[Jython-users] "self.super_foo()" call style?

[Bill K. <bi...@ct...>]

Hi,

I'm writing Swing code and need to provide my own paintComponent() 
method, which is required to invoke super.paintComponent() in most
cases (see
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/converting/generaltips.html
"Converting Painting Code") - but paintComponent() is a protected
method of JComponent, and I'm unable to invoke it from my jython
paintComponent method.  I see in the jython docs on subclassing:

Calling Methods in Your Superclass

  In Python, if I want to call the foo method in my superclass,
  I use the form: SuperClass.foo(self)

  This works with the majority of methods, but protected methods
  cannot be called from subclasses in this way. Instead you have
  to use the "self.super_foo()" call style. 


Could someone post an example of this call style?  I've tried
a couple things: self.super_paintComponent() and 
self.JPanel_paintComponent() but no luck with either.  (JPanel
being my direct superclass.)

Thanks for your help,

Bill
