[jruby-user] overloading Java methods via a module

I can’t seem to overload a Java class instance method via a module.

```
    require 'java'
    module A
      def getComment
        'via module'
      end
    end

    Java::JavaNet::HttpCookie.send(:include, A)
    Java::JavaNet::HttpCookie.new('k', 'v').getComment
```

the last line returns the original java definition when I want it to return my overloaded version

What does work is opening up the class…

```
    require 'java'
    class Java::JavaNet::HttpCookie
      def getComment
        'via class opening'
      end
    end
    java.net.HttpCookie.new('k', 'v').getComment
```

note: I’m using HttpCookie as an example  :)

Thanks,
Mike
