[Jython-users] java.lang.String becomes PyString

[Edward P. <epo...@te...>]

Does Jython change all java.lang.String objects to PyString automatically.
I have a JList which may contain any object, as well as String.
However in my test cases, all my String objects become PyString after I add
the String to the DefaultListModel I am using.
If I:
class MyString(java.lang.Object):
    def __init__(self,text):
        self.__text=text
    def toString(self):
        return self.__text

then all is well again, but this is extra work I don't need.

Any hints?

Thanks
