Types

The jvmobject type

You can use the jvmobject type to hold a Java object reference within your Mosel model. A jvmobject initially contains a null reference but can be populated as the return value of jvmcallobj, e.g.:

declarations
  myobj: jvmobject
end-decarations
myobj := jvmcallobj("com.fico.examples.ConfigOperations.getConfigFile","config.dat")
}

Once the jvmobject is populated, you can check it's populated using getisnull and check if's off the expected class using getclass, e.g.:

declarations
  myobj: jvmobject
end-decarations
myobj := jvmcallobj("com.fico.examples.ConfigOperations.getConfigFile","config.dat")
if myobj.isnull then
  writeln('ERROR: Expected configuration File object, found null')
elif myobj.class<>'java.io.File' then
  writeln('ERROR: Expected configuration File object, found '+myobj.class)
end-if
}

You can also turn it to a string or text (which uses the Java toString() method), and pass it to other public static Java functions, e.g.:

declarations
  myobj: jvmobject
  configfiles: array(range) of text
end-decarations
myobj := jvmcallobj("com.fico.examples.ConfigOperations.getConfigFile","config.dat")
configfiles(configfiles.size+1) := text(myobj)
writeln('About to read configuration from file ',myobj)
jvmcallvoid("com.fico.examples.ConfigOperations.loadConfigFromFile",myobj);
}

If the jvmobject contains a java.lang.Number, a java.lang.String or a java.lang.Boolean, you can read the value into a Mosel variable, e.g.

declarations
  myobj: jvmobject
  b: boolean
  i: integer
  r: real
  t: text
end-decarations
myobj := jvmcallobj("com.fico.examples.ConfigOperations.getConfigValue","value1")
if myobj.class='java.lang.Integer' then
  i := myobj.intvalue
elif myobj.class='java.lang.Boolean' then
  b := myobj.boolvalue
elif myobj.class='java.lang.Double' then
  r := myobj.realvalue
elif myobj.class='java.lang.String' then
  t := myobj.textvalue
end-if
}

Finally, you can also populate a jvmobject with any of these basic types (the Java object will be created automatically based on the type of the value you provide), e.g.:

declarations
  i,b,r,t: jvmobject
end-decarations
i.value := 1
b.value := true
r.value := 9.1
t.value := 'hello world'
}
