Passing reference to a function as a parameter?

Is it possible to pass a reference to a function as a parameter to a function in Java? If so, how would I do this?

Because references are indeed passed. By value. Think about itgeorge, doesnt the book say an address or a pointer is passed in? where did you get the idea that java passes references? NO! it does not! and nobody does! never!I said "think about it"
Don't tell me, we're mocked by valoo or some such rubbishyeah, think! the bits that are passed in represent an address or a pointer, NOT a reference! who or what passes a reference!
demock yourself!Bye bye, daffy

Adding a CM: Invalid length parameter passed to the RIGHT function. (CINF)

We started seeing this error message a week ago when attempting to add a Credit Memo. We only see this error message when entering Credit Memos and not any other finacial documents. I've done some preliminary research and haven't really come up with anything to point to the issue. Prior to reporting this to my support partner, I wanted to see if anybody here has seen this before or give me some ideas to look into the source of the issue.
Full error message: Microsoft SQL Native Client SQL Server Invalid length parameter passed to the RIGHT function. (CINF)

Checking the list of form ID's at [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/892] shows the A/R Credit Memo as 179 and the A/P Credit Memo as 181. This also corresponds with what I see when viewing the system information on the form.

Problem with empty report parameters when passed to PL/SQL function

Hi,
We have come across what appears to be a bug in the JRC. When passing a report parameter to a PL/SQL function as a parameter, empty parameters are changed before being sent to the function. More specifically, an empty string "" ends up as the value "(')" in the PL/SQL function parameter. In our report we print the report parameters on the first page so we know that the parameters are OK before being passed to the database.
The problem exists for version 12.2.203, 12.2.204 and 12.2.205 of the JRC.
We have identified a workaround, but it is not exactly elegant: Before executing the report we modify all empty parameters ("") to " " . In the PL/SQL function, we trim all parameters before using them.
We call the function using a command object with a sql syntax like this example:
select * from table (qa_batch_release.get_qa_br('{?p_report_id}','{?p_reg_set_number}','{?p_cr_number}','{?p_change_id_decode}','{?p_country_id}','{?p_mfg_item_no}','{?p_4_no}','{?p_5_no}','{?p_7_no}'))
The PL/SQL function is a table returning function.
Best regards, Thor

Hi Kishore,
using #COLUMN_VALUE# would probably not make much sense, because normally a report has multiple columns and not just the numeric column which you want to verify if it's negative. But APEX will fire the template condition for each column, because the report template is a column cell template.
What you can do to make it more generic is to use for example
#CHECK_AMOUNT#
in the template and provide a not displayed column in your SQL statement which contains your value which is named CHECK_AMOUNT. For example:
SELECT NAME
, BALANCE
, BALANCE AS CHECK_AMOUNT
FROM XXX;Because this CHECK_AMOUNT column would be a generic name, you can use this template in all your reports as long as you provide this column.
Thope that helps

How to pass strin in a function

Hi,
I have 1 function and the parameter is v1 varchar2(2000).
Now I am calling this function in Select query and I want to pass 'SME','DSP' string in a function parameter.How can I pass
Please help.
Regards
Anant

I have 1 function and the parameter is v1 varchar2(2000)A basic thing is that, you can not specify length in parameter specification. How can you say parameter is
VARCHAR2(200) ?
Post your function code and what you want to do clearly.

Passing values to a function

Hi, i'm new to Coldfusion, and i'm a little confused in
regards to passing parameters to a function using
<cfinvokeargument>. My question is: Does the name of
parameter in the cfinvokearguments have to be the same name as the
cfargument name that you're passing the value to? Because that
seems to go against the whole "black box" thing i was taught. And
is there a way to pass the values without having to have to know
the name of the variables in the function?

