[Jython-dev] AttributeError after sys.path.append

[Frank C. <fc...@pu...>]

I am having a problem accessing a Java class from Jython. The class is in a
package named: net.testnet

Here's the class:

package net.testnet;
public class testit{
    public testit() { System.out.println("I'm ready"); }
    public String drinkme() { return "That was good."; }
}

I compile testit and put it into testnetwork.jar. I DO NOT put
testnetwork.jar onto the classpath when running Jython. I need Jython to
recognize a jar file after Jython starts running.

From the Jython 2.1 interpreter I run these commands:

import sys
sys.path.append('e:\\testnetwork\\lib\\testnetwork.jar')
import net
print dir(net.testnet)

['__name__', 'testit']

a=net.testnet.testit()

AttributeError: java package 'net.testnet' has no attribute 'testit'

Jython does not throw this AttributeError when testnetwork.jar IS on the
classpath. The a object is instantiated correctly.

Any ideas what is going wrong?
