JNI .NET - Java calling native C++ and .NET

Amir Shevat — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 01:18:08 -0500

Three weeks ago I presented in SUN’s java technology day. I show interoperability between .NET and java in several ways- JNI (java native interface), DB (shared database), SOA (web services intergration), and open standards (with OPENXML).
Some people asked me to share the JNI code I demonstrated because there is very little documentation and examples out in the web of java calling C++ managed code, especially using visual studio 2005 and orcas.
This is a simple example of java application calling a native C++ dll and a managed C++ dll.

Scaling Enterprise Java on 64-bit Multi-Core X86-Based Servers - Today's enterprise server--indeed, the environment--isn't what it was when Java was born. Slow networked machines have been replaced by fast, 64-bit multi-core servers that can house all your tiers in one box or even virtualize servers within the server.

What is Java Content Repository - You might have heard of JSR-170, but what is a content repository, and what can you do with it? Well, do you want to manage documents with versioning, search, access control, and more? Content repositories offer these features, and JSR-170 codifies them into a single API. Sunil Patil shows how to use the reference implementation--Apache Jackrabbit--to create a blogging application. [on java]
