[Java-gnome-developer] using inherited methods in glade signal handlers

[Lars W. <la...@di...>]

Hi all,

is it not possible to call inherited methods in signal handlers
specified in glade?  For example, if I have a class Frame with a method
doClose() and an instance of the class Preferences that inherits from
Frame and acts as the owner of a glade-generated preferences window, is
it not possible for me to specify doClose() as the handler for a signal
in glade?

Currently, when I try to do something like the above, I get the
following:

        ListenerDelegate.fireEvent(org.gnu.gtk.event.ButtonEvent[source=org.gnu.gtk.Button@1bdc9d8,id=CLICK]): java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.gnu.glade.ListenerDelegate can not access a member of class org.zentren.zinfo.ui.Frame with modifiers "public"
        java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class
        org.gnu.glade.ListenerDelegate can not access a member of class
        org.zentren.zinfo.ui.Frame with modifiers "public"

        sun.reflect.Reflection.ensureMemberAccess(Reflection.java:65)

        	at
        org.gnu.glade.ListenerDelegate.fireEvent(ListenerDelegate.java:88)
        	at
        org.gnu.glade.ListenerDelegate.fireEvent(ListenerDelegate.java:60)
        	at
        org.gnu.glade.ButtonDelegate.buttonEvent(ButtonDelegate.java:20)
        	at org.gnu.gtk.Button.fireButtonEvent(Button.java:306)
        	at org.gnu.gtk.Button.handleClick(Button.java:316)
        	at org.gnu.gtk.Gtk.gtk_main(Native Method)
        	at org.gnu.gtk.Gtk.main(Gtk.java:54)
        	at org.zentren.zinfo.ui.Viewer.main(Viewer.java:55)
        params:[Ljava.lang.Object;@1a918d5, ret:null
        
Is there a nice way around this problem or do I need to provide methods
like:

        public void doClose() {
          super.doClose();
        }
        
?

Lars
