Re: Obtaining a reference to a mailet

[Aaron Knauf]

This thread worries me. Mailets and Matchers are completely decoupled, at the moment. Giving a Matcher a reference to its Mailet (or vice versa) will lead to the coupling of the two. We will end up with Mailets that only work with a particuler Matcher.

What is the benefit that you are after? Is it really worth making this sacrifice for? Isn't there another way to achieve it?

You're correct my question is weird. I should have double checked.
I meant to say: Is there a way that my *matcher* can obtain a reference to
its coupled mailet?

Sorry about the typo...

Hi Mark,

The question seems weird... basic Java (all objects, not just mailets)
gives you a 'this' reference which is a reference to your object from
within... maybe you're asking a different question?

When my custom mailet/matcher pair are instantiated and initialized,
is there a way for my mailet to obtain a reference to the mailet?

And, if not at initialization time, can i obtain a reference at run

time?

Thanks,
