Arrays in Arrays as COM Parameters

[Sebastian Heinrich]

Hello guys

I'm in the situation that I have to adapt the following line of VB Code to Java
oDefinitionManager.AddMaterial Array("NAME:stinkt", "CoordinateSystemType:=",  _
  "Cylindrical", Array("NAME:AttachedData"), Array("NAME:ModifierData"))

oDefinitionManager is then in Java with JACOB an ActiveXComponent and must pass String arrays in arrays.
I tried somethind like this
String var = {
                { "NAME:Material2" },
                { "dielectric_loss_tangent:=" }, { "44" },
                new String { "NAME:saturation_mag", "property_type:=", "AnisoProperty", "unit:=", "Gauss", "component1:=", "11", "component2:=",
                "22", "component3:=", "33" },
                { "delta_H:=" }, { "44Oe" } };
and some variations of it with Object and Variants but none of it worked. I tried it with
Dispatch.invokeSub(defMgr, "AddMaterial", Dispatch.Method, var, new int); and
Dispatch.call(defMgr, "AddMaterial",  var);

Does anybody tried to pass Arguments to a COM-Method that are arrays in arrays ?
Is it possible to map the VB Code (which, by the way works fine) to Java using JACOB ?

I hope this forum isn't already dead and someone finds the time to help me.

Hi again

I have now a solution to the problem above. Found it with try and error :

         String str1 = new String { { "NAME:saturation_mag" }, { "property_type:=" }, { "AnisoProperty" }, { "unit:=" }, { "Gauss" },
                            { "component1:=" }, { "11" }, { "component2:=" }, { "22" }, { "component3:=" }, { "33" } };
                    String str2 = new String { "delta_H:=" };
                   String str3 = new String { "44Oe" };
                    Object var1 = {
                            { "NAME:Material2" },
                            { "dielectric_loss_tangent:=" },
                            { "44" }, str2, str3,
                            { str1 }
                            };

No I have the problem that I want to do the same with an Array(Array(Array…))) structure. Until now the "try and error"-"System" did'nt leads to a working solution. Therefore I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks so far

Best regards
