I am using beanshell and i want to use arraylist

My code -

import java.util.*; 

List test= new ArrayList();
test.add("Last Name");

But I am getting following exception

Caused by: org.apache.bsf.BSFException: BeanShell script error:Typed variable declaration : 
Attempt to resolve method: add() on undefined variable or class name: test: at Line: 206

Any idea what is causing the problem?

Thanks

• java
• javascript

Try ArrayList test = new ArrayList(); That worked fine for me. Guess that the BeanShell doesn't work with polymorphism.

You need to define the type of the ArrayList. Here, you would do it like this:

List<String> test = new ArrayList<String>();
