I don't know what you mean by injection in this context. But Jython has a property "python.security.respectJavaAccessibility" which may help - if you set it to false (on the command line or the Jython registry (see the docs)) then Jython code can access private members of Java objects. It seems a bit of a hack but it might help you out. Changing the Java class to make the private members be protected seems like a better fix if you can do it.
