<h3>Java Arrays in Jython - JArray</h3>

Many Java methods require Java array objects as arguments.  The way
that these arguments are used means that they must correspond to
fixed-length, mutable sequences, sometimes of primitive data types.
The PyArray class is added to support these Java arrays and instances
of this class will be automatically returned from any Java method call
that produces an array.  In addition, the "jarray" module is provided
to allow users of Jython to create these arrays themselves, primarily
for the purpose of passing them to a Java method.

<P>The jarray module exports two functions:

<blockquote><pre>
array(sequence, type)
zeros(length, type)
</pre></blockquote>

<P>array will create a new array of the same length as the input
sequence and will populate it with the values in sequence.  zeros will
create a new array of the given length filled with zeros (or null's if
appropriate).

<P>type can either be a single character typecode (using the same mappings
as Python's array module) or it can be an instance of a JavaClass object.
The valid typecodes are shown in the following table:

<p><TABLE BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="50%">

    <TH>Corresponding Java Type</TH>

<h3>Example</h3>

<PRE>
>>> from jarray import zeros, array
>>> array([1,2,3], 'd')
array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], double)
>>> zeros(3, 'f')
array([0.0, 0.0, 0.0], float)
>>> from java.util import Hashtable
>>> array([Hashtable(), Hashtable()], Hashtable)
array([&lt;java.util.Hashtable instance at 2045730>, &lt;java.util.Hashtable instance at 2045714>], java.util.Hashtable)
>>> zeros(5, Hashtable)
array([None, None, None, None, None], java.util.Hashtable)
</PRE>

This example show how to create an array of three specific doubles, a
length-three array of floats, an array of two specific instance of
java.util.Hashtable, and an empty array of java.util.Hashtable's.
