Supplying "Class" type as a parameter to a method in Scala

Question

I am exploring Scala by rewriting some of my Java code with it. In one of the Java method, I need to pass a class type as a parameter:

public void setType(Class<T> type)

In Java, I could do it by:

someobj.setType( MyClass.class )

But in Scala, I can't seem to call "MyClass.class". I am wondering how I can pass the parameter in Scala?

Answer 1

You're after classOf[MyClass].
