JNI Calling a multithreaded C code from Java

Hi,
I am new to JNI . I am calling a multithreaded C (in which threads are created at runtime )code from a Java application (swing) on some event . The application crashes and it says "pthreads mutex_lock()". I have added -pthread as a command line argument .But even this does not help although the build is proper .It crashes at runtime .All other JNI calls are working perfectly ...
Please help .
Thanks in advance ...

Rohit

Are any of those threads calling java code? If yes then are you calling the Attach method?

Calling a PL/SQL function from java

I would like to call a pl/sql function from java. My pl/sql function is taking arrays of records as parameters. How do i proceed? Which specific oracle packages do I have to import?
Please send an example.
TIA,
Darko Guberina

Documentation here: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/java.101/b10983/datamap.htm#sthref185
says JPublisher can publish records too.
But when I change the example given at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/java.101/b10983/datamap.htm#sthref190 as following:
PACKAGE "COMPANY" AS
type emp_rec is record (empno number, ename varchar2(10));
type emp_list is varray(5) of emp_rec;
type factory is record (
name varchar(10),
emps emp_list
function get_factory(p_name varchar) return factory;
END;
then I see <unknown type or type not found> at sql or java files generated. Any ideas?

How to call c++ code from java

i have a third party dll written in c++. I want to call its methods in java. I searched web and found that I have to use JNI for this. I have seen examples on web writing c++ code and then using it from java through JNI, but can anybody please point to me the example where i have a predefined library or dll in c++ and i have to call it in java. I think that I may have to declare methods in library as native in java and then write a wrapper implementation (dll) in c++ which actually calls the library or dll functions. But, then how will I call methods of dll from my wrapper code.
Any examples, please point
Regards,
Farooq

There's a JNI forum here that may be a better place for this question; though given the general nature of the question, I suspect that they'll refer you to a tutorial. good luck.

I have used the following code to call c from java:
String line;
               String output1 = "";
                     Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cpp.exe");

Call native function fflush & strprn from java

Hi,
I need to call a native function fflush and stdprn from java for printing a file.
How can i call this function?
Can any one help me with sample code.
Thanks,
rpalanivelu

Thanks your reply,
Actually my problem is need to take printout using dot matrix printer(text printer) with different font size.
So, i am using native method which is available in c.
in c program i am using fflush,stdprn and fprintf.
Here i've attached my sample program also.
#include <jni.h>
#include "NativePrint.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAXLINE_LEN 100
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Java_NativePrint_dotMatrixPrint(JNIEnv* env, jobject obj )
FILE *fp;
char filename[20];
char line[100]; /* A line read from the file */
int lineNumber = 0;
/* Print control codes */
char boldOn = 14;
char boldOff = 20;
char contentlenOn = 15;
char contentlenOff = 18;
printf("Printing from C3");
strcpy( filename , "sayHello.c" );
/* Open the file in read mode */
fp = fopen( filename , "r" );
/* Error in opening file, then exit */
if ( fp == NULL )
printf( "\nERROR: %s cannot be opened\n" , filename );
exit( 1 );
while ( fgets( line , 100 , fp ) != NULL )
lineNumber++; /* Line we are about to process next */
printf("%s",line);
/* If this is the first line */
if ( lineNumber == 1 )
/* then print it in bold */
//fprintf( stdprn , "%c" , boldOn );
fprintf( stdprn , "%c" , contentlenOn );
fprintf( stdprn , line );
fprintf( stdprn , "%c" , contentlenOff);
//fprintf( stdprn , "%c" , boldOff );
else
/* else print it in normal mode */
fprintf( stdprn , line );
fflush(stdprn);
return 0;

Calling existing C/C++ dll from Java Prog

Hi,
From within the Java code I want to use the
functionality of an existing C API. The dll's of C are available. Is it possible to directly call the C Api using Jni or some other technique or do I need to implement a native method in C which would Use the existing C Api to get the values and Pass them to the Java prog.
Istikhar.

Is it possible to directly call the C Api using Jni...Depends on what you mean. You can't call it directly from java. You can use JNI, including C/C++ to call it.

Problems running external Win32 Multithread C-Program from Java

hi,
i just wrote a little java application which is calling my c-binary (a win32 multithread application written in pure ansi c) . let's call it "test.exe". i'm launching it via:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, new String[] { env }, dir)the program is started correctly and i get all test.exe outputs on my java console (therefor i grabbed the inputstream and errorstream of the process-object ...). so far so good.
my problem is, that something with the multithreading seems to be wrong, when launching my test.exe from java!
for example, i have the following line of code in my c-program (test.exe):
WaitForSingleObject( g_hMutexREADY, INFINITE );if i launch my program as java process, this line seems to be ignored! that means, the program doesn't stop executing at this point (and is waiting for the mutex) but simply continues executing, causing the whole program to crash.
if i run the same program directly from the winxp commandline all is working fine (that means: the threads of 'test.exe' synchronize each other correctly via the mutexes)!
does anybody has an idea or have already had similar problems? maybe some win32 libraries are missing, could that be?
thanks a lot.
k4simir

I just debugged a little bit through my c program. and it's not the multithrading stuff causing the error, but the win32 socket creation!
my "multithreading c program" :-) is an ASR (automatic speech recognizer). it runs as socket server (on localhost) and accepts connections from clients (my java application). the client (java app) controls the ASR server (means start(), stop(), open(), close() ...). if the ASR server recognizes some user input, it will transfer it to the client for further processing.
so far the theory. if i launch the ASR server via the window command line, the communication and the other stuff works fine. now i want my java app to launch the ASR server.
the ASR fails, when it tries to create the socket:
g_Vars.kServSock = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );the error code returned by WSAGetLastError() is 10106! i didn't find this error code in the msdn! so i don't know what it means or what might be the problem.
any ideas?
thanks a lot!
k4simir
here's the full code:
int     InitSocket( short sPortNr ) {
     int               iErr;
     SOCKADDR_IN     kMyAddr;
     iErr = StartUp();
     if( iErr != _SRC_OK ) {
          return _SRC_ERROR;
     // create server-socket:
     g_Vars.kServSock = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
     if( g_Vars.kServSock == INVALID_SOCKET ) {
          CleanUp();
          return _SRC_ERROR;
int StartUp() {
     WORD wVersionRequested;
     WSADATA wsaData;
     int err;

     wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 2 );
     err = WSAStartup( wVersionRequested, &wsaData );
     if ( err != 0 ) {
          return _SRC_ERROR;
     if ( LOBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 2 ||
           HIBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 2 ) {

Calling a COBOL stored proc from Java Servlet

I am trying to call a COBOL stored proc from a Java Servlet. The stored proc is stored on a DB2 database. I need to send 6 inputs to the COBOL stored proc and the output will be the return code of the stored proc. I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way. This is how my code looks...
public int callStoredProc(CallableStatement cstmt,
Connection con,
String sYear,
String sReportNbr,
String sSystemCode,
String sUserId,
String sModuleNbr,
String sFormId){
int iParm1 = 0;
try{
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
catch(ClassNotFoundException ex){
System.out.println("Failed to locate database driver: "
+ ex.toString());
return iParm1;
try{
cstmt = con.prepareCall("{? = CALL MKTPZ90C
cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
cstmt.setString(2, sYear);
cstmt.setString(3, sReportNbr);
cstmt.setString(4, sSystemCode);
cstmt.setString(5, sUserId);
cstmt.setString(6, sModuleNbr);
cstmt.setString(7, sFormId);
cstmt.execute();
iParm1 = cstmt.getInt(1);
CloseSQLStatement(cstmt);
catch(SQLException ex) {
CloseSQLStatement(cstmt);
System.out.println("SQL exception occurred:" +
ex.toString());
return iParm1;
return iParm1;
Could someone tell me if this is the right way to go about doing this?
Thanks!!!!!!

I didn't see the code where you create the database connection (variable "con"). However, the answer to your question "Is this the right way...", for me, is "Anything that works is the right way." So try it. That's a first approximation, but once you have something that works you can start on improving it, if that becomes necessary.

JNI calls only work if sent from main thread?!?

