RE: [Jython-users] toString

[Bryan W. <Bry...@wa...>]

in the documentation, Class.toString() takes no parameters, so how is it
accepting the interger?

	It's probably being resolved as java.lang.Class.toString.
	java.lang.Class.toString(10) return '10'.  MyClass is an
	instance of Class.

		i saw  a faq on the internet about this issue, but i
still don't understand it, so i hope someone here can explain it to me.
i'm calling a class that has a static method=20
		=20
		class MyClass {
		    public String toString(int) {
		    }
		}
		=20
		i'm unable to call this method from jython using the
direct normal  method.
		=20
		s =3D mypackage.MyClass.toString(10)
		=20
		when i do call this method, it prints out the string
'10' instead of the string of returned my MyClass.toString.  the faq i
read said something about jython prefering to call instance methods
which the Class object has.  but the Class object doesn't have a
toString method that takes an int parameter, so i'm confused about this.
the int value was passed into some method, but which one?  i know there
is a workaround to this by getting the toString attribute from MyCLass
explicitly then invoking the method, but i was curious what exactly is
going on here.
