I ask this because in my efforts to decompile a webobjects
application from circa 2002 or 2003 I've encountered more errors
than I care to deal and then I had an idea. If I could compile one
java file, the only one I actually need to change, via commandline
and swap the resulting .class files would the associated WO file be
able to use it?
Yes, if you don't change the API.
Or, is something done behind the scenes that I'm not readily able to
see that connects the method calls in the WO to the methods in the
java and .class file?
No, it is just done by name and visibility.
I realize I would need the same jdk but I'll attack that hurdle next
if this is a plausible solution.
Thanks for any help or ray of hope you may be able to provide.
Hope that helps. If you get extra desperate, you could get all
medieval on it: http://www.csg.is.titech.ac.jp/~chiba/javassist/
