problems initializing my java method using node-java

Question

I'm not a java jock, but I'm trying to learn how to use node-java. I tried to run one of the examples listed on npm java and gethub node-java and they don't work. I think my method is not initialize in my node.js script correctly. I'm using JDK/JRE 1.8 on a Window 10 laptop. Below is my simple code example. Any help would be appreciated.

var Test = java.import("com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable");

var result = Test.SearchQueryRulesFromTable("C1", "P1");
console.log(result);

Error in node-java

nodeJavaBridge.js:233
return java.newInstanceSync.apply(java, args);
                            ^
 TypeError: Could not find method
"com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable(java.lang.String,   
java.lang.String)" on class "class com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable".
Possible matches:  
public com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable() at Error (native)
at javaClassConstructorProxy….

Here is part of my java code:

...
public class SearchQueryRulesFromTable {
...
public static final void main(String[] args) {...

Results of javap

Compiled from "SearchQueryRulesFromTable.java
public class com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable {
  public com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable();
    descriptor: ()V

  public static final void main(java.lang.String[]);
    descriptor: ([Ljava/lang/String;)V
}   

@AlphaVictor I have tried to call the main method using node-java constructs that didn't seem to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Below is the main method in SearchQueryRulesFromTable:

ItemSearch  item1 = new ItemSearch();

item1.setSearchCustomer(args[0]);
item1.setSearchItem(args[1]); 

Using:

java.callStaticMethodSync("com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable", 
"ItemSearch(item1)","C1", "P1", function(err, results) {    
if(err) {console.error(err); 
javaLangSystem.out.printlnSync('test complete! '+ results);return;}   

Error:

TypeError: Could not find method
"com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable(java.lang.String,   
java.lang.String)" on class "class com.sample.SearchQueryRulesFromTable".

This error tells you that you have tried to call a constructor on class SearchQueryRulesFromTable that accepts two String arguments. There is no such constructor defined on that class.

Your code is attempting to call this non-existent constructor here:

SearchQueryRulesFromTable("C1", "P1");

Depending on what you are trying to do, you may want to call the main method within SearchQueryRulesFromTable instead, and pass it a String[] .
