Convert from scala.collection.Seq<String> to java.util.List<String> in Java code

Asked 2013-07-19T03:27:09.343

I'm calling a Scala method, from Java. And I need to make the conversion from Seq to List.

I can't modified the signature of the Scala method, so I can't used the asJavaCollection method from scala.collection.JavaConversions._

Any ideas of how can I achieve this?

Using Scala 2.9.3

Since Scala 2.9, you shouldn't use implicits from JavaConversions since they are deprecated and will soon be removed. Instead, to convert Seq into java List use convert package like this (although it doesn't look very nice):

import scala.collection.convert.WrapAsJava$;

public class Test {
    java.util.List<String> convert(scala.collection.Seq<String> seq) {
        return WrapAsJava$.MODULE$.seqAsJavaList(seq);
    }
}
