345307 - toString() conflict in nsIDOMLocation and java.lang.Object

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Java to XPCOM Bridge, defect)

Description

[Michal Ceresna]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060614 Fedora/1.5.0.4-1.2.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.4 pango-text
Build Identifier: 

The nsIDOMLocation interface defines a toString() method.

Then in Java code: 

nsIDOMLocation loc=...
loc.toString(); 

calls the java Object's toString() and there is no possibility
to directly call the nsIDOMLocation's toString() method




Reproducible: Always

This also applies to nsISelection.toString().

Is there a work around for getting the current selection in String form?

I would think that this is an easy fix with the native code in the 'invoke' method, but I'm not familiar with the code there, nor have I built xulrunner/JavaXPCOM before.

JavaXPCOM was removed in bug 648593.
