java.lang.boolean,java.lang.Boolean的到scala.Boolean问题

georgii@gleontiev:~$ scala

Welcome to Scala version 2.8.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_24).

Type in expressions to have them evaluated.

Type :help for more information.

scala> val jbool = java.lang.Boolean.TRUE

jbool: java.lang.Boolean = true

scala> val sbool = true

sbool: Boolean = true

scala> def sboolMethod(sbool: Boolean) = print("got scala.Boolean " + sbool)

sboolMethod: (sbool: Boolean)Unit

scala> sboolMethod(sbool)

got scala.Boolean true

scala> sboolMethod(jbool)

:9: error: type mismatch;

found : java.lang.Boolean

required: scala.Boolean

sboolMethod(jbool)

^

scala> implicit def jbool2sbool(bool: java.lang.Boolean): scala.Boolean = bool.booleanValue

jbool2sbool: (bool: java.lang.Boolean)Boolean

scala> sboolMethod(jbool)

got scala.Boolean true

The question is: why isn't there a default implicit conversion from java.lang.Boolean to scala.Boolean? The question also stands for java.lang.Long vs scala.Long and probably other standard types (haven't tried all of them).

解决方案

In 2.9, there is such a conversion, presumably to aid interoperability with Java. (Scala doesn't need it on its own, because it transparently boxes and unboxes primitives, which is perhaps why it wasn't included earlier.)
