Using a DLL

[gal12]

Hello,

I am currently trying to create a server application, for a client that is already built. The client uses an external dll written in C++ for network communication. Apperantly, that networking protocoal is different than Java's API Socket package, therefore I have to use that dll (which i've got) for networking.

"Googling" it, i've found out that i have to use JNI or JNA to implement that dll in my project. I am not quite sure how to do that. Can anyone help?

Happy new year

You need to create an JNI native header and implmentation to map the C++ DLL methods to Java methods. Check out the JNI Tutorial (http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/jni.html).
