class TypedObject {

    private String property;

    public String getProperty() {
        return property;
    }

    public void setProperty(String property) {
        this.property = property;
    }
}
