Hi!
I'm working with some java classes in MX, and am hoping I can do what I
need to do without writing a wrapper class or CFX, but have run across a
problem..
I'm working with Inktomi Enterprise Search and the XPA Search java
interface to the search engine.
I'm trying to write a CFC that will allow me to manage search
collections.
The problem is, I need to cast a java object that I get returned to a
different type. Javacast() does not handle this sort of thing, and I'm
wondering if there is some other way to cast object types?
I'm getting returned an object of type "UltraseekCollection", but I need
to cast it to "SpiderCollection" to access the method "addURL".
"SpiderCollection" is a subclass of "UltraseekCollection".
I'm getting a "method not found" error, as expected, as the method
"addURL" doesn't exist in UltraseekCollection.
The code is something like this:
<cfscript>
// create the server object
SearchServer =
createObject("java","com.ultraseek.xpa.server.UltraseekServer");
// call the constructor
SearchServer.init("hostname","port");
// get my searchcollection - this returns an object of type
"UltraseekCollection"
SearchCollection = SearchServer.getSearchCollection("collectionname");
// now, I want to add a url, but this only can be done with a
"SpiderCollection"
Success = SearchCollection.addURL("http://www.bob.com/bob.html";);
</cfscript>
Any ideas? I'm guessing that I probably can't do this, though.
Thanks in Advance!
