[Jython-bugs] [issue1387] Dynamic compilation and failure of inheritance

[Kay S. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Kay Schluehr <ka...@fi...>:

It is not possible to inherit from a dynamically compiled Java class (
using the Java 6 Compiler API ) which wasn't previously dumped to a file
and reloaded.

In order to reproduce the failure case one needs the following Jython module

http://www.fiber-space.de/misc/jcompile.py

It defines the function

createJavaClass(classname : str, code : str ) -> type

which keeps a classname and a Java source string and returns a new
Jython class which wraps the compiled and loaded Java class. The
following code is an example:

code = '''
public class Foo
{
    public static int f(int i)
    {
        return i*3;
    }
}'''

Foo = createJavaClass("Foo", code)

The result is a new Jython class Foo that works as expected:

print Foo    #  <type 'Foo'>
Foo.f(5)     #  = 15

However, if one intends to subclass Foo one gets following exception

class Bar(Foo): pass

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\lang\Jython\jannotations.py", line 185, in <module>
