Seed

Sites provides a large set of Java classes and methods. This Java API Reference describes these classes. A complete set of Javadocs also summarize these classes. In general, you will find more detailed explanations and examples in the Java API Reference than in the Javadocs.

This page summarizes the two ways in which you can invoke these Java classes and methods. It also details the soul method of the Seed class.

Invoking Java Methods from Sites

You can invoke the Java classes and methods described in this book using either of the following two mechanisms, both of which are detailed in the Sites Developer's Guide:

• You can invoke these classes and methods from a traditional Java source code file. After compiling this file, you can invoke the resulting Java executable from a Sites element (usually an XML element). You invoke the Java executable by creating a custom tag or by calling the special CALLJAVA XML tag. Either way, the Java source code you create must use the Seed interface, which is the topic of this page. The Seed interface has only one method,

• You can use these classes and methods within a JSP Sites element. Note that in many cases, JSP tags might provide the same features as the Java API. See the Sites Developer's Tag Reference for details.
