15493 - Determine C++ object for Java object, if any

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java to XPCOM Bridge, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Frank Mitchell]

If a Java object inheriting from nsISupports is passed as a parameter from the
JVM, the system should be able to tell whether the Java object is a proxy for a
C++ object, and, if so, what the corresponding C++ pointer is.

A general mechanism might resemble a "QueryInterface" on the Java object to
return an XPCOM object.  Another API might simply yield an implementor of
nsISupports, for cases where the interface doesn't matter (e.g. "real"
QueryInterface or refcounting.)
