Still no dice.

The modified prototype:

d ResendOrder pr o static extproc(*JAVA:
d
'com.DelMonte.WMS_BPCS_Integrator.ex-
d
ecutable.ResendOrder':'resendOrder')
d class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
d o class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
d const
d o class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
d const

The modified procedure call:

ReturnMsg=ResendOrder(string(wmfac):string(charOrd));

The modified method declaration:

public class ResendOrder
{
public static String resendOrder(String Facility, String Order)
{..)
}


I think...at this point...I'm just going to have the result returned via
a data structure. Based on all the documentaion I've looked at, there's
absolutely no reason this shouldn't work. The issue can't be that the
signatures don't match, because they do. So the issue is something else
completely inexplicable.

It's the cludgy way to do it, but it'll work.

ike Barbara said, STATIC.
There's nothing wrong with using STATIC procedures (now that I know the
syntax
-) ). You don't have to go through the pain of running the CONSTRUCTOR
first.
f you don't need instance objects, don't use them. Referencing a static
method utomatically creates the class object the first time you use it,
but no nstance objects. The class object contains only the static
members and methods.
ut don't call it "main". A class does not have to have a "main" unless
you want he RUNJVA command to start there. Java function main is really
meant for just hat; the place to start when the JVM starts up. You can
specify any other unction as static. In fact, you can have a static
method and non-static method ith the same name; they'll have different
signatures.
So here's what I'd suggest for your prototype:
ResendOrder pr o STATIC extproc(*JAVA:
'com.WMS_BPCS_Integrator.ex-
ecutable.ResendOrder':'resendOrder')
class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
o class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
dim(2)
And your method definition should look like this:
String static resendOrder(String[] input{ return "gotcha";

I just noticed you're passing in a String array (dim(2)) and not two
String's.
f course that's the classic signature for the JVM startup method: static

nd that's what I don't understand. You're doing essentially what I'm
doing, ut with 90 character parms instead of string objects.
Why does your work but mine doesn't? It makes no sense.

ee, here's the funny part about that static keyword.
f I don't include it, the program won't compile unless I include the
return
riable as the first parameter in the prototype call.
ut when I do that....I get the exact same error. And what's funny is
that it
ports the same signature being sent (String,String)String. Which
doesn't make
hole lot of sense to me, but, whatever.
've never had problems calling java classes with prototypes in the past.
But
is is the first time that I've actually tried to get something back from
one.
nd the issue doesn't seem to be whether to method is static or not in
the lass.
'm getting the same thing no matter how I define it.

otice that little word "static" in the definition of your "main"
function?
is prototype is trying to invoke the method "main" on a member object.
The
ction only exists in the class object. Thus, the error, no such method
xists.
think there's a way to invoke a static method from RPG, but I've never
tried d
on't know the syntax.
other tip: Unless you want to go through another set of Java calls,
declare ur
unction to take and return byte arrays. Byte arrays work just fine in
both G
nd Java so you don't have to go through another set of calls to get the
RPG
iable from the String.
your java should look something like this:
yte[] myFunction( byte[] input){
eturn "Something".getBytes();

ject: Signature mismatch when calling java prototype Ok, I'm officially
at my
its end. I've written a java class which accepts an ray of string
objects and
eturns a string. Here is the prototype in the RPG
gram:
ResendOrder pr o extproc(*JAVA:
'com.WMS_BPCS_Integrator.ex-
ecutable.ResendOrder':'main')
class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
o class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
dim(2)
wever, when I call it, I'm receiving the following error:
use . . . . . : RPG procedure GWBA09D5 in program MXMLIB/GWBA09D5
received
ava exception "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main" when calling method
main" with signature "([Ljava.lang.String;)Ljava.lang.String;" in class
com.WMS_BPCS_Integrator.executable.ResendOrder".
W HERE'S THE FUNNY PART.
en I pull up the class with javap -s, here's what I get for the
signatures:
blic class com.WMS_BPCS_Integrator.executable.ResendOrder extends
a.lang.Object{
lic com.DelMonte.WMS_BPCS_Integrator.executable.ResendOrder();
ignature: ()V
lic static java.lang.String main(java.lang.String[]);
ignature: ([Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
otice how the signatures match? So do I.
is class works just fine as long as I don't try to RETRIEVE a parm.
Removing e
eturn value from both the prototype and the class has the class running
rmally.
o...is it possible to actually prototype a java class so that it
actually does
urn a value to the calling RPG program, or am I banging my head against
the ll
or nothing?
ve tried everything that I can think of so far. I even tried changing
it to a
nstructor procedure and passing in the parms that way, but it really
didn't ke
hat.
