Re: [basex-talk] Fwd: FW: java binding passing variables

[Andy Bunce]

Glad it works for you. Regarding the 4 arguments I think this is a version
thing. I downloaded v1.6 which can take 1, 3 or 4 arguments [1]

public String 
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true>
toUnicode(String
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true>
str,
                        List
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/List.html?is-external=true><String
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true>>
warns,
                        boolean sloppy,
                        boolean lenient)

Below is a slightly cleaner version of the code. The BaseX wiki has a lot
of good information on Java bindings [2]

import module namespace bdrc = "java:io.bdrc.ewtsconverter.EwtsConverter";
declare namespace list = "java:java.util.ArrayList";

let $roman := "bk ra shi se bde hh legs"

let $warns:=list:new()
let $result:=bdrc:toUnicode($roman,$warns,false())
let $warns:=list:toArray($warns )
return map{"result": $result,
           "warn": $warns
         }
