In a project using clojure.java.jmx, I was extending it's Destract protocol object->data function to transform more of the JMX data structures returned from calls or metadata queries into plain clojure data structures. When I was done with the individual data structures, it should have been possible to do a (walk/prewalk jmx/objects->data (jmx/operations "java.lang:type=Threading")).
However, in the Destract protocol there's an implementation of the objects->data function for the type clojure.lang.Associative that would mean maps would be processed incorrectly. I could add an implementation for clojure.lang.IPersistentMap in my namespace, but since clojure.lang.Associative is also an interface for maps this would not work, and I ended up having to fork clojure.java.jmx because of it. If there would be a way to retract a protocol for a type within another namespace I wouldn't have had to. Is there such a way, or would it even be feasible to implement something like it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
