I am trying to use a Java library that uses annotations on Java classes and methods, so I pass to it deftypes with annotated methods. Some of the annotations require using integer parameters and it seems there is no convenient way to do this in Clojure. The code I am trying is something like this:
(deftype SomeType []
(^{Retention RetentionPolicy/RUNTIME
SomeAnnotationClass {:order 1} }
someMethod [_]...))
The :order 1 part causes an exception:
Incorrectly typed data found for annotation element ... (Found data of type java.lang.Long[1])
This happens because the java library expects that :order would have a java.lang.Integer value, but Clojure creates a java.lang.Long. If I try (int 1) instead of 1, I get another exception.
I asked for help on clojurians Slack, and it was suggested that I use #java.lang.Integer[1] instead of simply 1. This works, but it would be nice to have a more intuitive way to do this.
