[x3d-public] python pyjnius mapping

[John Carlson]

I see.  Great!  It’s like breaking the contract on purpose, but letting people know you did it.

I understand now.  Just took a few nights sleep.  I’m catching up!  I’m usually 5 years behind state of research :😉

One think I did was verify all class names, abstract class names and interfaces had unique names.

We could also tack Object back on the jsail names, if necessary.

Cool.

agreed it is confusing... reflection can be very tricky.

good observation that we should look hard at what setDEF() returns.

	.addChild(Viewpoint().setDEF("ViewUpClose").setCenterOfRotation(0,-1,0).setDescription("Hello world!").setPosition(0,-1,7))
	AttributeError: 'org.web3d.x3d.sai.Navigation.X3DViewpointNode' object has no attribute 'setCenterOfRotation'

from ViewpointObject, the method is explicitly declared/customized to Override the parent abstract class.

	@Override
	public final ViewpointObject setDEF(String newValue)

also available

	public ViewpointObject setCenterOfRotation(double x, double y, double z)
	public ViewpointObject setCenterOfRotation(float x, float y, float z)

	@Override
	public ViewpointObject setCenterOfRotation(float[] newValue)

yes still confusing.  i think we need to throughly review logic in your classes first before making a conclusive claim against pyjnius...  make sure it always looks at classes, not abstract superclasses.

all the best, Don
