#49 Generated methods differ only by their return type

[Gili Tzabari]

Hi,

AutoProxy has a bug generating header for Writer. I
have attached the autogenerated Writer.h; notice that

::jace::proxy::java::io::Writer append(
::jace::proxy::types::JChar p0 );

and

::jace::proxy::java::lang::Appendable append(
::jace::proxy::types::JChar p0 );

differ only by their return type.

This issue is JDK 1.5 specific; if you using JDK 1.4.1 the
problem does not occur.

I would like to point out this issue is critical. Unless it
is fixed it is impossible to use JACE under JDK 1.5.

Hi Gili,

Yes, this is a bug. It is the result of the way JDK1.5 handles
methods with covariant return types. You should be able to
fix this by add the following lines of code:

// Skip the method if it is a BRIDGE method
if ( ( flagSet.getValue() & 0x0040 ) != 0 ) {
return true;
}

to ProxyGenerator.shouldBeSkipped:1893. You can also just
temporarily comment out one of the methods.

This will be fixed in the next release of Jace.

God bless,
