[Jython-users] Class casting ....

[Alan L. <al...@li...>]

I apologize ahead of time if this is an RTFM thing (or I'm just dumb) but
....

I'm given some Java classes (sadly not in source) . Lets say I have class J
and I subclass it in Jython:

class P(J):
        ...........

amongst the Java is a class that has getter and setter classes of type J:

public class J2 {
    .. public J getJ() {
       }

       public void setJ(J j) {
       }
}


Now, of course, in Java I can setJ(p)  and cast:  (P)getJ() to get a P back.
In Jython however I always
get a J back from getJ() and I would seem to have no way of 'casting' it up
to my Python subclass.

Am I missing something purely obvious here ??

Thanks for JYthon -- as a long-time Python fan I am in hog heaven with this
stuff ..
