JNI and return a boolean?

Thanks

I tried the following but I get this error when I run the app:

I create a java package:

package jifwini;


public class JProfileIO
{
    static
      {
            // Used to load the library
        System.loadLibrary("jifwini");
    }
   
      public JProfileIO(){}
      public native boolean T();
}

then i compile it as following then
create a jar file

source for making the jar file:

cd c:\toolkit\jifwini\jar
del jifwini.jar


jar cf c:\toolkit\jifwini\jar\jifwini.jar -C c:\toolkit\jifwini\class jifwini\JProfileIO.class

then I create a javah file:

del c:\toolkit\jifwini\win32dll\JProfileIO.h

javah -jni -d "c:\toolkit\jifwini\win32dll" -classpath "c:\toolkit\jifwini\class\jifwini" JProfileIO

then i create a dll.  
I created a directory in my c:\temp\jio
where I place the dll.

My java app that uses the jni is as follows:

import jifwini.*;

class Test
{
      public static Test obT;
      String strValue;
      
      public Test()
      {
            Test1();
      }
        
      public void Test1()
      {
            strValue = "Test this one";
            System.out.println( strValue );            

            JProfileIO io = new JProfileIO();
            if( io.T() == true )
                  System.out.println( "true" );
            else
                  System.out.println( "false" );

      }
      
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
            Test objT = new Test();
      }
      
}


Then i compile and run it:

javac -classpath "c:\temp\jio\jifwini.jar;c:\temp\jio" *.java
java -classpath "c:\temp\jio\jifwini.jar;c:\temp\jio" Test


now it compiles fine but when it runs I get the following erro:



Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: T
at jifwini.JPRofileIO.T(Native Method)
at Test.Test1(Test.java:19)
at Test.<init>(Test.java:10)
at Test.main(Test.java:31)

Here is what the dll does:

JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_JProfileIO_T
  (JNIEnv *env, jobject this)
{
      return (JNI_TRUE);
}

eric07,

first your DLL is named jifwini.dll ?
System.loadLibrary is extending the given parameter to an operating system(OS) dependend shared library name.
Win: jfiwini.dll
Solaris: libjfwinwi.sl and so on.

Second the OS must be able to find the library.
Assuming you are using Win95/98 try to place the library in a directory where your PATH environment points to.
- for example:
do echo %PATH% at a command prompt and
you will get a list of directories where you can put it.

third there is another load call you can use:
System.load("c:\\temp\\jio\\fiwini.dll");
I never tried this because this will only run at one platform.

Happy eastern
