Imported classes sometimes not supported

[Julien]

Hi.

I try to use an established linear programming library, GLPK for JAVA, into a script. After copying the jar files containing the GLPK classes in the ScriptingLibs directory, I faced the following problem: a Quantrix script does not support imported classes with a name beginning with a small letter (org.gnu.glpk.glp_prob for instance). The model and jar files attached to this post illustrate the problem.

I guess this is a feature of the groovy language, and can only be corrected by renaming the classes in the next release of glpk for java. Is it correct?

Best regards,

Julien

Hi Julien,

See this thread on the Groovy forums:

It looks like you can get around this by creating aliases for the problem class names and applying traditional capitalization to those aliases. For example, if I adjust your "testsmall" function to the following, it runs correctly:

import testSmall.test_class as Test_class

String testsmall(){
	
	Test_class data = new Test_class()
	
	return "OK"

}

Not exactly elegant, but this appears to be the current workaround, and seems a little easier than renaming library classes at least. Hope it helps.

Regards,
Ben
