While changing BSF4ooRexx to not depend on .local anymore I ran into a
situation which I do not
quite understand: it seems that FindClass() is not able to find a class which
is available in the
Rexx program via a requires directive, but not in a native function that gets
invoked from that Rexx
program. I was expecting that the context of the Rexx program will be available
to the native code
with access to all public classes that got required in the Rexx program as well.
To sketch the situation:
* the class object BSF is not put into .local anymore
* "test.rex" requires "BSF.CLS" and uses its routines and classes to create
proxies to Java
objects: for such proxies the class BSF or one of its subclasses like
BSF_REFERENCE gets employed
* after creating references to Java objects a native call from "test.rex"
occurs: in the native
code the Rexx arguments get tested whether they are instances of BSF using
IsOfType(), which
does not work; studying the documentation of IsOfType() I turned to
FindClass() to see whether
the class BSF gets found and it does not.
Does FindClass() look up all of the Rexx packages that got required up to that
point in the Rexx
program that is the source of the native call or only .local and .environment?
If not, is there another native function which would search the public classes
in the package no
matter which context interface one uses like FindClass(), i.e. theThread
Context Interface, Method
Context Interface, Call Context Interface, or the Exit Context Interface?
