Calling JAVA-accessors from RPG

["Patrick Goovaerts" <pgoovaerts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guy's,

Now that I can use a java class in RPG I want to set/retrieve fields
using the getters/setters accessors.  This is what I want :
1) Initialize the class
2) do some 'first things' (static method)
3) set some fieldvalues (static setter-method)
4) work with the values (static method's)
5) retrieve fieldvalues (static getter-method)

This is the result
1) I don't have to do this because I only use Static method's
2) this works
3) seems to be working (do not receive any error)
4) seems to be working, no error, but it seems that fields are still
empty?
The writeSmtpLine(String, String) works, data from parameters are
printed but the field with previously filled data (3) isn't.
5) program error
When I try to get the data from the field back in my RPG prog to check
the data, the program halts with an error that the method doesn't exist.
The method is a static method which has no inputparm and should return a
String.
The statement in error = eval FieldValue=getMsgBcObj()

Can someone tell me where my coding goes wrong pleaaaase?
