Calling Java APIs fr4om C

[ramasubramanian.rahul]

hi
i am trying to call some java APIs from c . i use the standatd JNI
calls to load the JVM from a c program and call all java functions by
using a pointer to the jvm which was returned by the JNI call
the source code is given below and also the errors ..
Plz help in resolving these.

This is a code being (slightly modified ) which was downloaded from SUN
website :

#include <jni.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define PATH_SEPARATOR ';'
#define USER_CLASSPATH "."

hi
i am trying to call some java APIs from c . i use the standatd JNI
calls to load the JVM from a c program and call all java functions by
using a pointer to the jvm which was returned by the JNI call
the source code is given below and also the errors ..
Plz help in resolving these.
THe C Code above is compiled as follows::
SHLIB_PATH=/opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC:/opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC/server:$SHLIB_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH

-L/opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC -L/opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC/server
-ljvm -lpthread -llwp

on HP-UX machine...

Firstly the standard answer : Off topic. Ask in the java/sun discussion
forums.

<off-topic>
The c code must be exported/converted into a shared library which then
is used by the java code. Consult your HP-UX documentation as to how
to create a shared library and then follow the instructions given on
the sun website to get the JNI program working. The instructions on
the Sun web site are pretty good and ive done it before for Linux .

<offtopic>
- don't call Java from C (Sun deliberately made that way very
intricate), call C from Java (as suggested by Procrastinx)
- use alternative ways for communication, e.g. sockets
