[armedbear-devel] new jcall / jar:file: path functions

Well, one reason being that their implemetation requires a call to
setAccessible() which is defined to be allowed to raise a security
exception. The method Alessio implemented (and I figured out long ago
in order to implement USOCKET on ABCL) doesn't have that drawback.
When this strategy can't work, well, I guess we'll need to revisit and
go the security exception route.

Right. We want to start doing caching like that too, based on the
object class, method name and the argument classes. That would be what
you need, right?

Bye,
