Getting the value of a string object

[Clarky]

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and new to calling Java from RPG. I just started a new project to integrate our legacy system to a tax calculation package that is written in Java.

I currently have the call setup to one of their methods. It accepts a string object containing XML. It returns a string object with the XML response.

My question is how do I get the contents of that string object into an RPG string so I can analyze it?

Thanks in advance,

John

Re: Getting the value of a string object

There's probably a few ways to do it. One is to call the java "getbytes" method.

* Prototype for Java String's getBytes method  
d Java_ConvertToBytes...                           
d                 PR         65535A   EXTPROC(*JAVA:                       
d                                             'java.lang.String':          
d                                             'getBytes')                  
d                                     Varying                 

  /free

   MyRpgString = Java_ConvertToBytes( JavaString );
