Another Ada Java question

Another Ada Java question

[Kendal Van Dyke]

In Java there are some functions and procedures that are called as
this.[something] . What is the equivalent of this in Ada Java?

Roughly, you'd call:

	[something](this, ...);

meaning that the [something] method equivalent in AdaJava is a
procedure or function, where the first parameter (usually) is the
object to be operated on.

For example,

	fileName = this.getName();

in Java becomes

	fileName := java.io.file.getName(this);

in AdaJava.  Of course, "this" is not an implicitly declared object
in Ada, rather, it would have to be declared, usually as a parameter
to the subprogram you're in.
