I believe the first parameter must be "this", only in the case of methods . The init function doesn't take a "this" parameter.
Here's an example of my problem, MyDerivedClass is a subclass of Thread. This doesn't work, because "this" actually refers to the first argument passed to the constructor. It does not refer to the object itself. (ns test) (gen-class :name test.MyDerivedClass :extends Thread :init init) (defn -init [this] ;The following line doesn't work. ;I need to call setName on this object ;who's reference is not available yet. (println this) (. this setName "my derived class") ;Superclass constructor [[] nil]) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
