Re: problem with ProbeMap and java and subclass?

[Steve Brophy]

Thanks for the quick fix.  That took care of my "getCompleteVarMapFor"
problem, but I think that a different bug is showing up now:

When adding a VarProbe to an EmptyProbeMap, I had been using a hard-coded
class reference such as "MyClass.class" in these two calls.  After the fixed
.dll files were installed, this now gave an error.  I found that the error
was avoided if I changed all "MyClass.class" references to instead be
"getClass()" references, PLUS removed all other "MyClass.class" references
from the code?

The following example gives an error with the new .dll files, but works with
the original 2.1.1 dlls (on an NT system).  Or alternately it will work with
the new dlls if the noted line is commented out:

--------------

import swarm.Globals;
import swarm.defobj.Zone;
import swarm.objectbase.EmptyProbeMapImpl;
import swarm.objectbase.ProbeMap;
import swarm.objectbase.SwarmObjectImpl;

public class TestProbe extends SwarmObjectImpl {
    public int myint;

    public TestProbe(Zone aZone) {
        super(aZone);
    }

    public void addaprobe () {
        ProbeMap pmapA;
        pmapA = new EmptyProbeMapImpl(Globals.env.globalZone, getClass());
        pmapA.addProbe(Globals.env.probeLibrary.getProbeForVariable$inClass(
                                "myint", getClass()));
        Class c = TestProbe.class;  // take out this line to avoid bug
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Globals.env.initSwarm("tst4", "00", "smb", args);
        TestProbe ap = new TestProbe(Globals.env.globalZone);
        ap.addaprobe();
        System.out.println("Got it.");
    };
}
