从Ruby调用Java时，JRuby无法将类型强制转换为自身

Question

I'm trying to interface with java classes in a server to use them with ruby, and I need to provide callback classes. Unfortunately, JRuby seems to be trying to coerce a type to itself, and I don't understand why it's doing this and failing trying to do so.

I have the following method in ruby

def registerEvent(id, type, priority = :normal, ignoreCancelled = false, &handler)
  fullClassName = "org.bukkit.event." + type.join(".")
  fullType = java.lang.Class.forName fullClassName

  eventHandler = net.connorcpu.plugscript.EventHandler.new

  eventHandler.setHandlerId id
  eventHandler.setPriority matchToEnum(priority.to_s, org.bukkit.event.EventPriority)
  eventHandler.setEventType fullType
  eventHandler.setIgnoreCancelled ignoreCancelled

  handlerWrapper = EventExecutorWrapper.new(self, handler)
  eventHandler.setExecutor handlerWrapper

  puts eventHandler.java_class.to_s

  $context.registerEvent eventHandler # line 44 from the stacktrace
  return eventHandler
end

Being used like this

registerEvent(
  "edit the quit message because reasons",
  [:player, :PlayerQuitEvent]
) {|event|
  puts 'test message'
}

And when I try to use it, I'm getting the following stacktrace

[21:34:05 WARN]: TypeError: failed to coerce net.connorcpu.plugscript.EventHandler to net.connorcpu.plugscript.EventHandler

Thank you for any help on this, I've been stumped on this for a while.

It turns out, this was an issue relating to classloaders. The same class was being used from two unique classloaders in each place of the code. The solution was to initialize the JRuby scripting engine with the same classloader as the code creating the scripting environment.

engine = new ScriptingContainer(LocalContextScope.SINGLETHREAD, LocalVariableBehavior.PERSISTENT);
engine.setCompileMode(RubyInstanceConfig.CompileMode.JIT);
engine.setCompatVersion(rubyCompat());
engine.setClassLoader(PlugScript.class.getClassLoader());
