This topic describes how to use the different signatures of the callScript
method to pass data from one script to another. The example uses two different
Functional Tester scripts:
TheCaller
,
which calls another script and passes parameters
TheCalled
,
which receives the parameters and prints them to System.out
TheCaller
script uses three different versions of the callScript
method:
Without additional
parameters: This is the default usage of the callScript
method, which will execute the specified script.
callScript("TheCalled");
With additional string array parameter: An array of strings is used to pass string parameters to the called script.
String[]
dataToPass = new String[4];
...
callScript("TheCalled",dataToPass);
With additional object array parameter: An array of objects is used to pass different object type parameters to the called script.
Object[]
objdataToPass = new Object[4];
...
callScript("TheCalled",objdataToPass);
The Caller
script was recorded as follows:
import resources TheCallerHelper;
/**
* Description : Functional Tester Script
* @author Administrator
*/
public class TheCaller extends TheCallerHelper
{
/**
* Script Name : <b>TheCaller</b>
* Generated : <b>Dec 17, 2002 8:47:45 PM</b>

*/
public void testMain (Object[] args)
{
callScript("TheCalled");
String[] dataToPass = new String[4];
dataToPass[0] = "this";
dataToPass[1] = "is";
dataToPass[2] = "really";
dataToPass[3] = "cool";
callScript("TheCalled",dataToPass);
Object[] objdataToPass = new Object[4];
objdataToPass[0] = new String("Thought the previous was cool?");
objdataToPass[1] = "Take this one!";
objdataToPass[2] = new Float(0.02);
objdataToPass[3] = new Integer(4711);
callScript("TheCalled",objdataToPass);
}
}
TheCalled
script uses a
simple loop to print the received parameters to System.out
:
import resources.TheCalledHelper;
/**
* Description : Functional Tester Script
* @author Administrator
*/
public class TheCalled extends TheCalledHelper
{
/**
* Script Name : <b>TheCalled</b>
* Generated : <b>Dec 17, 2002 8:48:12 PM</b>
* Modified : <b>Dec 17, 2002 8:48:12 PM</b>
* Description : Functional Tester Script

* @since 2002/12/17

*/
public void testMain (Object[] args)
{
if (args.length < 1)
{
System.out.println( "Expected at least 1 arg, but I got: "+args.length);
return;
}
else
{
System.out.println( "Got: "+args.length+" args");
};
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; ++i)
{
System.out.println( " arg["+i+"] = "+args[i]);
}
}
}
