[Jython-users] Jython class factory?

[David C. <dav...@gm...>]

I am currently using the object-factory technique: I instantiate a Jython
object that implements a Java interface and then call __tojava__() and use
the retuned object in my Java code.

However, the only thing I do with the object returned from __tojava__() in
this case is call getClass(). So, the instantiation step seems
wasteful/awkward/misleading. I wonder, is it possible to skip the
instantiation step and return a Java *class* rather than a Java *object*?

I tried some things, but this area of Jython is pure magic to me.

Thanks,
David
