I am writing a function like this:

def contractXML[T](element:T):Elem = {
      element match {
        case element:Contract => <element> ABC </element>
    ......

How do I make the tag take in the element value from the parameter passed to contractXML function rather than just literally print just 

<element>

?

Currently, it gives the error:

not found: value <

  • I don't understand the question. What do you refer to with "tag"? If I take <element> ABC </element>, this is legal Scala code and compiles fine, so if you get not found: value <, you must be doing something different from what you pasted above... Commented Dec 9, 2013 at 11:27
  • I do not want it to take the string 'element' literally. I want it to take the value of the element and make an XML tag out of it. Commented Dec 9, 2013 at 11:30
  • You will to specify type Contract actually is. Does it convert to a string? Commented Dec 9, 2013 at 12:01
