Conventions
Note: This section assumes that you are familiar with the methods that the OpenROAD.ParameterData, OpenROAD.RemoteServer, and OpenROAD.ASOSession COM classes provide. (For more information, see the Language Reference Guide.)
Most of the Java methods correspond directly to the underlying COM methods, with minor modifications in cases that make the Java interface more convenient or more consistent with Java stylistic conventions. (For example, in the Java style, the first letter of a method name is lowercase. So the method named "Connect" in the COM interface is named "connect" in the Java interface.)
Because Java (unlike VBScript) is a strongly typed language, several type-specific accessor methods are provided for accessing ParameterData attributes. These wrap the generic PDO SetAttribute/GetAttribute methods and extend them with conversions from/to the specified Java datatype.
