Re: Fw: java prototypes in RPG

[Carl <c.groner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

In the prototype you posted in your original message, you declare arg0
of the org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem constructor to
be an object of the type java.io.FileInputStream. No such constructor
exists in the POIFSFileSystem class. The type of your parameter arg0
should be java.io.InputStream.

The java object will accept a java.io.FileInputStream through type
polymorphism, but the constructor prototype must declare the object
parameter types exactly. I don't believe that the RPG side is capable
of interpreting java object types, inheritance, etc., and strictly
matches by name.

Hope that helps,
Carl.
