Name

jvm_ref_import — Creates XML description of Java class

Synopsis

varchar jvm_ref_import ( in files any ,
in classes any );

Description

This function will returns an XML description of the selected classes from the source files.

The XML produced by the JVM_REF_IMPORT can be supplied to the predefined XSL style sheet __javavm_type to produce the CREATE TYPE statements:

select xslt ('__javavm_type', xml_tree_doc (JVM_REF_IMPORT (files, classes)));

This can also be achieve directly using a single call to:

IMPORT_JAR (in files any, in classes any)

Parameters

files

Null, string or vector of strings. This can contain one or many Java .class files, .zip or .jar files to pick classes from. Null means only the classes specified in the classes argument regardless of their physical location.

classes

Wildcard string or a vector of strings specifying which classes to describe in the resulting XML.

Return Types

A varchar of XML that describes the selected Java classes.

Examples

Example24.200.Simple Use

JVM_REF_IMPORT (NULL, vector ('java.lang.Object', 'java.lang.System'));

This will return an XML describing the Java classes java.lang.Object and java.lang.System. Because the java.lang.System class is a subclass of java.lang.Object the XML description for java.lang.System will contain a reference to java.lang.Object and only the methods/members defined in java.lang.System (because the methods/members of java.lang.Object will be inherited).

JVM_REF_IMPORT (NULL, 'java.lang.System');

As opposed to the above example this will create an XML description only for the java.lang.System class, but will also add the inherited methods/members (from java.lang.Object) as if they were methods/members of the java.lang.System class.
