Hi,
I'm a university student and I'm working to a project not really related to
JRuby
and Ruby language but I'm still interested in some details about the JRuby
internal design.
In particual I would like to understand how the JRuby interpreter loads the
external java classes stored as bytecode and used them during the evaluation of
the rest of
the code.
I tried to look at the source code (of version 1.4) shoortly by myself and I
figure
out that the code that manages this kind of operations should be located
in the javasupport package.
For what I could understand, in order to load an external java class the
interpreter simply uses a dynamic class loader and the reflection
package provided by the standard Java API.
The loaded class is wrap in a proxy to interact with the other ruby
modules.
Could you please give me some more information about this specic JRuby
implementation aspect.
Maybe just some hints to help me in the exploration of the source code.
Thank you very much.
Davide Poletti.
