Using reflector to call a method on an objectRef

Question

hey all! i have the following code to call a function to the objectRef that i keep in an array (jobServers) ...
//   jobServers[0].objServerRef.addService(theCallbackObjectRef, number, jobServers);
           Class c = Class.forName("WorkflowFramework.Job");
           System.out.println(jobServers[0].functionName);
           Method meth = c.getMethod(jobServers[0].functionName);
           meth.invoke(jobServers[0].objServerRef, theCallbackObjectRef, number, jobServers);
but i get the following error :
addService
FileClient Error: WorkflowFramework.Job.addService()
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: WorkflowFramework.Job.addService()
at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Unknown Source)
at Client.main(Client.java:123)
in the first line i print the name of the function (addService) that i want to be called, and it is correct. Then i see that the function is called on the WorkflowFramework.Job and not on the jobServers[0].objServerRef which is an object of instanse Job.
The addService function exists there because the declaration that is now in commends is running just fine if i take out the commends..
Do you think the problem lies in the fact that Job is actually an interface declared like :
//the job interface to enable client to choose services.
public interface Job extends JobOperations, org.omg.CORBA.Object, org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity
} // interface Job
the addService function is declared in the JobOperations...
any help plzzz?

Answer 1

well.. you are kind of right...
i write them as a struct in the IDL and the it is
automatically transformed in the following java Class
public final class lineArrayServers implements
org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity
public WorkflowFramework.Job objServerRef = null;
public String functionName = null;
public lineArrayServers ()
} // ctor
public lineArrayServers (WorkflowFramework.Job
_objServerRef, String _functionName)
objServerRef = _objServerRef;
functionName = _functionName;
} // ctorand then i wrap it in an array of these.. the
jobServers...aha. so struct is an IDL construct in this case. I've never written any IDL, but I have written 'C', hence the confusion!
thanks
