Re: [jruby-dev] A real Java integration enhancement need: null casting

Is the problem here that you can't cast to null with the correct type, or you just can't invoke the correct override? I'm thinking it's override selection. All of the null casting suggestions seem great if you know that you have nil, but typically we have a variable which may or may not be

How about adding NilClass#as(class)? This is much less likely to cause name collisions. We have the same issue with IronRuby, and this is the solution we are favoring currently. obj.doSomething(nil.as(Component), 0) ~Jimmy On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 9:33 AM, Martin McNulty wrote: > HashMap.null >

HashMap.null Doesn't use 'nil', but then I guess it is a Java null you're passing into the method... Handily can't conflict with a Java field name. I have almost no idea of how this would be implemented though, so perhaps this suggestion's a really bad one ;) Martin 2009/8/6 Thomas E Enebo : >

[jruby-dev] A real Java integration enhancement need: null casting

This is an important one: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3865 It's definitely not a hypothetical situation, and I have had this come up a few times myself. Perhaps we can have some discussion here or on the bug about what our casting syntax should look like? - Charlie ---
