Calling importClass(RhapsodyAppServer) with rhapsody.jar and rhapsody.dll

[Colin Coates]

Dear All,

I am trying to use Rhino to script the Rhapsody UML tool. The Rhapsody
API is exposed using JNI, through a combination of rhapsody.jar and
rhapsody.dll (on the Microsoft Windows platform). I written a simple
script called "test.js", which contains the following code:

//------------------------------------------------------------
importClass(java.lang.System);

// Load the native library from its locally installed location
System.load("c:/telelogic/rhapsody7.3/share/JavaAPI/rhapsody.dll");

importClass(com.telelogic.rhapsody.core.RhapsodyAppServer);
var ras = new RhapsodyAppServer();
//------------------------------------------------------------

I invoke this script from the command line by typing:
java -cp c:/telelogic/rhapsody7.3/share/JavaAPI/rhapsody.jar -jar js.jar
test.js

I get the error message:
js: Function importClass must be called with a class; had "[JavaPackage
com.telelogic.rhapsody.core.RhapsodyAppServer]" instead.

I have also tried invoking the script with the following command line:
java -cp c:/telelogic/rhapsody7.3/share/JavaAPI/rhapsody.jar
-Djava.library.path=c:/telelogic/rhapsody7.3/share/JavaAPI/ -jar js.jar
test.js

... which results in the same error message.

Please will anyone help me with a suggestion about what I might be doing
wrong?

Kind Regards,
Colin

The problem is that the "-jar" option overrides the classpath from the
"-cp" option. Try adding js.jar to your classpath and explicitly
naming the main class org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main.
