I have an existing class that I want to use as a superclass for a new class definition.

CtClass ctNewHandlerClass = ClassPool.getDefault().makeClass(newClassname, ctExistingClass);

Something troubling is that this new ctClass has none of the inherited methods in ctExistingClass. In other words:

     LOG.info("class methods are ", Arrays.toString(ctNewHandlerClass.getMethods()));

... returns an empty array. When does javassist resolve the superclass' methods?
