Scripting : Java

Java is a programming language developed by Sun Microsystems : http://www.sun.com/java.

To start a java program in Houdini, one merely needs to use the java hscript command. Once inside java, you can import sesi.Houdini as found in $HH/scripts/java/sesi.jar. This allows use of the Houdini.hscript() function to send hscript commands back to houdini. For a mini-example, see the help on the hscript java command.

If you peek inside sesi.jar, you will note that Houdini.hscript() merely calls hcommand similar to the method described in SendingHscriptToHoudini. You can also roll your own socket connection for further speed improvements similar to the method described in PythonToHoudini.
