Yes, ofcource. You can use ArrayList. The only trouble with that is that WORepetition and other WO* elements does not take Collections for their bindingelements. Maybe in WO6? :)

Are you sure? I'd try this out, actually. I was surprised to note at one point that WORepetition _did_ take Object[] arrays, even though it's not documented to. I don't know enough about 'standard' Java to even know what an ArrayList is, but it's possible that WORepetition accepts it, undocumented.


Still, Kaj is right that you're probably better off using NSArrays and NSDictionaries for your collections in WO, since that's generally what the WO framework wants to work with. But if you really insist upon using 'standard' Java collections of various kinds, you can probably make it work, with extra effort and experimentation, and acceptance of the fact that you're sometimes going to have to convert it into an NSArray or NSDictionary for some framework method.

My last email contained a serious error. NSMutableArray can't contain primitives. Sorry about that!
