To add a method to the list, select New. The Method Definition Window appears prompting you for details about the method. Specify the following information:
Smalltalk name
The Smalltalk method name.
Java name
The Java method name.
Return Type
The Java type returned by the method. You can enter the type directly in the field or import the Java types from the repository of this Smalltalk image or VisualAge for Java servlet interface.
Input Parameters
The types of the parameters passed to the method. To add parameters to the list, follow these steps:
o Select Add.... A window appears prompting you for the type of the parameter.

To remove a parameter from the list, select it and then select Remove.
Note:
The number of parameters defined for the Java method must equal the number of parameters defined by the corresponding Smalltalk method. If the two methods do not match, an error message appears when you attempt to add the method to the class mapping.

If the exception you want is not listed, this means no Smalltalk mapping exists for it. You may enter the exception name and when you have finished mapping the Java class, you will be prompted to map the exception using the RMI Exception Wizard. See Mapping a Smalltalk class to a Java exception for more information on creating mapping exceptions.
o When you have finished adding exceptions, select OK.
To remove an exception from the list, select it and then select Remove.
