Hi. I know the subject of this thread is going to tempt you to flame me, but please bear with me for a while Basically, I'm developing an application using JDBC, so I have no choice but to use Cocoa-Java. As expected, I ran into problems with the Java bridge at once... So... Could anybody give me advice on how to avoid those dreaded Java bridge errors? Are there any general guidelines I can follow that will (hopefully) keep me out of trouble? For example, I tried to create a class implementing NSTableView.DataModel, but no matter what I do I keep getting NullPointerExceptions!!! Any help, please?

Thank ya!

I haven't used the Java bridge since the Public Beta but last time I checked this still worked (sort of). It shows how to setup the data source for a table. It was kind of thrown together and it hasn't been touched for a while but it may be able to help.

Good luck!

For things like NSTableView.DataSource objects, I recommend making your java classes extend com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSObject. I've found that the bridge tends to let Java objects get garbage collected unless you do some cocoa-style memory management, which is done automatically for you by NSObject.

Or something like that. It worked for me.

Thanx for the replies guys! I looked at IamBob's cool code (it still works!) & found the problem. Turns out that I am not supposed to implement NSTableView.DataSource as a Java interface. Stupid me!
