Firstly, looking at this code gave me a headache :-(

Secondly

There is no reflection so the import statements

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

are not required

Thirdly

change

tCtxt.setCtxt((new Integer(aSAr[0])).intValue(), aSAr[1],
(new Long(aSAr[0])).longValue());

to

((IADObj) tCtxt).setCtxt((new Integer(aSAr[0])).intValue(), aSAr[1], 
(new Long(aSAr[0])).longValue());

and the code will compile and run although it really should be 
re-written as is is *horrible* for reasons explained elsewhere in this 
thread.
