Calling Mathematica from Java

Setup the KernelLink


String[] argv1 = {
"-linkmode", "launch", "-linkname",
"c:\\program files\\wolfram
research\\mathematica\\5.2\\mathkernel.exe" };

KernelLink ml = MathLinkFactory.createKernelLink(argv1);

Evaluate Expression
ml.evaluate("2+2");
ml.waitForAnswer();

int result = ml.getInteger();


System.out.println("2 + 2 = " + result);

Get Image Data

ml.discardAnswer();
Image img = ml.evaluateToImage(
"Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}]",
450, 450);
Sample Code
KernelLink ml = null;

String[] argv1 = { "-linkmode", "launch", "-linkname",


"c:\\program files\\wolfram research\\mathematica\\5.2\\mathkernel.exe" };

// Create a KernelLink
try {
ml = MathLinkFactory.createKernelLink(argv1);
}
catch (MathLinkException e) {
System.out.println("Fatal error opening link: " + e.getMessage());
return;
}

try {
// Get rid of the initial InputNamePacket the kernel
// will send when it is launched.
ml.discardAnswer();

ml.evaluate("<<MyPackage.m");
ml.discardAnswer();

ml.evaluate("2+2");
ml.waitForAnswer();

int result = ml.getInteger();


System.out.println("2 + 2 = " + result);

// Here's how to send the same input, but not as a string:


ml.putFunction("EvaluatePacket", 1);
ml.putFunction("Plus", 2);
ml.put(3);
ml.put(3);
ml.endPacket();
ml.waitForAnswer();
result = ml.getInteger();
System.out.println("3 + 3 = " + result);

// If you want the result back as a string, use evaluateToInputForm


// or evaluateToOutputForm. The second arg for either is the
// requested page width for formatting the string. Pass 0 for
// PageWidth->Infinity. These methods get the result in one
// step--no need to call waitForAnswer.
String strResult = ml.evaluateToOutputForm("4+4", 0);
System.out.println("4 + 4 = " + strResult);

strResult = ml.evaluateToOutputForm(" Integrate[Cos[x], x]", 0);


System.out.println("Integrate[Cos[x], x] = " + strResult);

}
catch (MathLinkException e)
{
System.out.println("MathLinkException occurred: " + e.getMessage());
}
finally
{
// Close the KernelLink
ml.close();
}
Output from Sample Code
2 + 2 = 4
3 + 3 = 6
4 + 4 = 8
4 + 4 = Sin[x]
