MATLAB: Use java classes in matlab

httpclientjava

It should be pretty straightforward to get java classes working in matlab but I can't seem to do it…

I want to use functions from HttpClient ( http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/ ) in my matlab program. I have put the 6 .jar files in the static (also tried dynamic) java path and restarted matlab but I can't call the functions.

I don't have experience with programming in java so it could be that I am making a mistake with my syntax.

Could somebody explain what I have to type in matlab exactly to call the functions?

Thank you very much!

Try the following:

 % Generate the list of jar files
 jarDirectory = 'C:\Temp\httpcomponents-client-4.1.1\lib';
 dirResult = dir([jarDirectory, filesep, '*.jar']);
 jars = cellfun( @(name)fullfile(jarDirectory, name), ...  
                 {dirResult.name}, 'UniformOutput', false );
 % Add jars to the dynamic classpath
 javaaddpath( jars );
 % Check classpath
 javaclasspath('-dynamic')
 % Quick test that we can use classes from the library
 httpclient = org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient()

Since the classes are added to the dynamic classpath, it is not persisted between restarts of MATLAB.

Yeah this has to do with hardware rendering, most notably with mesa opengl. I have yet to have my Radeon card work with hardware rendering and MATLAB, even though I have full opengl 4.5 support.

Run this command and restart to sidestep the issue. It's not a fix, but it gets you on your feet:

MATLAB: Calling a java class from matlab

It depends on whether it has been packaged into a .jar file or is a .class file.

Your class is called hello.HelloWorld

If it's in a file called c:\work\hello\HelloWorld.class, you need to add the root directory to the class path.

 javaaddpath c:\work\
 function Test()
  hello.HelloWorld();
 end

On the other hand, if it's in a c:\work\hello.jar file, you add the jar file to the class path.

 javaaddpath c:\work\hello.jar

After that's it's the same.
