getClass method (LotusScript® Language)

This method returns a reference to a Java™ class.

Defined in

JavaSession

Syntax

Set JavaClass = javasession .getClass( ClassName $ )

Parameters

ClassName$

String. The name of the class you would like to retrieve. For example, "java/lang/Integer."

Usage

This method will return a Java™ class reference with which a Java™ object can be created within LotusScript®.

Note: There are 2 ways you can represent a String class:

java.lang.String

example: set MyClass = Session.getClass("java.lang.String")

java/lang/String

example: set MyClass = Session.getClass("java/lang/String")

When you use the dot "." notation on the Macintosh, the Mac will return an error that the Class cannot be found. Instead, use the slash "/" notation. The slash "/" notation works on all platforms. Use the slash "/" notation in your applications for multi-platform support.

The nested class name has $ as a separator for nested classes.

Error thrown

"JavaClassNotFound" is thrown if the Java™ class cannot be located.
