JNI call ending in EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

G

Gordon Beaton

Hello,

I have been struggling to call a Java method from C++ program on
Microsoft Windows XP.


I use Visual C++ 7.1 and NetBeans tools to create the programs that
uses Java Native Interface(JNI).

The call results in EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION when JNI_CreateJavaJVM
call is made .

There are a number of issues with the code, but I think your problem
is one of these:

- options[1].optionString is NULL, but you attempt to strcpy() to it.
The option only holds a pointer, you need to provide space for the
option string yourself.

- after calling JNI_CreateJavaVM() you check env->ExceptionOccurred()
before checking the result of the call to JNI_CreateJavaVM(). If the
JVM fails to start for any reason, then you can't expect env to be
initialized properly, so you should test result first.

- you *optionally* set the classpath, but you *always* set nOptions=2
even if you only set 1 option (leaving the second position
uninitialized).

The error message is listed at the end of the article. The Error Log
file is also
appended at the end.

Has anyone faced this problem? Can you kindly share your approach to
the problem?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Gordon,

You are right about the not checking env. However, I continue to get -1
from the JNI_CreateJavaJVM call, that corresonds to JNI_ERR.

Do you have a sample code or project with proper settings for Microsoft
Visual C++
that succesfully creates an instance of JVM using the call above?

Thank you for your answer. It indeed solved part of the problem after I
moved the code for checking the exception after the result check.

void TSJavaLib::InitializeJNI()
{
cout << "Welcome to test_JavaMethod()" << endl;
cout << "Version: " << GetVersion() << endl;

jint result = -1;
JavaVMInitArgs args;

JavaVMOption options[2];
options[0].optionString = "-Djava.complier=JIT";
char const* clspath = getenv("CLASSPATH");
if (clspath)
{
char* p1 = "-Djava.class.path=";
options[1].optionString = new char[strlen(p1)+strlen(clspath)+1];
strcpy(options[1].optionString, p1);
strcat(options[1].optionString, clspath);
}
else
{
printf("Classpath may not be set for java virtual machine\n");
}

args.nOptions = 2;
args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_4;
args.options = options;
args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_TRUE;


/*Create the Java VM*/
std::cout << "About to call JNI_CreateJavaVM" << std::endl;
result = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm_, (void**)&env_, &args);

if ( result == JNI_OK ) // Success
{
printf("JVM Succesfully Created!\n");
}
else
{
fprintf(stderr,"JNI_ERR Unable to create the Java VM %d\n", result);
exit(1);
}

if ( env_->ExceptionOccurred())
{
std::cerr << "Unable to initialize VM" << std::endl;
env_->ExceptionDescribe();
exit(-1);
}


}

Are the JVM dlls visible in the PATH when you run the program?

Sorry I have no experience with VC++ or really any programming on
Windows. However similar questions come up in this group relatively
frequently, so searching for "visual" and "JNI_CreateJavaVM" in
GoogleGroups should lead you to an answer.

Gordon,

I removed jvm.dll from various directories that were not part of Java
install. It works great now. Thank you for all the help.
