calling scheme procedure from java and passing a list as argument...

[Damien Mattei]

hello again,
suppose i have a java code (the case is running on tomcat web server but
that's make no difference)
and i want to pass a list to a scheme routine, i have two questions:
-is there a way to call a scheme procedure in kawa,i suppose the answer
is yes but how?
( i know i can do it making a method in a kawa class definition and call
the method)
- but how can i pass a list as parameter, what is the equivalent of
scheme list in java or kawa??
I would greatly appre"ciate a little example...

thanks
Damien

This page talks about *evaluating* Scheme from Java:

http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Evaluating-Scheme-expressions-from-Java.html

If you have a Scheme Proecdure object you can call by using one of the
apply methods.  For example:

    Object[] args = {x, y};
    Object result = myProc.applyN(args);
or:
   Object result = myProc.apply2(x, y);

To create a list you can use one of the static methods in gnu..lists.LList,
like makeList or list1 ... list4.

It's usually best to do as much as you can in Scheme: It is easier (and
better documented with a more stable API) calling Java from Scheme
than calling Scheme from Java.

unfortunalely this is a java project including scheme,not the reverse,
i tried to use list2 in this example but it complains that
gnu.lists.LList is not a pair,
in scheme a list is a pair.
i have this error:
Exception in thread "main" Argument #1 '(. #<not a pair>)' to 'car' has
wrong type (gnu.lists.LList) (gnu.lists.LList cannot be cast to
gnu.lists.Pair)
        at Vector2D.plus(Vector2D.scm:28)
        at helloworld.main(helloworld.java:30)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: gnu.lists.LList cannot be cast
to gnu.lists.Pair
        ... 2 more
when i try to run this code:

    LList glst = new LList();
    glst.list2(2,3);
    Object result = vec.plus(glst);

on this method definition in Vector2D class:
((plus L) ::int
   (+ (car L) (cadr L)))

this is of course for testing before doing serious work...

finally i understand my error,result of many years without coding in java...

here is the solution:

    LList glst = new LList();
    //glst = glst.list2(2,3); // works also
    glst = LList.list2(2,3);
    System.out.println("glst : "+glst);
    Object result0 = vec.plus(glst);
    System.out.println("result0 :"+result0);


    Pair pair = new Pair(2, LList.Empty);
    Pair pair2 = new Pair(3, pair);
    LList glst2 = new LList();
    glst2 = pair2;
    System.out.println("glst2 : "+glst2);
    Object result = vec.plus(glst2);
    System.out.println("result : "+result);

and the result:

glst : (2 3)
result0 :5
glst2 : (3 2)
result : 5
