Using Script Libraries with LS2J

This demonstrates how you might create your own Java Script Library and include it in your LotusScript® application using LS2J.

  1. Create a Java Script Library called xlib containing the following:
     public class calculator {
    	public int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
    	public int div(int a, int b) { return a / b; }
    	public int mul(int a, int b) { return a * b; }
    	public int sub(int a, int b) { return a - b; }
    } 
  2. Create a LotusScript® Agent which uses the library
    Option Public
    Use "xlib"
    Uselsx "*javacon" 
    
    Sub Initialize
    	Dim mySession  As JavaSession
    	Dim myClass As JavaClass
    	Dim calculator As JavaObject
    	Dim a,b,c As Integer
    	Set mySession = New JavaSession()
    	Set myClass = mySession.GetClass("calculator")
    	Set calculator = myClass.CreateObject()
    	a = 10
    	b = 5
    	c = calculator.mul(a,b)
    	MessageBox "a * b = " & c 
    End Sub      

Run the program. The answer is 50.

Description of the USE statement

The syntax of the LotusScript® USE statement is:

USE <script_library>

The Use statement examines the type of the Script Library. If the Script Library contains LotusScript®, processing proceeds as before. If the Script Library contains Java classes, the contained Java classes are available to the LotusScript® program by using LS2J.

Note: The restriction on using the LotusScript® "Use" statement to incorporate a Script Library containing Java has been lifted.
