All,
Here is a real problem I have encountered using TclBlend. I wanted to call a Java
class that
required a long as input (It was a license control class that had a long key as
input.). However,
there seems to be no way to cause an integer that is bigger than what can be
represented in C to be
converted. Here is the integer I needed to
convert: -2398461842900206033. What I get is a message that states, "integer value
too large to
represent."
To test this I constructed a simple Java example that had a method that expected a
long and tried to
call it like this:
% java::call LongTest {test long} -2398461842900206033
integer value too large to represent
What I did to solve the problem was to create a simple Java wrapper class that
accepted a string as
input and converted it to a long and called the Java class I needed to call from
inside the wrapper.
Is there a better solution? If not, should there be?
Thanks,
Dan
