 ==== Symbiosis Utilities ==== ==== Symbiosis Utilities ====
 +
 +The module ''/.at.support.symbiosis'' defines a number of utility functions with respect to the symbiosis with the JVM. It defines the following functions which can be used to quickly create a wrapped Java value of the given primitive type:
 +
 +<code>
 +long(anAmbientTalkNumber) -> aJavaLong
 +short(anAmbientTalkNumber) -> aJavaShort
 +float(anAmbientTalkFraction) -> aJavaFloat
 +byte(anAmbientTalkNumber) -> aJavaByte
 +</code>
 +
 +The module also defines the following function:
 +<code>
 +cast: obj into: Interface
 +</code>
 +
 +The ''Interface'' argument should be a Java class wrapper for an interface type. The function returns a Java proxy object implementing the given interface, wrapping the given AmbientTalk object. If this proxy is subsequently passed to Java code, it will hold that ''proxy instanceof Interface''.
