Thread Subject: Problem with calling / importing JAVA class

Hi,

I'm trying to import a java-class, which is sitting in a jar-file and fail miserably. Here is what I'm doing:

>> javaaddpath('d:\Matlab\JAVA\ODF_DOM\simple-odf-0.6.6.jar', '-end')
>> import org.odftoolkit.simple.*;

>> doc = SpreadsheetDocument.loadDocument('Test.ods');

The last call fails with ...
Undefined variable "SpreadsheetDocument" or class "SpreadsheetDocument.loadDocument".

I checked the following:
- The jar-file is sitting in the specified directory
- using "javaclasspath" I can see that the path was added tot he dynamic java path,
- browsing the archive I can see the "SpreadsheetDocument.class" file sitting in the (zipped) directory "org.odftoolkit.simple".

What am I missing?

Thanks

Sebastian

don't forget to use "clear java" or restart matlab(not necessary if u clear)....
u might also consider using static path for faster loading.

Why would I use "clear java" ?!

the documentation on adding java classes into MATLAB clearly states that if you are using static path, you must restart MATLAB, and if you are using dynamic path, you must refresh MATLAB. The only way to refresh MATLAB in this specific instance is either to use "clear java" at the command prompt or restart MATLAB.

I would advise if u are still having problem to use the static method, which is more stable.

Problem resolved,

the jar-archive had some dependencies on a second archive, which also needed to be added to the path. This was not clear from the documentation, but I figured it out after a while.

Thanks
