Object reference to number

[dayneo]

Hi all,

I am new to Java and need some assistance. I am using java stored procedures in Oracle and need to convert an object reference in java to a number so that I can pass it back to Oracle for use further down the oracle stored procedure. See the following code for a rough idea of what I am trying to accomplish:

// Java
class jsp
{
static int GetObject()
{
  Object o = new Object();
  int ref = GetRef(o);
  return ref;
}

static void SetValue(int ref, string value)
{
  Object o = GetObject(ref);
  o.setProperty = value;
}
}

-- Oracle stored proc
create or replace procedure do_something as

  l_ohnd  number;

begin

  l_ohnd := jsp.GetObject();
  
  -- oracle code...

  jsp.SetValue(l_ohnd, 'new value');

end do_something;

I am struggling with the "GetRef" part.... :confused: I don't know how to accomplish it in Java. Any help or links would be appreciated...

Try to read some Java manual for beginners.

RTFM?
Which FM? I think for a java beginner, I am doing something a little more advanced. Google searches havn't given me anything even close yet... :(

Strange command "o.setProperty = value;"
No property name.

The point is not the syntax... I was really just writing pseudo code...
sure
o.setProperty(value);

But what I want is to get the handle to o as a number. Then be able to convert the number back to the java object instance o.
