I was just clarifying that the *almost* I think only is ArrayResize(). I think the initialization technique you just commented on is a great idea. I didn't realize that you could init with a size. Thanks for the hot tip! Word up, I didn’t mean to come off sounding attacking. I was just clarifying that the *almost* I think only is ArrayResize().

You can do the same thing for the ArrayList that you created. <br />So you can use<br /><br /><cfset myarr = CreateObject("java", "java.util.ArrayList").init(1000)><br /><cfset myarr.addAll(x)><br /><cfset x = myarr> Most of the time, you would call resize pretty much soon after creating the array when you know that your array is going to store this many element.

So you can use

<cfset myarr = CreateObject(”java”, “java.util.ArrayList”).init(1000)>
<cfset myarr.addAll(x)>
<cfset x = myarr>

Passing the array by value does seem like a limitation. I like the stuff you have above... but be careful, if memory serves, this works on 99% of things, but bombs for ArrayResize(). But other than that, this is good solution. Rupesh, I agree. Passing the array by value does seem like a limitation.
