Re: [jruby-dev] Proposal for new Java dispatch rules

We will brainstorm on this one a bit, but if we can make all Ruby core types aware of common "it should work" Java types then we may not have an actual need for explicit coercion. For example, if RubyFixnum.op_plus(...) accepts a version which works with java.lang.Number (and subtypes) then thin

[jruby-dev] Re: Proposal for new Java dispatch rules

Here's a description of the logic as it currently exists. Java methods are pulled out of java.lang.Class and stuffed into the proxy class in arity-specific groups. This means when calling with N arguments, we only look for methods that take N arguments (hence the missing varargs support). If you

[jruby-dev] Proposal for new Java dispatch rules

Ok, we've been batting this around a bit and I wanted to write up some doco on it. We're going to try to formalize Java dispatch for 1.4, so there's an official definition of how it's supposed to work. This should also finally address problematic dispatch cases like varargs and numeric overloads.
