RE: [Jython-dev] Re: Problem calling protected method

[Garcia, M. <mg...@Bu...>]

Thanks for your advice.  For my purposes (writing an EJB test client) I
think I'll just leave the respectJavaAccessibility to false even though this
may not be the preferred technique.  

In the future I'll try to keep the setting to true by using this technique.
Can I find any documentation at SourceForge pertaining to Jython's handling
of private and protected members?

thanks again.
sincerely,
Michael

Or use the lazy way, avoid the abstract class, and inherit from
GregorianCalendar, i.e.-

>>>from java.util import GregorianCalendar
>>>class myTime(GregorianCalendar):
...	def ms(self):
...		return self.getTimeInMillis()
...
>>>t = test()
>>>t.ms()
978997877490L
>>>

If you still have respectJavaAccessibility = true, you can confirm
protected status with:

>>>g = GregorianCalendar()
>>>g.getTimeInMillis()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: getTimeInMillis


(I actually sent this earlier, but received an service unavailable
error- 
I apologize if I'm repeating myself...again :)

cheers,
