Using a C DLL from Java

markpb · 2007-09-03 12:00:33

Hope someone can help me with this, I'm not a Java coder at all. I have a C DLL (which I didn't write) that I need to call from a Java app. I tried to call it using a JNI stub but the namespaces don't match so it looks like I'll have to write another DLL of my own to sit between Java and the 3rd party dll.

if you can't recompile the DLL, then you might have to create a seperate dispatcher routine (as you know, i'm sure) - let us know what you do in the end.i'm interested to know.
