Btw, the ABM toolkit Swarm, being based on Objective C (which uses
dynamic binding of messages to methods) has no trouble providing Java
with completely dynamic messaging (in the example below, `forEach').
Note that ObjectInterface is not conformed-to by Object[12].
import swarm.Globals;
import swarm.Selector;
import swarm.collections.ListImpl;
import swarm.collections.List;
class Object1 {
public void ping () {
System.out.println ("object 1");
}
}
class Object2 {
public void ping () {
System.out.println ("object 2");
}
}
interface ObjectInterface {
public void ping ();
}
public class TestSelector
{
public static void main (String[] args) {
Globals.env.initSwarm ("selector", "0.0", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
args);
List l = new ListImpl (Globals.env.globalZone);
l.addLast (new Object1 ());
l.addLast (new Object2 ());
Selector sel = null;
try {
sel = new Selector (ObjectInterface.class, "ping", false);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println ("Can't find selector");
}
l.forEach (sel);
}
}
