Accessing a JavaResource from a KotlinResource
Opened this issue ยท 6 comments
Sometime I fallback to using just the Java bindings, but have specified say the provider in the Kotlin side. I tried to extract a JavaProviderResource from a KotlinProviderResource - but it is protected (so I had to patch locally, and start generating more things locally).
My local path is just modifying
to bepublic
instead of internal
.
So two questions:
- Is there already a way to extract the JavaResource from the KotlinResource?
- If not, thoughts on having it? Seems useful.
#706 is a good example of needing to fallback to the Java bindings, and wanting to re-use my existing Kotlin logic.

Yes, but in this case there's no corresponding Kotlin classes, so exposing the Java objects wouldn't really be of much help ๐ Do any other examples come to mind?
Definitely possible that I am missing something better, but in the other example I have:
- a Kubernetes (Kotlin) provider
- I use it with Kotlin-generated bindings, works fine.
- CustomResource does not exist, thus I need to use the Java bindings
- The Java CustomResource needs a JavaProvider, and rather than figuring out how to generate that directly, I instead want to make use of my Kubernetes Kotlin provider
- For my local version, I expose the underlying Java object, which lets me use the mix of Java and Kotlin
Ah, I understand, good point. I'll try to figure out how to handle these overlay resources when I get the chance, thank you for your patience ๐
Sounds good, no rush though, I'm unblocked.
And I empathize with the desire to both hide implementation details and also the occasional need for escape hatches. ๐
