Specified by:

canInvoke in interface IPCInterface

Returns:

canInvoke

Description copied from interface: IPCInterface

This function will call the given method on the plugin. This function allows direct method calls to the plugin using Java Reflection API. Primitives like int, boolean need to be wrapped in their Objects (int -> Integer).

Results will be returned as Object and can be classcasted.

WARNING: only call Methods that use Java or Azureus Classes the use of custom classes may cause problems.

Examples:

1. Plugin has method int add (int x, int y);

 int result = ((Integer)invoke ("add", new Object[] {Integer.valueOf(10),Integer.valueOf(5)}).intValue();
 //result (15)
 

2. Plugin has method String randomize (String x);

 String result = (String)invoke("randomize", new Object[]{"foobar"});
 //result ("bfaoro")
 

Specified by:
