My basic question - "How to call existing Java method from Perl" has been asked and answered before, but I am confused by the various different responses. Instead of describing the Java code implemented I have provided code snippets (with possible syntax errors) providing the key elements below.
Public Class ConnProperties{
private String driver;
private String url;
private String username;
private String password;
public ConnProperties(){
setDriver(null);
setUrl(null);
setUsername(null);
setPassword(null);
}
... attribute getter and setter methods
}
Public Class ConnPropertiesInterface(){
public ConnPropertiesInterface(){
super();
}
public ConnProperties getProperties(String appID){
ConnProperties connProps = new ConnProperties();
... Get Connection Properties from configuration file based on
... appID, update ConnProperties object with returned
... values such as
connProps.setDriver(result.getString("driver"));
connProps.setUrl(result.getString("url");
return connProps;
}
}
From existing Perl applications I need to be able to ultimately call the getProperties() method within class ConnPropertiesInterface and to decompose the returned ConnProperties object attributes to be used for connecting to an Oracle database. I have generated a jar file of the existing Java classes so that existing Java applications can successfully call this same method, now I just need to do the same from existing Perl applications. Being very new to Perl programming I am not sure the most correct/efficient way to accomplish this task. Thanks ahead of time for your help/assistance.
