byte array in groovy

Question

in java I can create byte array: byte[] array = new byte[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; but this construct is invalid in groovy. How I can create byte array in groovy ?

The following should suffice:

def array = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] as byte[]

Have a look here for more details on arrays in groovy.

In addition to rich.okelly's answer,

byte[] array = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

works as well

You can't initialize a literal array the same way because Groovy thinks the curly brackets form a closure. What you want is something like

def x = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ] as byte[]
