Method Detail

getTosObj

public static STosObj getTosObj(java.lang.Object[] args,
                                int index)
                         throws STypeException

Tries to cast one of the elements in the args array into an STosObj.

Parameters:

args - Array of STObj that is tipically the array of arguments passed to a Tea function.

index - Index into the args array of the element to fetch.

Returns:

The element at the index position of the args array.

Throws:

com.pdmfc.tea.runtime.STTypeException - Throw if the element at the index position of the args array is not an STosObj.

STypeException

getClass

public static STosClass getClass(SContext context,
                                 java.lang.Object[] args,
                                 int index)
                          throws STeaException

Retrieves an STosClass object. This is referenced by args[index], which is either the STosClass object we are looking for or a symbol. In this later case there should be a variable referenced by that symbol containing the STosClass.

Parameters:

context - The context where we will look for a variable, if necessary.

args - Array of to a function or method call.

index - An index into the args array.

Throws:

com.pdmfc.tea.modules.tos.STosNoSuchClassException - Thrown if the STosClass object could not be retrieved.

STeaException

getClass

public static STosClass getClass(SContext context,
                                 SObjSymbol className)
                          throws STeaException

Fetches a class object.

Parameters:

context - Context where the class will be searched and its constructor invoked.

className - Symbol identifying the class.

Throws:

STeaException

newInstance

public static STosObj newInstance(SObjSymbol className,
                                  SContext context,
                                  java.lang.Object[] constructorArgs)
                           throws STeaException

Throws:

STeaException

newInstance

public static STosObj newInstance(SObjSymbol className,
                                  SContext context)
                           throws STeaException
