Exporting Constructors

[ihsan ciftci]

Suppose I have a class like that

public class MyPoint implements IGeometry, Cloneable
{
public MyPoint() { this(Double.NaN, Double.NaN);} //Export

public MyPoint(MyPoint point) { . . . } //Export

public MyPoint(Point2D point) { . . . } //No-export

public MyPoint(double... coordinates) { ... } //Export

}

I want to export some of its constructors.
How can I do that when the preferred way is to use ExportOverlay?
If it is not possible, with Exportable interface? No need to Export
IGeometry.

Not sure about what you want, anyway ExportOverlay can be used with
interfaces and classes implementing stub methods.
You can use the annotation @ExportConstructor or @ExportInstanceMethod
to change the original class behavior

Take a look to this example from the tests which I think could help you:

public static class Child {
private String name;
public Child(String cname) { name = cname; }
public String getName1() { return name; }
public String getName2(long l) { return name + l; }
public String getName3(Child c) { return c==null? "NULL" :c.getName1(); }

public String wrapped_method(long l) {return "" + l;}
}

public static class Mother {
Child child;
public void setChild(Child c) {child = c;}
public Child getChild() {return child;}
}

@ExportPackage("ex")
@Export("Child")
public static class XChild implements ExportOverlay<Child>{
public XChild(String s){}
@Export("name")
public String getName1() {return null;}
@Export("name")
public String getName2(long l) {return null;}
@Export("name")
public String getName3(Child c) {return null;}

@ExportConstructor
public static Child constructor(String name, String surname) {
return new Child(name + " " + surname);
}
@ExportInstanceMethod("foo")
public static String instanceMethod(Child instance, String name,
String surname, long l) {
return name + "-" + surname + "-Foo-" + l;
}

@ExportInstanceMethod("foo")
public static String instanceMethod(Child instance, String name) {
return name + "-Caa";
}
public String wrapped_method(long l) {return null;}
}

@ExportPackage("ex")
@Export("Mother")
public static class XMother implements ExportOverlay<Mother>{
public void setChild(Child c) {}
public Child getChild() {return null;}
}

var child = new $wnd.ex.Child("Bill");
var mother = new $wnd.ex.Mother();
mother.setChild(child);
p("Bill", mother.getChild().name());
p("Bill2", mother.getChild().name(2));
p("Joe", child.name(new $wnd.ex.Child("Joe")));
p("s1-s2-Foo-2", child.foo('s1', 's2', 2));
p("s1-Caa", child.foo('s1'));
p("null-Caa", child.foo(null));
