I have a Tcl script text file that looks something this: proc my_proc {arg1 arg2 ...} { ... variable x set x $arg2 ... } The script is loaded (sourced) into the interpreter upon program startup. arg2 is supposed to contains a script to be invoked later in a fileevent handler such as {command arg arg ...}. All this works fine if "arg2" is a "normal" Tcl script. Then I want to pass in a Java command with some Java object arguments to "arg2" so that a Java method is invoked in the callback. So I call my_proc from within Java using a TclList as the 2nd argument and wrap all my Java objects inside TclObject's. When the interpreter executes "set x $arg2" part of the Tcl script, it no longer has the original list. Inside a debugger, I can see that the arg2 contains a string representation of the TclList I passed in. My conclusion is that the C version Tcl interpreter is very liberal about interchanging the string presentation and real object representation. For example, if you have a TclList, and you called "TclList.toString()" followed by "eval(TclList)". The native Tcl code will use the string version of your TclList rather than the real list object. I wonder how Jacl behaves in similar situation. -- Jiang Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- The TclJava mailing list is sponsored by Scriptics Corporation.
