Re: Jython actions

it's all based on reflection...if your jython class has an object, of 
the appropriate type that can be seen via reflection then you're golden. 
if not, you can't use SWIXML. EVERYTHING is done via reflection.

you need publically visible java objects that extend AbstractAction that 
can be seen with reflection.

you may be able to work around this by using instanceof. I haven't 
really used instance of though so I can't comment.
