JNI: How to use FindClass to get a class in a Jar file?

Is it possible to use the FindClass method of the JNI environment object to get a class that is in a jar file? My sample application was working when my class files were in the local directory. Now that I have replaced the class files with a jar file containing the classes, the app no longer works. I'd appreciate tips from anyone who knows how to do this.

Is it possible to use the FindClass method of the
JNI environment object to get a class that is in a
jar file? My sample application was working when my
class files were in the local directory. Now that I
have replaced the class files with a jar file
containing the classes, the app no longer works. I'd
appreciate tips from anyone who knows how to do this.It has nothing to do with JNI.
The method uses the class path just like any other class loading situation in java. The reason it worked before is because your class path included the directory. It doesn't work now because either the jar is not in the class path or there is something wrong with the class path.

  • How to use reflection to get base classes protected field

    I have one base Base classes which have protected fields and public get method to get the field.
    class Base
    protected int proField;
    public int getProField(){return proField;}
    Class Derive extends base class Base
    class Derive extends Base implements OtherInterface
    public void funtion(){};
    Now I have an instance of Derive, how can I use reflection to get the protected field inherited from Base. It seems Java Reflection only give runtime accessibility to public field and decleared field, protected-inherited field is excluded.

    as the last poster said, traverse up the class hierarchy.
    ex:
    private void doSumfinToField(String fieldName throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, NoSuchFieldException {
    Class clazz = getClass();
    Field field = findFieldInClass(clazz, fieldName);
    //field.doSumfin;
    private Field findFieldInClass(Class clazz, String fieldName) throws NoSuchFieldException {
    try { // to find the field in this class    
    return clazz.getDeclaredField(fieldName);
    } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
    // if we don't have a superclass, continue
    if (clazz.getSuperclass().equals(Object.class)) {
    throw e;
    // check in the superclass
    return findFieldInClass(clazz.getSuperclass(), fieldName);

  • How do I import classes in a jar file?

    I have the following directory structure, each directory is a seperate package of the same name as the directory
    RPGUniversal
    RPGMap
    RPGCharacter
    RPGCharacter is not done yet so I am ignoring that package for now.
    RPGCharacter and RPGMap both depends on classes inside the RPGUniversal Package, but are independant of eachother and RPGUniversal is completely independant.
    I want to place each package in it's own .jar file for use as a library in later programs.
    I placed all the compiled classes for RPGUniversal inside the proper directory structure, I then used this command to place it in a jar:
    jar -cf ./RPGUniversal.jar ./RPGUniversal/*
    I then tested the contents with this command:
    exodist@Abydos:/stuff/JProject/test$ jar -tf RPGUniversal.jar
    META-INF/
    META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    RPGUniversal/ADTs/
    RPGUniversal/ADTs/t1.jpg

    RPGUniversal/Interfaces/Trackable.class
    RPGUniversal/Interfaces/Tracker.class
    RPGUniversal/Interfaces/RPGMapComponent.class
    RPGUniversal/Interfaces/RPGMap.class
    so far all good, next I delete the RPGUniversal directory leaving the only file in the current directory RPGUniversal.jar
    next I create the RPGMap directory and give it the proper .java files and directory tree.
    I then run a script to compile every .java file
    for i in `find ./ -name "*.java"`; do javac "$i"; done
    and I get a ton of dependancy errors:
    exodist@Abydos:/stuff/JProject/test$ for i in `find ./ -name "*.java"`; do javac "$i"; done

  • Is it possible to call a class in a jar file from JNI environment?

    Hi
    Is it possible to call a class in a jar file from JNI environment?
    Thanks in advance.

    Could you explain a bit more what you are trying to do? (In other words, your question is vague.)
    o If your main program is written in C, you can use JNI to start a JVM, load classes from the jar of your choice, and call constructors and methods of the objects defined in the jar.
    o If your main program is java, and has been laoded from a jar, a JNI routine can call back into java to use the constructors and methods of classes defined in the jar(s).

  • How to combine the classes from 2 jar files into 1?

    Hi there
    I have got 2 jar files with the same name but the classes that they contain are different. So, I want to combine those 2 files into 1. Could anyone please tell me how to add the classes in a jar file to another jar file?
    Thanks for your help!
    From
    Edmund

    The jar utility allows you to extract files as well as put them into a jar. This is in the java docs.
    You might have to hand modify the manifest file if it was hand modified in the first place. All you should have to do is copy the text from one file to another. The manifest will have the same name so you will have to extract to different dirs so it isn't overwritten.
    Steps:
    -Create dir1 and dir2
    -Extract jar1 into dir1, Extract jar2 into dir2.
    -Manually examine manifests and combine if needed.
    -Copy files from one dir to another.
    -Use jar tool to create new jar.

  • How do I list all classes in a Jar file?

    How do I list all classes in a Jar file?

    Its no problem if the jar file contains classes, but I have an EAR file, which contains a jar-file, and I want to list all classes in that jar-file.
    I would like to do something like this:
    java.util.jar.JarFile jarfile = new java.util.jar.JarFile( new File("/meYear.ear"), true );
    java.util.jar.JarEntry jar = jarfile.getJarEntry( "myJar.jar" );
    // Cast it to a new JarFile:
    java.util.jar.JarFile newJar = (java.util.jar.JarFile)jar;
    But the method getEntry returns something like jarFile$JarEntry, if I try to class cast it I get an classCastException.

