Hi,


I wrote the attached patch which fixes the problem when applied into jamvm. 
Unfortunately this is VM specific code ... We will have to chanhge this perhaps 
in the future.

Can you please test this patch with your testcase and report any results ? I 
have extended your testcase a bit to check for more cases too. With jamvm+patch 
this passes them all.

Summary:  java.lang.reflect.Method.toString() and array parameters, etc

Original Submission:  The toString() method in the reference implementation of
the Method class gives the wrong answer when called on a
method with a parameter or a result type that is an array
type.  You get "void foo([I)" instead of "void foo(int[])"
for example.

The bug is due to the use of 'getName()' on the respective
Class objects to get the type strings.  Unfortunately, 
getName() is specified to return a "[..." string for
an array type.
