Using KNI to launch a c program from java

Here's my env: Garmin iQue 3600 running Palm OS 5, with iQue GPS installed. I've downloaded the most current cldc/midp packages.
I'm modifying a j2me inventory app which needs to access a GPS library (in C) to suck lat/long values into the j2me app.
How do you use KNI to load the needed library? I don't see a method in the System or Runtime classes of the KVM such as System.loadLibrary("nativelib") in JNI.
Any help from someone who has done this would be greatly appreciated. This is my first app on a handheld, and I must be missing something?!

Hi Harshad,
I have a possible solution, but haven't had the time to do a proof-of-concept yet (working on another app now).
I want to use CDC/Foundation Profile/Other Profiles as needed instead of CLDC/MIDP. The CDC has the full System class, with JNI functionality. I'd write a small library in C which is JNI aware, and able to call the native C library for the lat/long values my app needs.
I should be able to load my C library from my app using System.loadLibrary() and invoke a native method I write to bridge the gap to the native method I need. My client device has lots of RAM and processor speed, so I think it would work.
I was told that http://www.superwaba.com.br/en/default.asp these people also have a "VM" that contains JNI functionality, but haven't looked at it yet.

How do I call a C++ program from Java?

I've tried using Runtime.exec to call my C++ program from Java but I don't think I'm doing it correctly. Could someone explain how to properly use it? Here's what I'm trying (this is in an applet that is only going to be running on an intranet so only PCs in my LAN will be affected):
Runtime runtime=runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc =runtime.exec("mkdir C:\\Test");

What do you expect your operating system should do with a command "mkdir"? It doesn't understand this. "mkdir" is a shell command, so you need to execute the shell:
runtime.exec("cmd /c mkdir C:\\test");

How to Call abap functn/program from java layer

Hi all,
I have to develop a program which has to call abap function/program from java side or how to call a abap program through java ..
pls send me related links or explanations.. dont send unrelated answers..
Regards,
Arivarasu S

Hi,
You mean accessing ABAP functions from J2EE perspective, then I think we can do this by using SAP Java Resource Adapter and also through webservices.
SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA) can be used as an add-on for the SAP JCo SAP JRA enables the implementation of standard interfaces from diverse J2EE servers to the SAP JCo in the SAP Web AS. The SAP JRA thus simplifies
communication with ABAP within heterogeneous J2EE landscapes.
Go through the following links which has Good documentation on how to achieve this

Error in calling 'C' Program from Java

Hi,
We developed a 'C' Program and during compilation, we got a couple of Incompatible Prototype warnings. Then we made a Jni call to 'C' program from Java Program. The program returned a "Unsatisfied Link Error - unreference Symbol not found" error.
Does Jni call fails owing to warnings by compiler?
We are using Sun Solaris 2.8.
Request your assistance as this a urgent issue.
Thanks
Srini

Did you try running your C program through g++? It sounds like something is broken, but GCC often will allow you to compile anyways.

how can i combine java and prolog programs. i used visual prolog.
Can someone help me?
Thanks you in advance.

Since visual prolog can produce dll's, you can use JNI:

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

Running a program from Java

how do i launch one Java program from another?
both .class files and the JRE directory are in the same directory

You can use Runtime.exec() to run it as a seperate process, or you can always instantiate your secondary class. Do a search on the term "runtime.exec()" befure you go spawning another thread asking how to use it. That particular subject has been done to death many times already.

Starting a external program from java

hi iam trying to start MySQL server from java, the command in dos is as follows C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u username -p ,then the user hits return and the user is prompted to enter a password. i have got as far as entering the the C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u username -p but dont know how get the prompt back to the java program i would be greatfull if anyone could tell me where iam not doing,heres my code so far
try{
Runtime r=null;
r=r.getRuntime();
Process p=r.exec("C:/mysql/bin/mysql -u mark_r -p");
p.waitFor();}
catch(Exception ex){System.out.print("Error");}}

You should try using the getOutputStream() and getInputStream() methods for the Process object. Each returns either an inputStream or OutputStream object.
You should be careful if the mySQL password is added to the command since anyone doing a 'ps' on the machine could see the password.

Closing a running windows XP program from java

...but i dont know how to close it unless ive already run it from java.
Any help appreciated!

Search the web for the NT Toolkit. It has utilities that you can use to kill a process on NT type os's.

Oops - meant to say "Controlling Legacy DOS program from Java ..."

Sorry - don't know what I wasn't thinking - muddled up my post title!
As part of my final year project, I'm trying to control a camera mount automatically using stepper motors. This will then be used for robotic navigattion. Most of my code is written in Java, but I have been given some old C code to control the motors with. One loaded, it sits in an infinite loop that waits for keyboard input, resonds, loops, and so on ...
I'm trying desperately to find a way of issuing commands to this program from my Java programs. I tried to implement a listening server in the C code but got a bit bogged down. Now wonder if I can use the
exec and getOutputStream methods in Java to control the Dos program...?
Any ideas very very welcome. I've reached hair pulling out time!

Everything is now woeking...ish:
I can now make the below java program bring up, for instance, windows calculator or notepad.
I can't test it on the main code yet at I don't have the right computer in front of me. However, I decided to try to test it by runing cmd using ...exec("cmd"), then printing a command to the output stream to make windows calculator run. This caused precisely nothing to happen ...
Any ideas?
import java.io.*;
class java_test
public static void main(String[] args)
          try
          Process p= Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd");
          InputStream is= p.getInputStream();
          OutputStream os= p.getOutputStream();
          PrintStream printStr = new PrintStream(os);
          printStr.println("calc.exe");

Read the output of the iseries CL Program from Java

I have a Java program running on the iseries(AS400). I need to call a CL program from this JAVA.I have to pass 7 arguments to it.Out of 7, three are input parameters to CL and other 4 are its output parameters to the calling JAVA program. I am using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(arguments) to call the CL. Please suggest me how to read the output from the CL in the JAVA program.

Launching command containing pipe from Java

Hi,
i have some troubles to launch a command containing pipe from java.
I've tried to backslash the pipe but it still not work.
Maybe someone has an idea about that :
head -102050 /data/a_very_big_file | tail -5
the idea is to get 5 lines in the middle of a very big file.
To launch commands from java i use i think the classical way,
something like :
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commande[0], this.envp, new File(this.pathExecution));
I obtain this error :
ERROR : head: invalid option -- 5
ERROR : Try `head --help' for more information.
Thanks for your help,
kevin.

kevleb wrote:
yes same result...
but i think the problem come from the fact
that when you pipe your result of a command,
you launch an other process (is that true).i don't know if another process is launched (the probability is rather high, though)
but even if that's the case, from the time you rely on a shell and not directly on exec(), i think it shouldn't be a problem to include a | inside the command ; i don't have an idea why it gives you that message error :\
