RE: RPGIV to Java prototype/call miss-match

Pete;

This is the original code: http://code.midrange.com/795c6c994c.html

This is the modified code: http://code.midrange.com/dde8570204.html

The modified code is not stripped down, but basically the only difference is the addition of the object (variable) instance.

Hi Duane,

When you call a Java method from RPG, you always have to pass the Java object (the one containing the method you want to call) as the first parameter.

That object is never coded on the prototype. But it's required on the call.

The only exceptions to this are *CONSTRUCTOR methods and STATIC methods.
All other methods (i.e. the normal methods) always require the object to be passed in the first parameter.

So what does that look like? Do you resolve a pointer something and pass that? Just curious. Could you post an example of what worked vs what didn't?
