Java(TM) Native Interface: Programmer's Guide and Specification

Java(TM) Native Interface: Programmer's Guide and Specification, 9780201325775 (0201325772), Addison Wesley, 1999

The Java Native Interface (JNI) enables the integration of code written in the Java programming language with code written in other languages such as C and C++. It allows programmers to take full advantage of the Java platform without having to abandon their investment in legacy code.

This book is the definitive resource and a comprehensive guide to working with the JNI. Entirely up-to-date, the book offers a tutorial, a detailed description of JNI features and programming techniques, JNI design justifications, and the official specification for all JNI types and functions.

You will find coverage of important topics such as:

Writing native methods
Passing data types between the Java language and native programming languages
Embedding a Java virtual machine implementation in native applications
Leveraging legacy native libraries
Improving the efficiency and reliability of your code

An entire chapter is devoted to avoiding common traps and pitfalls. The book uses numerous examples to illustrate programming techniques that have proven to be effective.

About the Author

Sheng Liang, a staff engineer in Java Software at Sun Microsystems, Inc., designed the JNI and led the Java virtual machine development for the first release of the Java 2 platform. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Yale University.
