Java field programming tips

Use the ActiveX to enterprise bean bridge to access Java fields has the same case sensitivity issue that it has when invoking methods. Field names must use the same case as the Java field syntax.

Visual Basic has the same problem with unsolicited case changing on fields as it does with methods. (For more information about this problem, see ActiveX to enterprise bean bridge, calling Java methods). You might need to use the CallByName() function to set a field in the same way that you would call a method in some cases. For Fields, you use VBLet for primitive types and VBSet for Objects. For example:

  o.MyField = 123                         'Incorrect...
  CallByName(o, "MyField", vbLet, 123)    'Correct...

or in VBScript:

  o.MyField = 123                          'Incorrect...
  Eval("o.myField = 123")                  'Correct...
