To make a long story short: I have always adhered to the Java rules for the

protected members of a
Java class that are accessed via instances of subclasses (maybe even created
for ooRexx on the fly
at runtime) in order to adhere to the Java model as close as possible. So the
classic Java
reflection (BSF4Rexx the initial Rexx-Java bridge worked even with Java 1.1.8,

mechanism is really at the heart of this implementation, hence the question.
You still haven't explained in detail why you have to invoke
.setAccessible(true) on a Method object to invoke a protected method
from a subclass. This should not be needed.