  • How  to include the inner classes in a jar file in netbeans ide

    Dear java friends

    (i have one single applet class
    with two inner classes that show up
    in the build/classes file but not in the jar).
    The applet works in the viewer but not

  • Can I use addAuditTrailEntry(String message, Object detail) in a jar file?

    I have a lot of jar libraries that I need to import into my BPEL process. It's not practical for me to copy all the code flatly into an embedded java / bpelx.
    How can I call the addAuditTrailEntry method inside the classes in my jar file?
    e.g.
    I import libraries.jar at the top of my .bpel file.
    In my embedded java I do:
    MyClass myclass = new MyClass();
    myclass.doSomething();
    In the public void doSomething() method I would like to write to the audit trail directly. Currently I am simply having the doSomething() method return a String with a summary of everything it has done. This is not good enough because the method takes a long time to complete and I need a running audit trail so that I can take actions depending on what is going on in it.
    I can't seem to find the documentation... I assume in my MyClass.class I will need to import some bpel jars so that it can comprehend what a bpel process is... then pass the current process instance into the MyClass file so that it can call its addAuditTrailEntry method... is this right?
    I envision something like:
    import orabpeljars.jar
    public MyClass(BPELProcess process)
    process.addAuditTrailEntry("In MyClass Constructor");

  • JNI - How to use the error reporting mechanism?

    I've developed a C++ DLL which is loaded from a commercial Win32 application (not written by me) as a plug-in for external calculations. On its initialization the C++ DLL launches the Java VM via the JNI invocation interface. When the DLL functions are called by the application, they forward the calls to Java objects inside the Java VM, again via JNI invocation interface.
    This works well, but I have encountered a weird error.
    From Java I open a JFrame containing a JTextArea as small console for debug output messages. If I turn output to this debug console off (my printToConsole routine checks whether a boolean flag is set), the string concatenation operator may lead to a crash of the Java VM.
    For example, if in one of the Java functions called from the
    DLL via JNI invocation interface the following is the first statement,
    it leads to a crash of the Java VM and the application that loaded the C++ proxy DLL.
    String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
    Interestingly, if I comment this statement out, the Java code works fine WITHOUT any crash. I've already thought about potential races and synchronization issues in my code, but I don't see where this is the case. And the string concatenation error fails as well, if I insert sleep() statements in front of it and at other places in the code. However, if I turn on log messages printed to my JFrame debug console (containing a JTextArea), the String concatenation works without problems.
    So maybe the JNI interface has a bug and affects the Java VM; I don't see where my JNI code is wrong.
    One problem is that I do not get any stdout output, as the C++ proxy DLL is loaded by the Windows application, even if I start the Windows application from the DOS command line (under Windows).
    Does anyone know how to use the error reporting mechanism?
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/vm/error-handling.html
    Is it possible that the JVM, when it crashes, writes debug information about the crash into a file instead of stdout/stderr?
    My C++ proxy DLL was compiled in debug mode, but the commercial application (which loaded the DLL) is very likely not.
    I do not know hot to find the reason why the String concatenation fails inside the Java function called from the C++ DLL via JNI.

    Yes, I've initially thought about errors in the C++ code too. But the C++ code is actually very simple and short. It doesn't allocate anything on the C++ side. It allocates a couple of ByteBuffers inside the Java VM however via JNI invocation interface calls of env->NewDirectByteBuffer(). The native memory regions accessed via the ByteBuffers are allocated not by my own C++ code, but by the program that calls my DLL (the program is Metastock).
    The interesting thing is that everything works fine if output to my debug console is enabled, which means that in the Java print routine getConsoleLoggingState() returns true and text is appended to the jTextArea.
    static synchronized void print(String str)
    { MetaStockMonitor mMon=getInstance();
    if ( mMon.getFileLoggingState() && mMon.logFileWriter!=null) {
    mMon.logFileWriter.print(str);
    mMon.logFileWriter.flush();
    if ( mMon.getConsoleLoggingState() ) {
    mMon.jTextArea1.append(str);
    Only if output to the JTextArea is turned off (ie. getConsoleLoggingState()==false), the crash happens when the FIRST statement in the Java routine called via JNI invocation interface is a (useless) String concatenation operation, as described above.
    String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
    Moreover, the crash happens BEFORE the allocated ByteBuffer objects are accessed in the Java code. But again, if console output is turned on, it works stable. If console output is turned off, it works when the (useless) String concatenation operation is removed in the Java routine called from C++.
    I've already thought about potential races (regarding multiple threads), but this can be ruled out in my case. It almost appears as if the JVM can have problems when called by the invocation interface (I tested it with Java 1.4.2 b28).
    All the calls between C++ and Java go ALWAYS in the direction from C++ code to Java. Unfortunately, there is no special JRE version with extensive logging capabilities to facilitate debugging. And the problem is not easily reproducible either.

  • JNI - how to use java access function in TypeLibrary( .tlb file) HELP ME PL

    Hey All
    I got one project which can be done by calling up functions in xxxx.tlb
    (window type library) file, that is no problem.
    How to use java to access those functions???
    I know there are some classes which can be used to access function in
    DLL file e.g. JAWIN.
    Is the .tlb file related to one DLL file??? if so, how to locate the
    DLL file through .tlb file???
    Thanks a lot.
    Steve

    Use JNI to create a link between Java class and a DLL, then you can load that DLL (or TLB) from that class.
    Read the JNI Tutorials.
