RE: Calling Java from RPG take 2

I have posted the prototype here. http://code.midrange.com/1d823cc794.html

I will also dig into the documentation mentioned by Barbara. Thanks to everyone that responded. I may have more questions later today.

Subject: Calling Java from RPG take 2

In order to interface with some third party software, I need to call some Java code that they provided to generate a token. My experience with Java is mainly what I have read in articles. The statement they gave me was

String tokenValue = cincom.eloquence.exits.gsm.token. UniversalToken. getUniversalToken(Mykey, expireMinutes)

Mykey is a java string and the expireMinutes is an integer. Thanks to the previous thread about calling Java, I used the wizard in WDSC to create the prototypes for calling the Java method. Thanks Joe! What I am struggling with is how do I move data between a Java string variable and an RPG character variable? I am guessing I need to create a new instance of the Mykey field and somehow assign a value to it. I need to do this with the Mykey field and the tokenValue field.
