Googled and asked on the IRC channel, but I can't find a solution. Maybe
someone here can help :)
I'm trying to generate nested/inner classes with gen-class. I can't just
write the classes in Java because I'm generating them off of data
structures declared in Clojure. For context, I'm taking an Avro schema
with arbitrarily nested records and building a Java API for working with
objects to be (de-)serialized. I can hack around the problem by generating
a bunch of classes at the top level, but since the nested records aren't
needed elsewhere, inner classes make the most sense.
Basically, I have this:
{:name "foo.Bar"
:type "record"
:fields [
{:name "Baz"
:type "record"
:fields [
{:name "quux"
:type "int"}]}]}
and I want to walk it and generate a class that can be used as if it were
written in Java as:
package foo;
public class Bar {
class Baz {
private int quux;
public int getQuux() {
return quux;
}
public void setQuux(int quux) {
this.quux = quux;
}
}
private Baz baz;
public Bar() {
this.baz = new Baz();
}
public Baz getBaz() {
return baz;
}
public void setBaz(Baz baz) {
this.baz = baz;
}
}
I can do this except for the inner class bit (I would really like to load
the class immediately, but gen-and-load-class seems to have disappeared
leaving only gen-class :-/ ) I can generate foo.Bar and foo.BarBaz, but
that seems awkward and unnecessary if I could generate the inner class.
This seems to compile in a file by itself:
(gen-class 'foo.Bar$Baz
; ... stuff ... )
But when another file references it:
(ns whatever
(:import foo.Bar$Baz))
clojure asplodes, even when manually AOT compiling the files in order.
Any solution?
Thanks!
