Net.Data Language Environment Reference

Creating and Running the Macro File

After you have created the Java function, defined the cliette class, and configured Net.Data, you can run the macro file containing references to the Java function.

1. Create a macro file that calls your Java functions. For example, the function call, myfctcall calls the sample function provided with Net.Data, using the cliette DTW_JAVAPPS.

   %function (DTW_JAVAPPS) myfctcall( ....parameters from macro file ....)
    
   %{ to call the sample provided with Net.Data %}
   %function (DTW_JAVAPPS) reverse_linel(str);
    
   %HTML(report){
   you should see the string "Hello World" in reverse.
   @reverse_line("Hello World")
   You should have the result of your function call.
   @myfctcall( ... ....)
   %}
   

2. Start the Connection Manager. See the performance chapter of Net.Data Administration and Programming Guide for more information about Connection Manager.

3. Launch the macro and invoke Net.Data using an HTML link, HTML form, or URL statement. For example, invoke the Net.Data macro file, mymacro.d2w, with the following URL statement:

   http://myserver/cgi-bin/dt2www/mymacro.d2w/report
