JSNI: JsArray<JsArrayNumber> type signature

Question

My JavaScript code gives me an array of arrays of float values:

var serverData = new Array();
var fArray = new Array();
// .. calc mx and my here
fArray.push(mx);
fArray.push(my);
this.serverData.push(fArray);

var out = window.letServerWork(this.serverData);

which I want to work with on the server. this.serverData will look something like this:

{ 

0:  0: 1.123
    1: 1.459

1:  0: 0.543
    1: 1.679

2:  0: 1.157
    1: 0.987
}

Therefore I need to know the right signature for this call. This here:

  public static native void exportDoLinearRegression() /*-{ 
        $wnd.letServerWork = $entry(@ew.server.algorithm.LinearRegression::doLinearRegression(Lcom/google/gwt/core/client/JsArray<Lcom/google/gwt/core/client/JsArrayNumber;>;));
  }-*/;

is wrong, but it should look something like this. Does anybody know how the signature has to look like so that this works?

Thank you!

It turned out, that it's not necessary to tell about the generic type. The GWT compiler is happy if it knows that there will be a JsArray. The Java function then defines the generic type. This is how it worked for me:

  public static String doLinearRegression(JsArray<JsArrayNumber> points) {

    for(int i = 0; i < points.length(); i++) {
      System.out.println(points.get(i).get(0) + " " +  points.get(i).get(1));
      // do stuff
    }
    return result;
  }

  public static native void exportDoLinearRegression() /*-{ 
        $wnd.letServerWork = $entry(@ew.server.algorithm.LinearRegression::doLinearRegression(Lcom/google/gwt/core/client/JsArray;));
  }-*/;
