He said you can't use (apply Article. constructor-arg seq-of-constructor-args) and he's right -- you can't (apply Class. ...) or (apply .method object ...). But you *can* (defn function [x] (Class. x)) and you *can* then (apply function seq-of-constructor-args). That *should* work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