Hi,
I searched through the forum for a couple of hours now, and found that a lot of developers seem to have problems with JNI and threads. However, I couldn't find a solution to my problem so far...hope you can help!
We need to send requests to a DDE Server from our Java application. For that reason, we implemented a very small DLL using Delphi, which calls the DDE Server and returns the result as a string. Using JNI, we call this DLL from Java.
Everything works fine, as long as we call the DDE Server (via JNI and the DLL) from the main thread of the Java application. But everytime we call it from another Java thread, our DDL reports that it can't get a connection to the DDE Server. This is especially awkward if you want to make calls as a reaction to GUI events, since then the call is sent by the Event Dispatch Thread of the Java runtime.
This does not seem to be a multi-threading problem, since we do never send multiple requests at the same time. It simply depends on the thread, from which the call is sent.
Any hints are appreciated very much.
Thanks!
Thilo

We are a step further now...thus the problem to be solved changed a little bit.
The former assumption, that connecting to the DDE server does only work from the main thread was false. It only seemed like that, because we called System.loadLibrary() to in the main thread to load the DLL . In fact, the connection to the DDE server works from any thread - you just have to make sure that System.loadLibrary() is invoked in this same thread.
This means: if System.loadLibrary() is invoked in the Event Dispatch Thread, we can call the DDE Server from this thread, which is what we primarily wanted to do. So our problem is solved.
Anyway, I made some more tests to find out, what happens if I start multiple threads, with each of them calling System.loadLibrary(). The result was, that only the first thread is successful. This means: the first thread, which loads the DLL is the only thread that is able to connect to the DDE server. All other threads won't get a connection.
What could be the reason for that?

Calling stored procedures in Sybase from java

Hi,
I am using the following stored procedure in Sybase
use xyzdb
go
-- drop procedure if it already exist
if object_id('up_name_select') is not null
begin
drop procedure up_name_select
end
go
create procedure up_name_select
@zid          numeric(7,0),
@firstname     char(40),
@lastname     char(40)
as
select zid,
firstname,
lastname
from name
where zid = @zid or
(lastname like @lastname or firstname like @firstname)
go
-- update documentation records in object_docs
delete object_docs
from object_docs
where object_name = "up_name_select"
go
insert into object_docs values("up_name_select","Selects records from the name table based upon the values of the input parameters.")
go
-- update documentation records in column_docs
delete column_docs
from column_docs
where object_name = "up_name_select"
go
insert into column_docs values("up_name_select","@zid","System generated ID for an individual contact.")
insert into column_docs values("up_name_select","@firstname","First name of the contact. SQL wild card characters are accepted.")
insert into column_docs values("up_name_select","@lastname","Last name of the contact. SQL wild card characters are accepted.")
go
-- print success message and grant permissions
if object_id('up_name_select') is not null
begin
print "Procedure up_name_select created."
grant execute on up_name_select to developer_role
end
go
This stored procedure selects the values from the table "name" for a given where condition (if I am not wrong).
Can any one give me sample java code to select the records from the table "name" for a given zid.
Thankyou in advance.

Calling a SP or Function from Java receiving a geometry(MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY)

