External Interfaces/API

Calling Java from MATLAB

This chapter describes how to use the MATLAB interface to Java classes and objects. This MATLAB capability enables you to conveniently bring Java classes into the MATLAB environment, to construct objects from those classes, to call methods on the Java objects, and to save Java objects for later reloading -- all accomplished with MATLAB functions and commands.

Using Java from MATLAB: An Overview	How you can benefit from using the MATLAB Java interface
Bringing Java Classes into MATLAB	Using Java built-in, third-party, or your own classes
Creating and Using Java Objects	Constructing and working with Java objects
Invoking Methods on Java Objects	Calling syntax, static methods, querying MATLAB about methods
Working with Java Arrays	How MATLAB represents Java arrays and how to work with them
Passing Data to a Java Method	How to pass MATLAB data types into Java
Handling Data Returned from a Java Method	How to handle data types returned by Java
Introduction to Programming Examples	Introduction and links to sample programs that use the MATLAB interface to Java
Example - Reading a URL	Open a connection to a Web site and read text from the site using a buffered stream reader
Example - Finding an Internet Protocol Address	Call methods on an `InetAddress` object to get hostname and IP address information
Example - Communicating Through a Serial Port	Create a `SerialPort` object and configure the port using methods provided by that class
Example - Creating and Using a Phone Book	Create a phonebook using a data dictionary that operates using key/value pairs in a hash table
