Re: [jira] Updated: (IMPERIUS-28) byte[] method return type does not match formal parameter

Xiping,

As to change1, won't that cause other problems, won't?  The fix 
essentially turns off type checking for array types, which will cause a 
different exception when an array is passed to a non-array, or vice versa. 
 Is there a way to properly set the isArray bit on the input argument?

After investigation, I think this problem can probably be fixed by 
changing the following two places in AnchorMethodInvokeAction,java
I've tested my local changes and it works, but not sure if there will be

Hi Neeraj,

You are right, but the flag gets set when a policy is parsed without 
looking at the corresponding anchor class. A mismatch could occur at 
evaluation time depending the return type of a method,

Hey guys,

There is an isArray variable that gets set automatically  based on 
reflection. There must be some other issue involved here

Let's take a look at the line in red in the policy you provided. In you 
example, you have getByteArray() method that returns a byte[] return type. 

Assume I add another method to the anchor class with the same name but 
renturns a byte type. How do you write a SPL policy to distinguish between 

these two?

Import Class com.ibm.watson.pml.bytearray.ByteArrayFactory:baf;
Strategy Execute_All_Applicable;
Policy {
Condition { baf.takeByteArray(baf.getByteArray()) }
Decision { ReturnValue(\"OK\") }
}:1;

I don't think this is an SPL specification issue.  This is strictly a 
problem with the definition of the method's return type as indicated in 
the Java Class object.  Somehow that definition is not being picked up as 
an array and instead just as a single byte.  It _is_ getting the formal 
parameter definition correct (i.e. a byte[]).

David,

It seems to me that Imperius is not capable of handling array return type 
because the SPL does not distinguish between primitive return type and 
array return type syntactically.

Re: [jira] Updated: (IMPERIUS-28) byte[] method return type does not match formal parameter

Posted by Xiping Wang <xi...@us.ibm.com>.
David,

In the Imperius implementation, it seems to me that an SPL policy is parsed
without looking at the corresponding anchor class, so the internal policy
object generated after parsing actually does not carry the correct type
information except for SPL collections which SPL language can describe
correctly. Since the correct return type info of a method has to be
determined by the anchor class anyway, why can't we just rely on the anchor
class? This is just my thought and we can do more tests to find out if it
really works.

Here are the anchor class and policy I used for test and it works for both
simple byte type and array [] byte type.

package com.ibm.watson.pml.bytearray;

public class ByteArrayFactory {
      private byte x[];
      private int y;

      public ByteArrayFactory(byte[] array) {
            x = array;
      }

      public byte[] getByteArray() {
            return x;
      }

      public boolean takeByteArray(byte[] barray) {
            return (barray[0] + barray[1] > 0 ? true : false);
      }

//    public byte getByteArray() {
//          return 3;
//	}
//
//    public boolean takeByteArray(byte barray) {
//          return (barray > 0 ? true : false);
//	}

      public void setValueY(int value) {
            y = value;
      }
}

Re: [jira] Updated: (IMPERIUS-28) byte[] method return type does not match

Hi Neeraj,

You are right, but the flag gets set when a policy is parsed without
looking at the corresponding anchor class. A mismatch could occur at
evaluation time depending the return type of a method,

Hey guys,

There is an isArray variable that gets set automatically  based on
reflection. There must be some other issue involved here

Let's take a look at the line in red in the policy you provided. In you
example, you have getByteArray() method that returns a byte[] return type.

Assume I add another method to the anchor class with the same name but
renturns a byte type. How do you write a SPL policy to distinguish between

these two?

Import Class com.ibm.watson.pml.bytearray.ByteArrayFactory:baf;
Strategy Execute_All_Applicable;
Policy {
Condition { baf.takeByteArray(baf.getByteArray()) }
Decision { ReturnValue(\"OK\") }
}:1;

I don't think this is an SPL specification issue.  This is strictly a
problem with the definition of the method's return type as indicated in
the Java Class object.  Somehow that definition is not being picked up as
an array and instead just as a single byte.  It _is_ getting the formal
parameter definition correct (i.e. a byte[]).

David,

It seems to me that Imperius is not capable of handling array return type
because the SPL does not distinguish between primitive return type and
array return type syntactically.

> It appears that a method's byte[] return type is not being properly
matched with a byte[] method argument.  The attached Java program includes


a policy that passes the byte[] return value of a method to another method


that expects the same.  This gives the following message:
