JNI Strings and Calling a Java Method

[Kalpesh Modha]

Hello.

The problem.
Whats happens is this if I call a java method from the C++ with a string and
try to add to a vector or array I just get I null pointer in the java
method. If I remove a the call to put it in the array it works perfectly.
does anyone know what I going on here ?

I have pasted the code. If you require me a email the code let me know.

Many thanks for your help.
