Hello gnu,

I've been playing around with the CNI from gcj, which I find really
helpful, and have come up with a question.  I have looked over the
documentation, but still cannot answer the question myself so I've
reduced myself to bothering somebody else.  This is not an
emergency.......

In my C++ CNI file I access a java ArrayList which contains several
instances of my class ItemVersionStatistics.

When I enter the line,
	ItemVersionStatistics *ivs = (ItemVersionStatistics)
arrayListVariable->get(0);
The compiler gives the following error message:

ItemTest.cpp: In function `int main(int, char*)':
ItemTest.cpp:643: error: no matching function for call to
`ItemVersionStatistics::ItemVersionStatistics(java::lang::Object*)'
./ItemVersionStatistics.h:33: note: candidates are:
ItemVersionStatistics::ItemVersionStatistics(java
::lang::String*, java::util::Date*, java::util::ArrayList*)

To me it looks like the type cast is being ignored.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
