Perhaps it's not visible to the normal classloader, but it is to some other classloader used by this graph library. Can you not just use (class some-instance) to get ahold of the class object, given you can get ahold of instances as you said, and then use reflection on the class object? -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?!

Not as clumsy or random as C++; a language for a more civilized age. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
