Hello, For one java class (Hello) i use another (HelloPrinter) to build the string representation of the first one. When i've tried to use this from within jython, HelloPrinter.toString(hello) call gives results like Object.toString() of hello has being called. The example below shows this behaviour. Could somebody explain this?
// Hello.java package jythontest; public class Hello { private String name; public Hello(String name) { this.name = name; } public String sayHello() { return "Hello, "+name; } } // HelloPrinter.java package jythontest; public class HelloPrinter { public static String toString(Hello h) { return h.sayHello(); } public static String toMyString(Hello h) { return h.sayHello(); } } # calljava.py from jythontest import * h = Hello("theName") print h print HelloPrinter.toString(h) print HelloPrinter.toMyString(h) OUTPUT: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // GOOD [EMAIL PROTECTED] // WRONG Hello, theName // GOOD Jython 2.1 on java (JIT: null) java version "1.5.0_03" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_03-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_03-b07, mixed mode) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
