[flowscript] help w/ static initialization pb

[Mark Lundquist <ml...@wrinkledog.com>]

Hi,

I hope this isn't too lame of a question! :-)

I have a Java class that's referenced from flowscript via 
importClass().  The class contains a static initializer block, and this 
static initializer block is not getting called.

Any ideas why that would be?

Thanks a lot,
—ml—

Static initializer blocks are run only once and that is when the class
is loaded for the first time. I don't know see how flowscript or Rhino
could possibly intercept this as it's a VM thing.

Put a system.out.println() at the top in the static block to verify
this. Maybe you have a silenced exception making you think the block
doesn't get run ?

Figured it out.  I'm a Java 'tard :-/

This class exists only for static things.  I just figure out that in 
Java, the static initialization block doesn't run when the class is 
loaded, it gets run upon the first instantiation of the class, and I 
was never instantiating the class.

When I added

	new Foo();

to my flowscript, it all started working.  I should probably implement 
a real Singleton pattern for this thing.
