how to access Enum/Value in gel script thats defined in java.net.Proxy.Type.HTTP?

[robert walker]

hi all, sorry if this is the not right place to ask a gel question

can someone tell me if they know how to access a java core lib like   java.net.Proxy.Type   in gel?

i want to do this in gel
InetSocketAddress addr = new InetSocketAddress("http://proxy.com", 80); Proxy httpProxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, addr); URL url = new URL("http://restfulurl.com"); HttpURLConnection con = url.openConnection( httpProxy );​so i tried this, but can't get access to the enum   java.net.Proxy.Type or one of it's values    java.net.Proxy.Type.HTTP
<j:new className="java.net.InetSocketAddress" var="addr"> <j:arg type="java.lang.String" value="http://proxy.com"/> <j:arg type="java.lang.Integer" value="80"/> </j:new> <j:new className="java.net.Proxy" var="httpProxy"> <j:arg type="java.net.Proxy.Type" value="java.net.Proxy.Type.HTTP"/> <j:arg type="java.net.InetSocketAddress" value="${addr}"/> </j:new>​
it complains about  ClassNotFoundException: java.net.Proxy.Type  which is understandable.  its almost like i need a  gel tag   thats like
core:invokeStatic   but of course   java.net.Proxy.Type.HTTP  is not a static var  but a java.lang.Enum   

thanks all for any help you may be!

Try this:

<core:new var="inetSocketAddress" className="java.net.InetSocketAddress" >
<core:arg type="java.lang.String" value="${proxyServer}" />
<core:arg type="int" value="${proxyPort}" />
</core:new>

<core:invokeStatic var="proxyType" className="java.lang.Class" method="forName">
<core:arg type="java.lang.String" value="java.net.Proxy$Type"/>
</core:invokeStatic>
<core:set value="${proxyType.getField('HTTP')}" var="proxyTypeHTTP" />
<core:set value="${proxyTypeHTTP.HTTP}" var="proxyTypeHTTP" />

<core:new var="proxy" className="java.net.Proxy" >
<core:arg value="${proxyTypeHTTP}" />
<core:arg type="java.net.InetSocketAddress" value="${inetSocketAddress}" />
</core:new>

<core:invoke var="restConnection" on="${restUrl}" method="openConnection">
<core:arg type="java.net.Proxy" value="${proxy}" />
</core:invoke>
