[Php-java-bridge-users] trouble finding methods

[<php...@li...>]

When I run  a modified version of the Sales Tax example from the 
tutorial from the DSL lab  at the University of Woolengong it works 
fine.  But when I use the same code pattern for another more complex 
class I get a "No such mehtod" exceptions on very simple methods. 

I put the following test method into the class just to see if it would work:

        public String report() {
         
            String out ="collapse is here!";
             return out;
        }


I used the following PHP statements to call this method.


        java_require("c:\jarFactory\model1.8.jar");
        
        echo "require done <br/>";

        $model = new JavaClass("py.model.Collapse");
        
        echo (String) $model->report();

An error message was returned from the last statement that contained the 
following:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught [o(Exception):"java.lang.Exception: Invoke 
failed: [c(Collapse)]->report. Cause: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: 
report().


I added the method to the SalesTax class and the following code worked fine:

    java_require('c:\jarFactory\test1.2.jar');

    $salesTax = new Java("py.test.SalesTax");
   
    echo (String) $salesTax->report();

Looks like almost exactly the same code in both cases.   It looks like 
the bridge was able to find my Collapse class but not the report() 
method,  or any other method,  but the same code successfully calls  the 
report() method when it is added it to the SalesTax class. 

There has to be some difference in the jar files or the class structure 
that is causing the error. When I use a java main() to create and access 
my Collapse class everything in it works.  The bridge does not complain 
about not being able to find the jar file or the class.   There is only 
one copy of model1.8 jar on my machine, and when I look at it in the 
Eclipse package explorer the report() method is there.  I don't know 
where to look next to solve this problem.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  .

I am using Apache 2.0.61, PHP 5.1.6 and the 3.2.1a bridge on XP HOME SP2.

Thanks,
