Using a Java class / jar

[Kaprice]

I have a java class that creates and combines PDFs.

If't in the WEB-INF/classes/lib folder

I've referenced it as an external resource in Form Properties.

Beyond that, I can't figure out how to use it.

Do I have to do an importPackage in my script?

Nothing I've tried seems to give my script access to any of the functionality of this class.

This is the code:

Code: Select all

importPackage(com.ebasetech.xi.api);
importPackage(com.ebasetech.xi.services);
importPackage(org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFMergerUtility);

 var merger = new PDFMergerUtility();

This is the error I'm getting:

com.ebasetech.ufs.runtime.events.rhinojavascript.JavascriptExecutionHandler$RhinoScriptException: Function importPackage must be called with a package; had "[JavaClass org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFMergerUtility]" instead. (MERGEPDFS#3)

And, if I remove the importPackage line, I get this error:

com.ebasetech.ufs.runtime.events.rhinojavascript.JavascriptExecutionHandler$RhinoScriptException: ReferenceError: "PDFMergerUtility" is not defined. (MERGEPDFS#5)

What am I missing?

Hi,

The error Message means that PDFMergerUtility is a class, not a package.

I think that

Code: Select all

importPackage(org.apache.pdfbox.util);

Will work.

WOOHOO! That did the trick. I haven't tested past that first line, but we're past the reference error, so this is great news.

Thank you so much!
