%Class Special Method

This method is used with a connection object to create a reference to a class object on the language server. The %Static method is a synonym for the %Class method.

Syntax

%Class(Class)

Syntax Elements

Class The Java class name to create a reference to.

Examples

Var = %Class(Integer)->MAX_VALUE

Return the static fields MAX_VALUE of the Integer class. This is equivalent to the Java syntax

int Var = Integer.MAX_VALUE;

The class reference can be saved in a DBO:

Int = SecondCon->%Class(Integer)
Var = Int->MAX_VALUE

Save a reference to the class Integer to be used later (in this case in the “Var =” line)

Notes

The %Class method can be used with any class, but it is essential to provide access to static fields and methods in classes that do not have a constructor.
