Representation of java objects (Was: RE: [Php-java-bridge-users] Bridge turns BigInteger into a double?)

[Jost B. <jos...@ya...>]

Hi Jonathan,

I think this is a more general problem. My suggested
workaround doesn't even work for custom number types
which might not have an appropriate constructor. 
Representing a complex number as a php value isn't
possible anyway.

For version 3.0 we have the opportunity to change this
behaviour and remove auto-conversion of return values
completely. This would allow users to work with java
numbers or java strings in a natural way, for example:

$str = new java("java.lang.String", ${123}";
$str = $str->substring(2);
$str = $str->substring($str->length()-1);

If users want to convert a java object into a php
object they can always use the cast operator, for
example:

echo strchr((string)$str, "2");


Regards,
Jost Boekemeier
