trouble with JNI

[Mark]

I'm using the IDEA IDE, but would like to understand how to do this from
the command-line at the least.

I'm running the simple HelloNative JNI example from Core Java vol II. It's
a simple C-method that just does a printf and is called from Java.

This is on Windows XP. I've made the dll for the C-routine and compiled the
java, etc....

The runtime exception is:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jnitest1.dll in java.library.path

Even though I've put the path to the dll in the -classpath argument when I
run this test.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Put the dll in your path, not your classpath.

Also, you may want to try using System.load() instead of
System.loadLibrary(). System.load allows you to specify the absolute path
of your .dll
