Not sure what you mean here.  We are working with two mappings that your software creates, all designed cooperatively.

For the problem method, the first encoding is:

   Viewpoint27 = Viewpoint()
   Viewpoint27.setDEF("ViewUpClose")
   Viewpoint27.setCenterOfRotation([0,-1,0])
   Viewpoint27.setDescription("Hello world!")
   Viewpoint27.setPosition([0,-1,7])

while the second pipelined programming approach is:

   Viewpoint().setDEF("ViewUpClose").setCenterOfRotation(0,-1,0).setDescription("Hello world!").setPosition(0,-1,7)

These are equivalent, indeed we are compiling against the same X3DJSAIL in each case.

The first works with no complaint because the return values of each method invocation is ignored.  Thus the incorrect return type for setCenterOfRotation(0,-1,0) does not matter.

I think that the second fails because Python/pyjnius is finding an incorrect return type for setCenterOfRotation(0,-1,0) which the subsequent setDescription("Hello world!") can't be applied to.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "HelloWorld.future.py", line 54, in <module>
     .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'

oh no, that is not correct!  it is the setDEF() method that returns the incorrect return type, which the subsequent setCenterOfRotation(0,-1,0) can't operate on.

OK so that gets me closer to understanding what you were saying about setDEF.

Similar issue:  ViewpointObject setDEF() is an @Override method.

	@Override
	public final ViewpointObject setDEF(String newValue)

i'll take a deeper look at setDEF() lineage next time.

2. meanwhile tonight, i mistakenly deleted the org/* tree from the pyjnius directory.

ran makeorg.sh to restore it. console attached.

not sure what happened next, it appeared to break classes.json:

				throw("Wrote nothing, serializer returned nothing");
				^

================================================================================

i restored classes.json via subversion and that seemed to fix things again.  not sure why makeorg failed though.

all the best, Don
