I have to make a call to a method of a web service via SSJS. One of the input parameters of the method is a structure array. The web service consumer is implemented in java. I would like to know how to declare and instantiate the java strucuture array in SSJS.

The signature of the method is:

(short , short , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , short , java.lang.String , java.lang.String , ESTRUTURACHECKLIST[] )

I am creating the array as per your suggestion:

lst=new ArrayList();

var chk:xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST=new 
xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST();
chk.setCONTEUDOCHECKLIST("XXXX");
chk.setDESCRICAOCHECKLIST("CÓDIGO USUÁRIO");
lst.add(chk);

var chk1:xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx..ESTRUTURACHECKLIST=new 
xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx..ESTRUTURACHECKLIST();
chk1.setCONTEUDOCHECKLIST("TESTE");
chk1.setDESCRICAOCHECKLIST("NOME USUARIO");
lst.add(chk1);
var chk2:xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx..ESTRUTURACHECKLIST=new 
xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx..ESTRUTURACHECKLIST();
chk2.setCONTEUDOCHECKLIST("TESTE NOTES");
chk2.setDESCRICAOCHECKLIST("NOME NOTES");
lst.add(chk2);
arr=lst.toArray();

When I created the structure array following its suggestion, the java method gives the error and does not recognize the last array. To be sure, I changed the signature of the class that instantiates the web service client by removing the array, there was no error. What I think is occurring is that the java class is not recognizing the array passed by the SSJS with an array of the specified structure.

The error calling the method is:

Error while executing Javascript action expression Script interpreter error, line=75, col=13: Java method 'xxxxx(number, number, string, string, string, string,string, string,string, string,string, [Ljava.lang.Object;)'on java class xx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx not found

  • What do you mean by "structure array"? Is it an array of a certain class? Is it a ListArray? How is the exact signature of your method you want to call? – Knut Herrmann Jul 28 '17 at 12:26
  • This is an array of a Java class defined by the developer. – Marcus Loza Jul 28 '17 at 13:05
  • If I did not make a mistake while counting then the input for your method should contain `2x number + 7x string + 1x number + 2x string + 1x array` but the error indicates that you are trying to execute with `2x number + 9x string + 1x array`. It seems like 1 argument (number) is missing... – xpages-noob Aug 01 '17 at 17:03
  • Actually I have an intermediate class that receives the signature of 2x number + 9x string + 1x array, and calls the signature method mentioned in the problem statement, also passing the 1x number. – Marcus Loza Aug 01 '17 at 17:52

If you need a Java array of the given objects, you can first put them in a List-like structure, like ArrayList or Vector, and afterwards retrieve the Java array by calling the toArray method.

Here is a SSJS code snippet that should help you:

importPackage(java.util);
importPackage(br.com.mercantil.dmdws);

var lst,chk,arr;

lst=new ArrayList();

chk=new ESTRUTURACHECKLIST();
// ... do whatever you need to do to the object
lst.add(chk);

// ... repeat previous step if needed

arr=lst.toArray(); // this is the Java array

Update

If the method you use cannot handle the Object array because it demands the array to be of a certain class you can provide an array with the needed runtime type as first argument to the toArray method. As I do not know how to create or cast such an array in SSJS I would add a "helper" method to the br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST class which looks like this

public static ESTRUTURACHECKLIST[] getJavaArray(int n) {
    return new ESTRUTURACHECKLIST[n];
}

and create the array in the example above in the following way:

arr=lst.toArray(ESTRUTURACHECKLIST.getJavaArray(lst.size()));

  • The problem is that when calling the java method of the web service, it does not recognize the array of objects as an array array and gives an error. – Marcus Loza Aug 01 '17 at 13:13
  • It's hard to find out what exactly the problem is without having information about the method you are calling and the exception it raises. You should provide that here. – xpages-noob Aug 01 '17 at 13:36
  • I put more details on the problem statement. – Marcus Loza Aug 01 '17 at 16:49
  • @MarcusLoza: Did you try the updated solution? Did it work? – xpages-noob Aug 04 '17 at 07:12
  • I have not had the time yet, but next week I will implement the solution you suggested and I will give a feedback here. Thank you very much! – Marcus Loza Aug 04 '17 at 13:13
  • I've tried your suggestion, but the error below is displayed. The strange thing is that by putting br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST. It lists the 'getJavaArray' method. I cleaned the project, rebuilt it, rebooted the Domino server, but nothing solved. Unknown member 'getJavaArray' in Java class 'br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST' – Marcus Loza Aug 16 '17 at 19:18

Using the full name of the relevant class, including package name, will work. For example, if it was needing to pass a Java HashMap, you could use:

var myMap:java.util.HashMap = new java.util.HashMap();

This assumes the relevant class is accessible to the code, for example the HashMap class here is accessible because it's part of the Java core, which XPages has access to.

  • The class that represents the structure has the name of STRUTURACHECKLIST in java the statement would look like this: ESTRUTURACHECKLIST [] chk = new ESTRUTURACHECKLIST [0]. How do I declare in SSJS? – Marcus Loza Jul 28 '17 at 13:30
  • In Java there should be import statements to resolve that or it's a class somehow adjacent to what you're seeing. It may be in a default package of whatever you're looking at. I've not come across that in my Java experience and Java editors usually warn against that.This SO question quote a Sun book stating it's bad practice https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7849421/is-the-use-of-javas-default-package-a-bad-practice. One of the reasons it gives - difficulty importing the class in, so using it - seems to be what you're hitting here. I don't know a solution, unless you can give a package name. – Paul Stephen Withers Jul 28 '17 at 15:33
  • But the code quoted above for an example, the code is related to the class-related package. See in the code below, which just for the structure and methods, though it's not like declaring the array. _'var chk:br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST=new br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST; chk.setCONTEUDOCHECKLIST("XXXXXX"); chk.setDESCRICAOCHECKLIST("CÓDIGO USUÁRIO");_ – Marcus Loza Jul 28 '17 at 16:05
  • That's the kind of approach that's needed, to use the full name. But bear in mind `new` calls the constructor of a Java class, and the constructor is a method, so it would need to be `var chk:br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST=new br.com.mercantil.dmdws.ESTRUTURACHECKLIST();` From there you should be able to test and debug. – Paul Stephen Withers Jul 31 '17 at 07:14
  • But that is the statement to the structure. This I was able to do. I could not declare the array of structures. What would be the statement for an array in this case. I tried various shapes and none of them worked. – Marcus Loza Jul 31 '17 at 12:01
