[java-dev] Embedding exisiting max objects in mxj objects

Hello Everyone,


In 'classic' extern developing, it's possible to instantiate an existing 
Max extern inside an other one. I'd be interested if the same mechanism 
could be achieved using Java-based externs, or not?
Actually, I'm making a Java object that gets some data on its input, and 
after doing lots of mathematical calculations with these data, it 
outputs the data on the outlet. But some of the calculations I'm doing 
can be parametrized with functions, so I would like to be able to let 
the user to enter these 'parameter functions' in the mxj object box, and 
use the 'expr' object of Max to evaluate it using the internal data of 
my object. I know that in 'classic' C-style external programming this 
can be do with the 'expr_eval' function of the Max API.

Is that possible to do, or do I have to implement a class that does the 
same functionality than 'expr' does in Max?

Thank you,
Adam
