[rjb-users] Extending a Java class

[rjb-users at rubyforge.org]

Hi Rich,

At this time, the imported class is not a really Ruby class in Rjb.
If you think it's better to map imported class as Ruby's class, I positively
plan to implement the feature.
So, at this time, a workaround is to use delegation instead of
inheritance.
This sample code describes how to delegate method calls to the contained
object.

require 'rjb'
require 'test/unit'

class RubyVector
  Vector = Rjb::import('java.util.Vector')
  def initialize
    @vector = Vector.new
  end
  def test_vector
    'it worked'
  end
  def method_missing(msg, *arg)
    @vector.send(msg, *arg)
  end
end

class VectorTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup
    @r = RubyVector.new
  end

  def test_adding_method()
    assert_equal('it worked', @r.test_vector)
  end

  def test_add()
    @r.add(1)
    @r.add(2)
    @r.add(3)
    assert(@r.contains(1))
    assert(!@r.contains(8))
  end

  def test_get()
    @r.add("ab")
    @r.add("cd")
    @r.add("ef")
    assert_equal("ab", @r.get(0).toString)
    assert_equal("cd", @r.get(1).toString)
    assert_equal("ef", @r.get(2).toString)
  end

  def test_iterator()
    @r.add("ab")
    @r.add("cd")
    @r.add("ef")
    i = @r.iterator
    assert(i.hasNext)
    assert_equal("ab", i.next.toString)
    assert(i.hasNext)
    assert_equal("cd", i.next.toString)
    assert(i.hasNext)
    assert_equal("ef", i.next.toString)
    assert(!i.hasNext)
  end
end
