Generated Files for Java Call-In
The signatures of Uniface components with a Java call-in implementation are used to generate Java files that enable the Uniface components to be treated as Java objects.
Uniface's Java code generator is invoked using the /sto /lan=java
instruction on the Uniface command line. For more information, see Generating and Compiling Java Wrapper Files
Generated Files
Generated File | Description |
---|---|
ComponentName.java |
Java source for the component wrapper class generated from the Uniface component signature. It contains methods for the component's public operations. |
ComponentNameBean.java | Java source for the JavaBean class that acts as a wrapper for the
ComponentName.java class.
|
ComponentNameBeanBeanInfo.java |
Source for the JavaBean’s BeanInfo class, which contains additional information about the Bean. It describes the properties of the Bean, and how to handle them, and associates icons with the Bean for display purposes. These icons are used by the development environment to visually show the Bean. |

Icon files for the JavaBeans |
FileName.bat | Batch file to compile the .java source files into .class files and
package them in a Java archive file named FileName.jar.
Note: To use the batch file, the Java SDK must be
installed, and its \bin listed in the Windows |
FileName.mf | Manifest file used to by the .jar file builder to identify the contents of the .jar file. |
Uniface and JavaBeans
The generated JavaBeans for Uniface components can be used during development to defer instantiation of the class to the moment one of its methods is called, and to add properties to the component, which can be manipulated at development time.
