Wondering how Java class to Gosu IType and vise versa

[Will Hu]

Hi ,

During the gosu project that we have to do some convert between Java and Gosu.

From my understanding it is pretty much "Class<?>" and "IType"..

Wondering if we take a simple POJO as the exmaple, How I may achieve it?

BackingClass or something? Sorry I cannot find such doc online..Thanks..

Hi Will, can I hear a bit more about your use case?

For example, in the case a Java method takes Class<?> as an argument, you can simply pass the name of a POGO. Like this:

public class Foo {

  public void takesClassAsArg(Class<?> clazz) {...}

}

You can then call it from Gosu like this:

class myPogo {}

new Foo().takesClassAsArg(myPogo)

If there's a more specific case you're encountering, please let us know.

Good luck,

- Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for your update.

I was seeking the possibility like:

//Gosu POJO
class Person{
  var name : String as Name
  var title : String as Title
}

if I want to use a function from gson like

new Gson().fromJson(String, class)

Then I have to convert my gosu Person into a java class.

Currently I am using this way:

var ob = new Person() {:Name="Kyle", :Title="Expert"}
print(typeof(ob) as IHasJavaClass).BackingClass)

I am not sure if there is other way for this scenario..

For Java to Gosu, I am not sure how many possible ways I may try..

Thanks.
