yes.
solution: Don't use types that are platform specific (like java Arraylist or
Vector, or like .NET DataSet or ArrayList, etc).
On the Java side, do not expose the methods that accept an Arraylist. Or,
expose them, but don't call them from .NET. Instead, expose from java, and
call from .NET, a similar method that accepts not an arraylist but an array.
Rather than
public java.lang.String HandleMyArraylist(java.util.Arraylist alist) {
....
}
you should use
public java.lang.String HandleMyArray(MyType[] array) {
java.util.Arraylist alist= new java.util.Arraylist(array); // I
think this creates a new arraylist with the contents of the array
return HandleMyArraylist(alist);
}
Then from .NET , consume the HandleMyArray method.
