How to use the pygw.config.java_pkg.java.util.ArrayList function in pygw

def _invoke_filter_list_method_by_name(j_filter_factory, name, filters):
    filter_factory_class = j_filter_factory.getClass()
    list_class = reflection_util.classForName("java.util.List")
    class_array = java_gateway.new_array(java_pkg.java.lang.Class, 1)
    class_array[0] = list_class
    method = filter_factory_class.getMethod(name, class_array)
    filter_list = java_pkg.java.util.ArrayList()
    for filter in filters:
        filter_list.append(filter)
    objects_array = java_gateway.new_array(java_pkg.java.lang.Object, 1)
    objects_array[0] = filter_list
    return method.invoke(j_filter_factory, objects_array)
