To return more than one column value in a single UserFunction#call, you can create a "container" Value object and place all your returned columns into it. For example, your #call method could return: 1) A plain-old-java Iterator/array/Collection, etc. (RU.EXTERNAL_ADDRESS) that contains your columns as plain-old-java-objects. 2) A List (RU.LIST) 3) A multi-slot (RU.MULTISLOT) If you need to return more than one row per #call, you can have your user function return a row Iterator/Collection (RU.EXTERNAL_ADDRESS) that contains nested columns of Object values. Or, you can return your JDBC RowSet object as an RU.EXTERNAL_ADDRESS. alan __________________ Bleib immer locker

Meanwhile as I mentioned earlier I want to work with a Mysql database. I have managed to connect to the data base using a Userfunction and insert values in a table. How would I be able to return multiple values of different types (eg. a client record - client id, name, address etc) to my Jess program without using multiple userfunctions (one for each value) after retrieving the values from the database.

Well, I don't know. I was curious enough to take your code and run it. It works for me with your "test.java" exactly as shown (adding an "import jess.*", of course), and with a few lines of initialization added to the Jess code. I can select something from the combo box, press the button, and get that thing printed. Because Jess 7 includes some changes in how Context works, I tried this with both Jess 6 and 7; it works with both. Here's my complete Jess program: ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (load-function test) (import javax.swing.*) (defglobal ?*argcombo* = (new JComboBox (create$ A B C))) (defg! lobal ?*ok* = (new JButton OK)) (bind ?frame (new JFrame)) ((?frame getContentPane) add ?*ok* "South") ((?frame getContentPane) add ?*argcombo* "Center") (?frame pack) (?frame setVisible TRUE) (deffunction inputstring (?EVENT) (bind ?arg (sym-cat (?*argcombo* getSelectedItem))) (compute ?text ?arg) (printout t ?text)) (bind ?handler (new jess.awt.ActionListener inputstring(engine))) (?*ok* addActionListener ?handler) --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list(use your own address!)
