[Jython-users] Multiple return types

[Sebastien P. <Seb...@is...>]

Hi there!

I'm facing a problem: I have a class (XMLDocument) which extends and
implements javax.swing.text.Document. I have another class (XMLElement)
which extends org.jdom.Element and implements javax.swing.text.Element.

Well, in the XMLElement class I've got a getDocument() method that
returns in one case a javax.swing.text.Document and in the other case a
javax.swing.text.Document. Basically returning an XMLDocument should do
the trick as it can be casted to both types.

The problem is that jython uses intermediary Java code which chokes on
this problem. Does anybody see any solution ?

Cheers,
