It can't be moved into the after command. You don't need to 'unset' if you just put the whole thing inside a proc. Any local or temporary Java reflect objects in Tcl can be converted to its string form inside some script. Your Java object is GC'ed while the string reference the object is still being used. In TclBlend, this is a major problem that I am avoiding the reflection mechanism entirely. > The real issue here is that Tcl does not have any support for > a "locking down" the internal rep of an object.

Well, there are things like file handles, which are locked down. set x [file open foo] fileevent $x readable "read $x" unset x will not remove the file handle. -- Jiang Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- The TclJava mailing list is sponsored by Scriptics Corporation.
