Problem: Native method only works one

Question

Hi, I have this class that calls the GetShortName method from the windows API.I have created the asociated DLL and everything went quite smooth.
My problem is that when I make a new object of the class GetShortNameA and use the method TranslateIntoShort(String) this only works the fist time.
The rest of the times I try to use this method with other arguments I am getting the same answer that I was getting the first time I call it.
Why can this be and how can I fix it??
I have tried declaring the TranslateIntoShort method non-static, but then the whole thing doesn't work (evena fter regenerating the h file and the DLL).
package alfagui_1;
public class GetShortNameA {
public GetShortNameA() {
static{
System.loadLibrary("GetShortPathNameA");
public static native String TranslateIntoShort(String LongName);
GetShortNameA ShortName = new GetChortNameA();
First time:
ShortName.TranslateIntoShort("C:\Mina Dokument\alfa")-->"C:\Minado~1\alfa"
Sucessive calls:
ShortName.TranslateIntoShort(WHATEVER)-->"C:\Minado~1\alfa"
Thanks for your help
