I have a scala Enumeration like this.
object WeekDay extends Enumeration {
type WeekDay = Value
val Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun = Value
}
How can I use the class in Java?
public WeekDay getWeekDay() {
return WeekDay.withName(this.myWeekDay);
}
It throws an error:
[error] required: WeekDay
[error] found: Enumeration.Value
As the error tells you, the type of a Scala's Enumeration members' is actually Value. So:
import scala.Enumeration.Value;
//...
public Value getWeekDay() {
return WeekDay.withName(this.myWeekDay);
}
Unfortunately, Scala type aliases are not visible from Java code, so you can't use your WeekDay.WeekDay here.
Enumeration is in Scala's standard library and hence is auto-imported).blah) and the appropriate package folder (e.g. app/blah), the compiler works as it should - both in Scala and Java projects. I suggest you ask a new question about why this is the case, since there's obviously something missing in the Play docs.
