CF Summit notes - Java Integration, Dave Gallerizzo
October 29, 2013
Dave's talk was fascinating! He really knows his stuff, and I found myself getting sucked into watching the code samples and just listening to him, so I didn't end up taking very many notes. But here's what I was able to scribble down in between gazes of awe. :)
Java Integration -- Dave Gallerizzo
A .JAR is nothing more than a ZIP file
you can open them with WinRar to look at the contents
ssce.jar -- spellchecker, as an example
in the zip/jar
com folder
then winter tree / ssce folder
then Lexicon.class
but you HAVE to know the namespace (half the time this is usually just the directory structure above)
then can CFdump jLex to see the methods inside the class file, etc.
...if you don't have a good set of docs, you'll have to do that to figure out what's inside the class files
...about half the time, this is what you have to do
it's easier if you have access to the .java files
