Problem with cfobject calling java class

Question

hi there,
i have a small java class that takes 2 arguments in
(fileToRead & fileToWrite) and everything runs fine when i run
the class from the command line...
C:\>java csvParser fileToRead fileToWrite
however when i try to instantiate the class via cfobject like
so :
<cfobject type="Java" action="create" class="csvParser"
name="convert">
<cfset convert.init(#tmpfile#, "text.xml")>
it continuously throws the following error at me :
Unable to find a constructor for class csvParser that accepts
parameters of type ( java.lang.String, java.lang.String ).
any ideas ast to what i may be missing here...startin to
drive me batty.

C:\>java csvParser fileToRead fileToWrite
Suggests you passed arguments as args[0] and args[1] to the
method
public static void main(String[] args)
<cfobject type="Java" action="create" class="csvParser"
name="convert">
<cfset convert.init(#tmpfile#, "text.xml")>
Suggests the code for the class CSVParser has the following
constructor definition:
private String s1, s2;
CSVParser (String s1, String s2) {
this.s1=s1;
this.s2=s2;
This seems unlikely, in view of
"everything runs fine when i run the class from the command
line". One possibility is to convert the
public static void main method into, for example, the public
method
doThemFiles(String s1, String s2), not forgetting to include
the return-type in its signature. You could then run
<cfobject type="Java" action="create" class="csvParser"
name="convert">
<cfset convert.doThemFiles("#tmpfile#", "text.xml")>
