Bridge API to connect with existing Java APIs.
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/share/jdk1.6.0_30
$ npm install java- Install node.js from source (using: vcbuild.bat release)
- The directory where jvm.dll exists must be in the PATH. (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\jre\bin\client). This path cannot have quotes.
- Open a Visual Studio command prompt.
- Your Java must be the same architecture as node. By default on windows this is 32-bit.
$ set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\jre\bin\client
$ set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\
$ set NODE_HOME=C:\dev\node-v0.6.8-0
$ npm install java$ npm install javavar java = require("java");
java.classpath.push("commons-lang3-3.1.jar");
java.classpath.push("commons-io.jar");
var list = java.newInstanceSync("java.util.ArrayList");
java.newInstance("java.util.ArrayList", function(err, list) {
list.addSync("item1");
list.addSync("item2");
});
var ArrayList = java.import('java.util.ArrayList');
var list = new ArrayList();
list.addSync('item1');Loads the class given by className such that it acts and feels like a javascript object.
Arguments
- className - The name of the class to create. For subclasses seperate using a '$' (eg. com.nearinfinty.MyClass$SubClass)
Example
var Test = java.import('Test');
Test.someStaticMethodSync(5);
console.log(Test.someStaticField);
var test = new Test();
list.instanceMethodSync('item1');
java.newInstanceSync(className, [args...]) : result
Creates an instance of the specified class. If you are using the sync method an exception will be throw if an error occures, otherwise it will be the first argument in the callback.
Arguments
- className - The name of the class to create. For subclasses seperate using a '$' (eg. com.nearinfinty.MyClass$SubClass)
- callback(err, item) - Callback to be called when the class is created.
Example
var list = java.newInstanceSync("java.util.ArrayList");
java.newInstance("java.util.ArrayList", function(err, list) {
if(err) { console.error(err); return; }
// new list
});
java.callStaticMethodSync(className, methodName, [args...]) : result
Calls a static method on the specified class. If you are using the sync method an exception will be throw if an error occures, otherwise it will be the first argument in the callback.
Arguments
- className - The name of the class to call the method on. For subclasses seperate using a '$' (eg. com.nearinfinty.MyClass$SubClass)
- methodName - The name of the method to call.
- callback(err, item) - Callback to be called when the class is created.
Example
var result = java.callStaticMethodSync("com.nearinfinty.MyClass", "doSomething", 42, "test");
java.callStaticMethod("com.nearinfinty.MyClass", "doSomething", 42, "test", function(err, results) {
if(err) { console.error(err); return; }
// results from doSomething
});
Gets a static field value from the specified class.
Arguments
- className - The name of the class to get the value from. For subclasses seperate using a '$' (eg. com.nearinfinty.MyClass$SubClass)
- fieldName - The name of the field to get the value from.
Example
var data = java.getStaticFieldValue("com.nearinfinty.MyClass", "data");
Sets a static field value on the specified class.
Arguments
- className - The name of the class to set the value on. For subclasses seperate using a '$' (eg. com.nearinfinty.MyClass$SubClass)
- fieldName - The name of the field to set the value on.
- newValue - The new value to assign to the field.
Example
java.getStaticFieldValue("com.nearinfinty.MyClass", "data", "Hello World");
Creates a new java array of type class.
Arguments
- className - The name of the type of array elements. For subclasses seperate using a '$' (eg. com.nearinfinty.MyClass$SubClass)
- values - A javascript array of values to assign to the java array.
Example
var newArray = java.newArray("java.lang.String", ["item1", "item2", "item3"]);
Creates a new java byte. This is needed because javascript does not have the concept of a byte.
Arguments
- val - The value of the java byte.
Example
var b = java.newByte(12);
obj.methodNameSync([args...]) : result
Once you have a java object either by creating a new instance or as a result of a method call you can then call methods on that object. All public, non-static methods are exposed in synchronous and asynchronous flavors.
Arguments
- args - The arguments to pass to the method.
- callback(err, item) - Callback to be called when the method has completed.
Example
var list = java.newInstanceSync("java.util.ArrayList");
list.addSync("item1");
list.add("item2", function(err, result) {
if(err) { console.error(err); return; }
});
val = obj.fieldName
Once you have a java object either by creating a new instance or as a result of a method call you can get instance field values.
Example
var list = java.newInstanceSync("com.nearinfinty.MyClass");
list.data = "test";
var data = list.data;
