Hi! I'm repeating a part of the code. This problem would not happen if I could pass a function as parameter or use yield like in Ruby.

Is there a way to simulate closures in Java?

Thank you.

Not currently. Closures were brought up for Java 7, but it was decided to not include them. Groovy supports closures, if you really need them.

Sounds like what you really need is dependency injection.

If you read some recent articles, in the latest build of JDK 7, the JVM already supports Closures. Take a look at this and this.

I recently read that inner classes can be used to implement closures and callbacks.
