Initializing help system before first use

Java version of the example

As is explained in Section Using the Optimizer with BCL Java, before accessing directly the problem held in Xpress Optimizer we need to initialize explicitly the Optimizer Java. The cut manager callback is implemented in Java by the class 'cutMgrListener'.

public class xbcutex

   XPRBcut[] ca;
   int num,i;

   bprob = (XPRBprob)data;             /* Get the BCL problem */

   try
   {
    bprob.beginCB(oprob);              /* Coordinate BCL and Optimizer */
    num = oprob.getIntAttrib(XPRS.NODES);
    if(num == 2)                       /* Only generate cuts at node 2 */
    {
     ca = new XPRBcut[2];
     ca[0] = bprob.newCut(start[1].add(2) .lEql(start[0]), 2);
     ca[1] = bprob.newCut(start[2].mul(4) .add(start[3].mul(-5.3)) .lEql(-17), 2);
     System.out.println("Adding constraints:");
     for(i=0;i<2;i++) ca[i].print();
     bprob.addCuts(ca);
    }
    bprob.endCB();                     /* Reset BCL to main problem */
   }
   catch(XPRSprobException e)
   {
    System.out.println("Error  " + e.getCode() + ": " + e.getMessage());
   }
   return 0;                           /* Call this method once per node */
  }
 }

 public static void main(String[] args) throws XPRSexception

  bcl = new XPRB();                    /* Initialize BCL */

  oprob = p.getXPRSprob();             /* Get Optimizer problem */
  p.setCutMode(1);                     /* Enable the cut mode */
  cb = new CutMgrCallback();
  oprob.addCutMgrListener(cb, p);      /* Def. the cut manager callback */
  p.mipOptimize();                     /* Solve the problem as MIP */
