Question

I want to do something like this in Groovy:

List<MyObject> list1 = getAList(); 

How can I assign a list to other list in groovy without having to iterate through the list I want to assign?

Answer 1

That will work as you have it (assuming getAList returns a List)…

Or do you mean you want a new list containing the same elements as the list returned?

If that’s the case, you can do

List<MyObject> list1 = getAList().collect()

Or

List<MyObject> list1 = new ArrayList<MyObject>( getAList() )
