On the Java side, a struct is represented as a CompoundTerm object
(like any compound term).  That means the arguments are identified
only by their positions, and you can access them with the arg() method.

To get the mapping of names to positions, you could make an rpc()
and call current_struct(journal, _).  This will return a compound
term with the struct field names in the corresponding positions,
which you can the use for printing.

The equivalent in ECLiPSe:

:- local struct(journal(title,year,publisher)).

?- current_struct(journal,X).
X = journal(title, year, publisher)
Yes (0.00s cpu)
