"The Java Native Interface (JNI) API" by Steve Gaul

Sponsored by CoreTech Consulting Group

Abstract

The Java Native Interface (JNI) is an enabling technology that allows for the integration of code written in the Java programming language with code written in other languages such as C and C++. With the JNI API, programmers get the best of both worlds: the ability to levarage native platform-specific fetaures with full binary compatibility across Java Virtual Machines (JVM’s). The Java Native Interface allows programmer’s to take full advantage of the Java platform without having to abandon their investment in legacy code. Topics included: – Writing native methods – Explanations of JNI native types, references, object and class functions – Passing data types between the Java language and native programming languages – Embedding a Java virtual machine implementation in native applications – Tools and strategies for integrating legacy code with new Java applications