Hi there,
What I want to do is: calling a stored procedure OR function from Java with a String-variable as input and receiving a geometry (SDO_GEOMETRY).
I’m facing currently the problem of calling a stored function on oracle 11g from Java using JPA (EclipseLink), Spring 2.5.6 returning an MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY object.
I’ve tried to call a stored procedure with MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY as an output parameter instead, but with no success.
The function’s signature looks like this:
CREATE or REPLACE
FUNCTION GET_GEO_BRD_FUNCTION(p_geo_brd_id IN VARCHAR2) RETURN MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY AS
sdo_geom    MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY := null;
BEGIN
/* do some fancy stuff on the database side */
SELECT sp_geom
    INTO sdo_geom
    FROM geo_brd WHERE id = p_geo_brd_id;
RETURN sdo_geom;
END;
The calling code looks like this:
MyClass extends JpaDaoSupport{
   /** logger */
   protected static final ILogger LOG = LogFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);
    * {@inheritDoc}
    * @see com.example.MyClass#calculateGeometry(java.lang.String)
   @Override
   public JGeometry calculateGeometry(final String id) {
       JGeometry geometry = null;
       final JpaCallback action = new JpaCallback() {
            @Override
            public Object doInJpa(final EntityManager em) throws PersistenceException {
               final Session session = JpaHelper.getEntityManager(em).getActiveSession();
               final StoredFunctionCall functionCall = new StoredFunctionCall();
               functionCall.setProcedureName("GET_GEO_BRD_FUNCTION");
               functionCall.addNamedArgument("p_geo_brd_id");
               functionCall.setResult("sdo_geom", Oracle.sql.STRUCT.class);
               final ValueReadQuery query = new ValueReadQuery();
               query.setCall(functionCall);
               query.addArgument("p_geo_brd_id");
               final ArrayList args = new ArrayList();
               args.add("2e531e62-2105-4522-978a-ab8baf19e273");// hardcoded for test
               final Object result = session.executeQuery(query, args);
               return result;
    final STRUCT result = (STRUCT) this.getJpaTemplate().execute(action);
    try {
       geometry = JGeometry.load(result);
    } catch (final SQLException e) {
       MyClass.LOG.error("Error loading JGeometry from STRUCT.", e);
       return null;
    return geometry;
And when I execute the query I get the following error:
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: Row 1, Column 13:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: Row 1, Column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error Code: 6550
Call: BEGIN ? := GET_GEO_BRD_FUNCTION(p_geo_brd_id=>?); END;
     bind => [=> sdo_geom, 2e531e62-2105-4522-978a-ab8baf19e273]
Query: ValueReadQuery()
So I thought may be let's try it with a stored procedure instead...
The procedure looks like this:
CREATE or REPLACE
PROCEDURE GET_GEO_BRD_PROCEDURE(p_geo_brd_id IN VARCHAR2, sdo_geom OUT MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY) AS
BEGIN
/* do some fancy stuff on the database side */
SELECT sp_geom
    INTO sdo_geom
    from geo_brd where id = p_geo_brd_id;
END;
The calling Java code in case of the stored procedure looks like this (only the content of the JPACallback has changed):
@Override
public Object doInJpa(final EntityManager em) throws PersistenceException {
    final Session session = JpaHelper.getEntityManager(em).getActiveSession();
    final StoredProcedureCall spCall = new StoredProcedureCall();
    spCall.setProcedureName("GET_GEO_BRD_PROCEDURE");
    spCall.addNamedArgument("p_geo_brd_id", "p_geo_brd_id", String.class);
    spCall.addNamedOutputArgument("sdo_geom", "sdo_geom", OracleTypes.STRUCT);
    final ValueReadQuery query = new ValueReadQuery();
    query.setCall(spCall);
    query.addArgument("p_geo_brd_id"); // input
    final List args = new ArrayList();
    args.add("2e531e62-2105-4522-978a-ab8baf19e273");// hardcoded for test
    final Object result = session.executeQuery(query, args);
    return result;
And when I execute the query I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: Row 1, Column 13:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GET_GEO_BRD_PROCEDURE'
ORA-06550: Row 1, Column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
So both exceptions look quite similar.
I guess in both cases the exception description leads to the assumption, that the wrong type for the return value / output parameter is used…
So - how can a receive a MDSYS_SDO_GEOMETRY object from a stored procedure or stored function in Java ?
What is wrong in the Java code?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
Yours,
Chris

Here is now the code for stored procedure and function for anybody else encountering the same troubles... (be aware of the parameter order and/or naming!)
Code for stored functions:
final JpaCallback action = new JpaCallback() {
@Override

     final Session session = JpaHelper.getEntityManager(em).getActiveSession();
       * Using CallableStatement for stored functions

      CallableStatement cs = null;
      final DatabaseLogin login = session.getLogin();
      final Connection _conn = (Connection) login.connectToDatasource(session.getDatasourceLogin().buildAccessor(), session);
      try {
         try {
            cs = _conn.prepareCall("{? = call GET_GEO_BRD_FUNCTION(?)}");
            cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY");
            cs.setString(2, "2e531e62-2105-4522-978a-ab8baf19e273");//TODO: hardcoded for test
            cs.execute();
         } catch (final SQLException e) {
            MyClass.LOG.error("An exception occured calling the stored procedure", e);
         if (cs != null) {
            //reading geometry from the database
            try {
               st = (STRUCT) cs.getObject(1);
            } catch (final SQLException e) {
               MyClass.LOG.error("An exception occured converting the query result to oracle.sql.STRUCT", e);
      } finally {
         try {
            if (_conn != null && !_conn.isClosed()) {
                _conn.close();
         } catch (final SQLException e) {
            MyClass.LOG.error("An exception occured on closing the database connection.", e);
      return st;
final STRUCT result = (STRUCT) this.getJpaTemplate().execute(action);
The code for stored procedure solution:
