Re: [eclipse-clp-users] Calling predicates from a module using Java

Thank you for the answer. I have realised my stupid mistake a minute
after sending  a post to a group.

By the way I would like to clarify another issue.
Suppose I have a predicate: test.
1) test has arity 1:
  test(V) :- V is 1.
  Now using rpc:
  CompoundTerm ret = engine.rpc(
                                                new CompoundTermImpl(
           "test",
            null)
   );

  does not work. I get a following exception
com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl.<init>(CompoundTermImpl.java:68)

2) Having test defined as follows:
  test(V, N)  :- V is 1.
  the following Java code works:
  CompoundTerm ret = engine.rpc(
                                                new CompoundTermImpl(
           "test",
            null,
            new Integer(3))
   );

Why 1) throws an exception and 2) does not? I would like
to have a predicate defining variable, that is of arity 1 ( like test(V)  ).
