RH8: Java Src to Shared Libs

[Mike - EMAIL IGNORED]

I have a C++ Red Hat 8.0 program that will need
to use some utilities written in Java. I would
like to a generate shared library from the Java
code that will be linked into the C++ program
so that everything runs in one process.
Can this be done? Where do I begin?

Thanks in advance,
Mike.

This newsgroup discusses the ISO C++ standard language and library.
What you're asking cannot be solved in terms of ISO C++ alone.

I think JNI is exactly what you're looking for. Also, find yourself a
good Java forum; they should be able to help you.

No doubt a java group would consider reference to c++ off-topic.
This narrow view is an anathema to effective productivity.

JNI is part of what Sun is marketing as Java. Therefore, it had better be on-topic.
