    Subject: Issue regarding inner classes

    Date: Thu, 4 Sep 1997 19:13:39 -0400

Hi,

We are considering using Java for one of our development projects &
are doing some prototyping with it.

We ran into an issue & were wondering if there was a work around for
it. It seems like one cannot access even non-private members of the
containing class from an inner class when classes are NOT loaded from
CLASSPATH. We ran into this issue when we trying to load an applet &
related classes from the web server. Please note that one can access
non-private members of the containing class from inner classes if
classes are loaded locally using CLASSPATH variable. We have been able
to re-create this issue on AppletViewer (JDK 1.1.3 & JDK 1.1.2) & Hot
Java Browser.

We are currently using JDK1.1.3 on Windows 95 platform.

This seems to be a significant issue to us & any advice or workaround
will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Regards, Shah