If you are passing variables to the function then yes the
names need to be the same. There are ways around this which goes to
your second question about passing variables without knowing the
name. (see
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001056.htm)
As an example I have a document that I want to index and some
indexes will be filled out by the user and some will not so how
would I be able to tell which vars are passed to the
function….So I would loop the Indexes assigned to the
document and check to see if they were passed to the CFC doing
something like this...
EXAMPLE:
<cfquery name="getDocIndexes_rs"
... this is a query to the get the document's indexes ....
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="getDocIndexes_rs">

<cfif
isDefined("arguments.Index#getDocIndexes_rs.IndexID#")>

<cfset IndexValue =
arguments["Index"&getDocIndexes_rs.DMIndexID]>

Ok that was probably a bit much so to simplify this here....
When I sent the variables to the function I did not use the
cfargument to specify the name(s) because I have no idea what they
were at the time.
As an example for yourself pass a variable to a function
using the cfinvokeargument but do not use the cfargument tag. Then
return the variable by doing this.

<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="myFunction" access="public"
returntype="string">
<cfset myResult= arguments.testvar>
<cfreturn myResult>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

<cfinvoke component="YourPath.testreturn"
method="myFunction" returnvariable="myResult">
<cfinvokeargument name="testvar" value="HELLO">
</cfinvoke>
<cfoutput>#myResult#</cfoutput>
Hope that wasn’t confusing enough for you...I am tired
so that is my excuse and this is the best I can do at the moment.

Passing Select-option to Function Module

Hi ,
I want to pass a select-option directly to the function Module tables parameter . Can anyone highlight on how i can declare the table in Function module side .
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Hi.
In the TABLES tab of the specific FM ,
give the parameter name ( which u have defined as Select options ). Since select options is like an Internal Table with values sign,option,low and high , u can give it here.
Also give the ref. type and type specification.
Pl try this.
Thanks,

Is it possible in java to pass reference of object in Java?

Hello,
I'm relativily new to Java but I have "solid" knowledge in C+ and C# .NET+.
Is it possible in java to pass reference of object in Java? I read some articles about weakreferences, softreferences, etc. but it seems that it's not what I'm looking for.
Here is a little piece of code I wrote:
package Software;
import java.util.Random;
* @author Rodrigue
public class RandomText
    private Random rand = new Random();
    private Thread t;
    private String rText = "Rodrigue";
    public RandomText()
        t = new Thread()
            @Override
            public void run()
                try
                    while(true)
                        UpdateText();
                        sleep(100);
                catch(InterruptedException ex)
        t.start();
    private void UpdateText()
        int i = rand.nextInt();
        synchronized (rText)
            rText = String.valueOf(i);
    public String GetText()
        return rText;
}It's just a class which start a thread. This class updates a text with a random integer 10 times per second.
I would like to get a reference on the String rText (like in C++ ;) yes I know, I must think in Java :D). So, like that, I could get one time the reference, thanks to the GetText function, and update the text when my application will repaint. Otherwise, I always have to call the GetText method ... which is slow, no?
Are objects passed by reference in java? Or, my string is duplicated each time?
Thank you very much in advance!

Ok, "Everything in Java is passed by value. Objects, however, are never passed at all.". Reference of object is passed by value too.
But, how to solve my problem in Java_? I have an object which is continually modified in a thread. From an another side, this object is continually repainted in a form.I'm not sure I totally understand your problem. If you pass a reference to an object, then both the caller and the method point to the same object. Changing the internal state of the object (e.g. by calling a setter method) through one reference will be observed through both references, since they both point to the same object.
No, calling a method is not particularly slow. Especially if it's just a simple getter method that returns the value of a member variable.
If this is happening in a multithreaded context, you'll have to use proper synchronization to ensure that each thread sees the others' changes.

Class overhead, function overhead and parameter overhead

Hi all,
I am interested in class overhead, function overhead (each function in a class) and parameter overhead (each parameter in function).
I saw somewhere that class overhead are 200 bytes.
Is it wise to give up on class and go for functional programming? (Only classes required to run the j2me app are created and nothing else)
How does function get called? Does it work like a stack? Where each parameters get pushed into the stack and later on pop out when control pass on to the function?
If your program is full of functions doesn't this make it very processor intensive?
What is the best solution?
Thanks in advance!

