Bug: Nested classes/interfaces are not always loaded correctly

[Udo]

Assume we have this class with a nested interface (in a file "ClassWithNestedInterface.java"):

public class ClassWithNestedInterface {

    public interface NestedInterface {

    }

}

In an other class NestedInterfaceUser (stored in file "NestedInterfaceUser.java") we are using the above (nested) interface:

public class NestedInterfaceUser {

    public static NestedInterfaceUser create() {

        return new NestedInterfaceUser();

    }

    public ClassWithNestedInterface.NestedInterface func() {

        return new ClassWithNestedInterface.NestedInterface() {

            @Override

            public String toString() {

                return "NestedInterfaceImplementation";

            }

        };

    }

    public NestedInterfaceUser() {

    }

}

When we run this code as a Java2Script application and try to create an instance of NestedInterfaceUser and call func the browser prompts the following error:

1. GET file:///...removed_stufff.../ClassWithNestedInterface/NestedInterface.js net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND j2slib.src.z.js:4455

I.e. Java2Script tries to load the nested interface from a separate file "NestedInterface.js" inside a directory "ClassWithNestedInterface". This fails because there is no such file (or directory). Actually the code for "NestedInterface" is located in the file "ClassWithNestedInterface.js".

We noticed the problem with the latest Java2Script upgrade (j2s-2.0.0-20131019-eclipse-4.3). After quite some effort we were able to isolate the problem in the small test code example given above. We re-ran the test on an older version of Java2Script and the test also failed with the old version. 

Notice this does not happens with every nested class or interface. It looks like timing and/or class load order affects it. E.g. when the containing class was already loaded, e.g. because of some other dependencies, the nested class/interface is also already defined and the problem vanishes.

Hi,

For quick answer, there are are undocumented tips for inner classes. Try adding some lines of codes like these:

ClazzLoader.jarClasspath (base + "util/AbstractList.js", [

"java.util.AbstractList",

"java.util.AbstractList.FullListIterator",

"java.util.AbstractList.SimpleListIterator",

"java.util.AbstractList.SubAbstractList",

"java.util.AbstractList.SubAbstractListRandomAccess"

]);

somewhere.

If no ClazzLoader.jarClasspath is configured, requiring ClassWithNestedInterface.NestedInterface before requiring ClassWithNestedInterface (e.g. new ClassWithNestedInterface() which will trigger class being loaded), it will complaint class loading error.

Hope it help.

Thank you very much for that fast response!

That solved the issue,

Fixed in latest Java2Script build for Eclipse 4.5 and 4.6.
