Explore Class Information Tab (Execute Java Method Step)

Use the Explore Class Information tab of the Execute Java Method customizer window to choose a method to execute from the class selected in the Explore tab.

If any of the parameters to be passed to a constructor is of type InputStream or Reader, the Execute Java Method step allows you to select a Document object and automatically convert the document to an InputStream or Reader object.

If the return type is an instance of InputStream or Reader, the Execute Java Method step allows you to assign the result to a Document variable by converting the result into the appropriate format.

The following table describes the properties of the Explore Class Information ab of the Execute Java Method customizer window:
