quickie about visibility

Tue Jan 22 18:35:00 GMT 2002

Sorry about all these, I'm just asking them as they occur to me...
Is a C++ method allowed to call a C++ method which is not visible to
Java through a class reference?
For example:
class T
{
 public native void someX ();
}
CNI::
void
::someX ()
{
 ::S s = new ::S ();
 s->privMethod ();
}
class S
{
}
CNI::
void
privMethod ()
{
 // do nothing.
}
T::someX creates a new S and then calls a method that is only visible
to the C++ layer.
I need to do this because I have some types that I'm trying to hide
from Java, I need to expose them across class boundaries though so I
was going to have the CNI of one class set them on another via a C++
method not visible to the Java code.
Anyone got any idea how to do this?
