Java from C++

[ToSam]

I try to be more specific now: In VC++ I define a OnButtonClick
method. Once the button is clicked, a piece of JAVA-code in a file
must be loaded and compiled using a Java-Compiler (javac). The Java
program returns an integer, say. A Java-example may be this:

public class Main {

public Main() {
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

try{

MCDVersion pMCDVersion = new MCDVersion();
int major = pMCDVersion.getMajor();

} catch (com.inzoom.comjni.ComJniException e){
System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
}
}
}

The desired result is in major. After having compiled this code from
C++, it must be executed in order to get the value of major. Then I
would like to pass this integer (that was generated from the Java
code) back to C++, and C++ uses it further. Here is my OnButtonClick
method:

void CTestDlg::OnButtonClick()
{
...
// compile Main.java
system("javac C:\\TEST\\Main.java");
// run Main.class
system("java C:\\TEST\\Main");
...
}

Questions are this: Is this the best way to do it? Secondly, how do
I pass the integer result to C++ so that it can be used again?

Thanks again.

In c++ standard there is no way you can invoke some other compiler to
run and get the results from the different language. Your solution of
using system() is not standard C++. It is operating system specific
call. Please go to the appropriate newsgroup to solve your problem.

off topic, but..as you might have guessed, this is not the way to do it.
You probably need JINI.
