Cast to an specific room extension from a zone extension

Hi, this is a question that I have been wondering for a while now.
I have one zone extension and three room extensions, and they are all in diferent projects, now let's supose that I have to do some tasks when a disconnect event occur, since disconnect is a zone level event, I can catch the event, and I can get the rooms of the user and tell the kind of room based on variables, etc. But how should I do if I want to call a method that exist in that room extension? I can't cast to it because I don't have any reference to the class in the zone extension project.
Can I put a copy of the room extension in the project of the zone extension, and expect the cast to work? Would that duplicate the class when I generate the .jar files?

I know that there is a __lib__ folder but I think is not for extension classes.

What are your suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,

...since disconnect is a zone level event

DISCONNECT is dispatched to both Zone and Room extensions, not just at Zone level.

I know that there is a __lib__ folder but I think is not for extension classes.

Yes, you can use it for Extensions as well, and it will load all of your Extension classes in the same classloader avoiding errors when you cast from one Extension to another.

Hi, I was convinced that in one post you said that handle the DISCONNECT event at room level was a tricky task and would be removed in future releases, I can't find the post and I just can assume you were talking about other event.
I think I'll choose the first option and implement the event at room level. Thanks!
