Up and down casting of smart pointers

[domcir]

Hi

When I use a facroy to get a smart pointer object how should I handle up and down casting of that smart pointer in Java?

Something like 'std::static_pointer_cast' in C++.

Do I need to create a converter function that would look like 'std::smart_ptr convert(std::smart_ptr)' or is there a better way?

Thanks
Dom

That's the essence of it, but we can deal with those more easily with the new Info.upcast() that @HGuillemet has contributed, see pull #671.
