How to call java main(String[] args) from RPG

[mlopez01]

I'm getting a "class not found calling method "main" with signature ..." error when trying to call a java app that has a "main" method. I'm pretty sure it's because of the string array parameter. I don't think I'm prototyping it correctly.

This is the java main method signature:

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Has anyone accomplished this?

Thanks,
Mike

You need to set the CLASSPATH environment variable

[mlopez01]

I have. I pointed it to the .jar. It is an IFS folder and has no restrictions. I can run it with the "JAVA" command but not with the RPGLE pgm. Here's my prototype definition:

dcl-pr text2Png extproc(*java: 'com.qkd.TextToImage': 'main') static;
     args object(*java: 'java.lang.String') options(*varsize) dim(2);
end-pr;​

The successful "JAVA" command looks like this:

JAVA CLASS(com.qkd.TextToImage) PARM(MIKE '/landrive/mlopez/java/xxx.png') CLASSPATH('/landrive/mlopez/java/*')​

I found the problem. My class path had a semicolon, not colon. ".:/landrive/mlopez/Java/"
