Please help…

Im trying to invoke the public static main method of the class Main which calls a number of other methods, etc. etc….. and pass it the arguments…. the Main.class is not the main that I want to call to start the program…

Do I just need to instantiate the class and it will call the main method of the main class???

Here’s some of my code and how i tried to do it:

import com.sap.tc.jtools.*;
import com.sap.tc.jtools.jlint.*;
import com.sap.tc.jtools.jlint.Main;
.
.
.
public class myClass{
.
.
.
public static void main(String[] args) {

.
.
.
}
.
.
.
public static void runTests(){

com.sap.tc.jtools.jlint.Main jMain = new com.sap.tc.jtools.jlint.Main();
        
        Class[] argTypes = new Class[1];
        argTypes[0] = String[].class;
        
        try {
          Class cl = Class.forName("Main");
          //Method mainMethod=cl.getMethod("Main",argTypes);
          Method mainMethod = cl.getDeclaredMethod("main",argTypes);
          Object[] argListForInvokedMain = new Object[1];
          argListForInvokedMain[0] = new String[0];
          //Arguments go here...
          mainMethod.invoke(null,argListForInvokedMain);
          }
          catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            System.err.println("Class Main not found in classpath.");
          }
}
}

The above code is my class… and I’m trying to call another class (Main.class) and invoke its main method…. that class is:

package com.sap.tc.jtools.jlint;
.
.
.
public class Main
{

    public Main()
    {
    }

    public static void main(String args[])  //this is what i want to run/INVOKE!!!
    {
        if(args.length != 2)
        {
            printHelp();
            System.exit(1);
        }
        File configFile = new File(args[0]);
        File requestFile = new File(args[1]);
        run(configFile, requestFile);
        System.out.println("Done.....");
    }
.
.
.

Please help… thanks!!!

What exception are you getting? Try actualy creating a string[] as the arg list, don’t make a object[].
