Mac OS X for Java Geeks, was released. One section of the book that generated more questions and comments than almost any other was the section on JNI, or the Java Native Interface.
Tutorial Details:
JNI is the standard Java mechanism for interfacing Java applications with legacy C code. Standard Java code is bound to C-based libraries, with no changes or modification in your Java code required as you move between platforms. Generally speaking, it\'s considered good form to do some sanity checking when you attempt to load native code, and have your Java application either continue (possibly missing some native functionality) or gracefully exit if there is a failure.
In this article, we\'ll revisit the process of building a JNI project using the latest JDK 1.4.1, Apple\'s Project Builder, and the latest Java tools from Apple.
The main ones of interest are JNIWrapper.java and JNIExample141jnilib.c. These are the only files which are edited by hand -- you\'ll be putting your Java logic in the JNIWrapper.java file, and the C code in the JNIExample141jnilib.c file.
