[Jython-users] Getting Java interface information from a Java class in Jython

[Bill W. <wp...@gm...>]

Good morning,

I'm using Jython 2.2a1 to do some client-side testing of a J2EE
application on a somewhat more obscure J2EE application server.  In
Jython, I am able to obtain an object from JNDI and call methods on it
in Jython, very nicely, thank you very much.  However, when I try to
turn that Jython code into some server-side Java code, I'm running
into a problem.  In Jython, I can look at the class (using "<object
name>.__class__"), as well as getting method and variable information
about the class (using "dir(<object name>.__class__)"), but the actual
Java class that is listed is an 'Impl' class.

In order to use this object in Java, I need to know what interface to
cast it to.  The application server is not well documented in this
area, and I'm having trouble finding out what the Java interface is.=20
Is there any way in Jython to obtain the interface(s) that class
implements?  Or should I use the Java reflection classes to get it?

TIA,
- Bill
