David, In the Imperius implementation, it seems to me that an SPL policy is parsed without looking at the corresponding anchor class, so the internal policy object generated after parsing actually does not carry the correct type information except for SPL collections which SPL language can describe correctly. Since the correct return type info of a method has to be determined by the anchor class anyway, why can't we just rely on the anchor class? This is just my thought and we can do more tests to find out if it really works.
Here are the anchor class and policy I used for test and it works for both simple byte type and array [] byte type. package com.ibm.watson.pml.bytearray; public class ByteArrayFactory { private byte x[]; private int y; public ByteArrayFactory(byte[] array) { x = array; } public byte[] getByteArray() { return x; } public boolean takeByteArray(byte[] barray) { return (barray[0] + barray[1] > 0 ? true : false); } // public byte getByteArray() { // return 3; // } // // public boolean takeByteArray(byte barray) { // return (barray > 0 ? true : false); // } public void setValueY(int value) { y = value; } } package com.ibm.watson.pml.bytearray; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Hashtable; import java.util.Map; import org.apache.imperius.javaspl.JavaActuatorImpl; import org.apache.imperius.javaspl.JavaDataCollectorImpl; import org.apache.imperius.javaspl.Java_SPLPolicyRuleProvider; import org.apache.imperius.spl.datastore.impl.PolicyParserImpl; import org.apache.imperius.spl.parser.exceptions.SPLException; import org.apache.imperius.spl.parser.util.ActuatorFactory; import org.apache.imperius.spl.parser.util.DataCollectorFactory; public class PolicyParser { final static String policy = "Import Class com.ibm.watson.pml.bytearray.ByteArrayFactory:baf;\n" + "Strategy Execute_All_Applicable;\n" + "Policy {\n" + "Condition { baf.takeByteArray(baf.getByteArray()) }\n" + "Decision { baf.setValueY(1) }\n" + "}:1;"; public static void main(String[] args) throws SPLException, IOException { // PolicyParserImpl imperiusParser = null; // // ActuatorFactory.registerActuator(new JavaActuatorImpl()); // DataCollectorFactory.registerDataCollector(new JavaDataCollectorImpl()); // // imperiusParser = PolicyParserImpl.getInstance(); // imperiusParser.createInternalPolicyObject("dummy", policy); // ///// Map objMap = new Hashtable(); byte array[] = {0, 1}; ByteArrayFactory baf = new ByteArrayFactory(array); objMap.put("baf", baf); Java_SPLPolicyRuleProvider jspl = Java_SPLPolicyRuleProvider.getInstance(); String policyName = "dummy"; try { jspl.deletePolicy(policyName); } catch(Exception e) { } boolean createReturn=jspl.createPolicy(policyName, policy); System.out.println("Policy Created : " + policyName +createReturn); System.out.println(""); Object result = jspl.executePolicy(policyName, objMap); System.out.println("Result is " + result); } } David Wood/Watson/i...@i BMUS To imperius-dev@incubator.apache.org 06/01/2009 10:10 cc AM imperius-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject Re: [jira] Updated: (IMPERIUS-28) Please respond to byte[] method return type does not imperius-...@incu match formal parameter bator.apache.org Xiping, As to change1, won't that cause other problems, won't? The fix essentially turns off type checking for array types, which will cause a different exception when an array is passed to a non-array, or vice versa. Is there a way to properly set the isArray bit on the input argument?

This is strictly a problem with the definition of the method's return type as indicated in the Java Class object. Somehow that definition is not being picked up as an array and instead just as a single byte. It _is_ getting the formal parameter definition correct (i.e. a byte[]).
