Professor Lee pointed out that it is difficult to access the fields of a parent class from within Tcl Blend I'm a little tired, but it seems like it should be possible to access all the fields in a derived class with out resorting to java::cast The example below is from Tcl Blend 1.1 with JDK1.1.6 under Solaris2.5.1 cxh@carson 11% cat Foo.java cxh@carson: Command not found cxh@carson 12% cat Foo.java public class Foo { public double afield; } cxh@carson 13% cat Bar.java public class Bar extends Foo { } cxh@carson 14% javac Foo.java Bar.java cxh@carson 15% tclsh % package require java 1.1 % set java::jdkVersion 1.1.6 % set bar [java::new Bar] java0x1 % java::info fields $bar afield % java::field $bar afield field "afield" doesn't exist % java::field [java::cast Foo $bar] afield 0.0 % Is there an easier way to access the afield field? -Christopher ---------------------------------------------------------------- The TclJava mailing list is sponsored by WebNet Technologies.
