Question

I am using a java object that returns a java interface and am a newbie with scala
I am trying to do the following:

val model = dao.getAccount(id)

model is an interface but I should be able to cast it as an object

but I know that in java I can cast this object like this:

model = (AccountModel) accountDAO.getAccount(id)

How do I do this in a scala app?

I tried this: retVal.asInstanceOf(AccountModel) but it doesn’t seem to like that

Answer 1

You’re almost there. It’s retVal.asInstanceOf[AccountModel] (note the square brackets).
