How can I call a java static method in clojure?

Question

I wish to call class on the String class. How can I access this static method?

Answer 1

Your question has been answered, I think, but if you really do want to get the class of an unknown object, you can use the class function:

> (class "Foo")
java.lang.String

As in java, to specify classes outside of java.lang as literals, you need to either import them, or specify the full package + class name using dot (.) separators.