Hallo,
silly question: but what exactly do you mean when you say "full of attributes and methods that will never be used for this instance"?
I assume that when you have created your class you thought about the attributes and methods you wanted to include, and have not included any unnecessary baggage. I can only think that, perhaps, you have a class X that you would like to reuse, because it does all that you want. The only problem is that, for your specific problem, it carries a lot of excess baggage with it. You only need a few of the attributes and methods. Am I correct?
Such a class reuse will certainly incur some overheads, but let us try to analyse where they are:
1. Extra Code. The 'big' class is already defined and probably already loaded, so there should not be any overheads for the code.
2. Extra Data. Certainly creating a new instance of the 'big' class will require more memory. The question is how big is 'big' class, and how many instances do you want to create or have in existance at any one time? If the class is less than a few kB big and you only need a few instances at any one time, then you can afford to ignore the overhead.
3. Performance. Every time that you create an instance of the 'big' class, the processor must do some work to initialize it. The question is, what is required to initialize the class? This depends on what is in the constructor.
4. Programmer Time. If there is an existing class, then it will (probably, depending on documentation) take less time to reuse the class
than to write another, streamlined class. Someone else will already (hopefully) have debugged the 'big' class.
I think my view would be to reuse 'big' class unless there good grounds not to do so (see above). Your time is more important than a few overheads.

Whats the difference betweeen passing the table variable and table valued parameter?

Hi Everbody
Can someone one tell me what's the difference between passing a table variable and table valued parameter to a stored procedure or function? Can both be used to pass a table to a stored procedure/function?
Regards
Regards

They are essentially the same. What we call a table variable is a local
variable. A table-valued parameter is an incoming parameter to the
procedure. The only difference is that the parameter is readonly.
When you call a stored procedure, you can pass a table variable as the
actual parameter. Or a table-valued parameter that you pass on.

EXIT.
The query is on the field VALUE3                    = '1,2,5,6' , is the format correct. If this is not right could someone please suggest the correct approach.
thanks

Hi Balaji,
as that is parameter you can use at a time only one value..
if you check in that FM we have other parameters VALUE1 to VALUE10..
why don't you use those...
Thanks!

The 'argumentname' argument passed to the 'Methodename 'function is not of type 'Dto name'

Hi, there!
Sr for that question, because it should be pretty easy to answer, but i'm totally new to coldfusion
and googled for about an hour now. I have a orm DTO.cfc:
<cfcomponent entityname="testDTO" persistent="true" table="test" schema="informix" output="false">
    
</cfcomponent>
and have a service Methode in test.cfc
    
    <cffunction name="createTest" returntype="testDTO" access="remote">
        <cfargument name="item" type="testDTO" required="true" />
        
        <cfset entitysave(item) />
        
        <cfreturn item/>
    </cffunction>
i try to call via the the <cfInvoke>-Tag
<cfset lieferant = entityNew('test')>
<cfinvoke
    component="#request.componentbase#.test"
    method="createTest"
    item="#test#"
    returnvariable="test">
but the error
'The ITEM argument passed to the createLieferant function is not of type testDTO.'
appears on function call. I just can't find a way to tell cf that lieferant is of type testDTO.
When i type the methodes parameter to struct the methode call works well.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Florian

I'm assuming your extract there isn't quite right:
<cfset lieferant = entityNew('test')>
<cfinvoke
    component="#request.componentbase#.test"
    method="createTest"
    item="#test#"
    returnvariable="test">
You're doing item="#test#", surely this should be item="#lieferant#"?
In which case, you've done <cfset lieferant = entityNew('test')>, which is of type "test", not "testDTO"?
If you're still having trouble, remove the item="" attribute from CFINVOKE and use CFINVOKEARGUMENTs instead.

How to pass joint in a function

hi,
i want to pass Right Hand joint in a function and want to store last 5 position of joint in an point array. but when i pass the joint as below :-
Point point = ExponentialWeightedAvg(Joint HandRight)
it tells that joint is a type not a variable.
so,
how can i pass right hand joint and do some calculations.
thanks !!

The syntax you wrote is incorrect. As with any programming language, you should be familiar how to write the correct syntax in the language of choice, since that would be a pre-requisite for using the SDK.
We already provide a BodyBasics sample that demonstrates how you can pass joint information to other functions. The key will be to get the joint position and pass that to the function you want:
CameraSpacePoint position = joints[JointType.HandRight].Position;
