Creating a new FunctionCall object

The extensionInit method creates a new FunctionCall object that contains your custom-built functions.

To create a new FunctionCall object you must define a FunctionCall class that contains your custom functions. Refer to "Setting up the FunctionCall Class" for more details.

Declare a new FunctionCall object before you create it in the extensionInit method.

The following example from the FCIExtension class declares a FunctionCall object called theFunctionObject.


      public class FCIExtension extends ExtensionImplBase implements 
      Extension
      {
      private FunctionCall theFunctionObject;
         public void extensionInit(IFX IFXMan) throws UWIException
         {
            /* Additional code removed */
         }
      }

Create a new FunctionCall object inside the extensionInit method, by calling the FunctionCall class constructor that you will build in the next section.

In the following example, extensionInit creates a new FunctionCall object by calling the FunctionCall class constructor FciFunctionCall and passing it the IFX Manager.


      public class FCIExtension extends ExtensionImplBase implements 
      Extension
      {
      private FunctionCall theFunctionObject;
         public void extensionInit(IFX IFXMan) throws UWIException
         {
            this.theFunctionObject = new FciFunctionCall(IFXMan);
         }
      }
