Problem with iText pdfwriter.getinstance

[davisty]

Hello,

Im trying to use the itext pdfwriter.get instance but it comes back with nosuch method error. I was hoping someone could help me out.

I think my signature is wrong but I cant seem to eyeball it.

Message . . . . : Java exception received when calling Java method (C G D
F).
Cause . . . . . :
Java exception "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
com/itextpdf/text/pdf/PdfWriter.getInstance(Lcom/itextpdf/text/Document"
when calling method "getInstance" with signature
"(Lcom.itextpdf.text.Document;Ljava.io.FileOutputS treamV" in class
"com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter".

My class assignment is below:

D PdfWriter       S               O   CLASS(*JAVA               
D                                     :'com.itextpdf.text.pdf-  
D                                     .PdfWriter')

This is my method definition

D PdfWriterGetInstanse...                                                
D                 PR                  EXTPROC(*JAVA                      
D                                     :'com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter' 
D                                     :'getInstance')                    
D pdfDocument                         like(iTextDocument)                
D fileOutPutStream...                                                    
D                                     like(FileOutputStream)

And my useage

aString = new_String('/tmp/pdftest.pdf');       
fos = new_FileOutputStream(aString);            
pdfwtr = new_PdfWriter;                         
                                                
newdoc = new_ITextDocument;                     
PdfWriterGetInstanse(pdfwtr: newdoc: fos);     *getting nosuchmethod here

Thank You

Re: Problem with iText pdfwriter.getinstance

double check the method (prototype),, specially return type

Re: Problem with iText pdfwriter.getinstance

Never mind I found it. I had as a signature the FileoutputStream class. Instead of the Output Stream class. Chnaged that and it worked ...

You da man ...
