jython type coercion to interface type

[Harald Kirsch]

How would I call a java constructor which takes a java.lang.CharS equence
as argument. Say, the java class goes like this

class X {
public X(CharSequence s) { ... }
}

In the jython interpreter I tried along the lines of

x = X("bla")

and got "1st arg can't be coerced to java.lang.CharS equence". Then

x = X(CharSequence( "bla"))

and got "can't instantiate interface (java.lang.Char Sequence)"

Is there a way to typecast String to CharSequence or, mor generally,
a type to a supertype or interface?

Yes, this worked.
