Problems with JNI Invocation Interface

[Dr. Dave Landis]

Greetings:

I have a group of Java classes that I need to invoke from a Win32 DLL. The
following code, when executed from a stand-alone EXE works just fine. When
I insert it into my DLL, the JNI_CreateJavaVM function hangs. I'm not even
getting around to calling my classes, just trying to start the VM. The
jvm.dll is in my path. I've tried linking various MS runtimes, all to the
same effect -- the call to JNI_CreateJavaVM hangs permanently ( as a side
note, when this function is called, hpi.sll, verify.dll, java.dll and
zip.dll all get loaded, then the hang occurs). Please help. I'm in a
desparate time crunch.

Nevermind. It turns out that you can call JNI_CreateJavaVM from the DllMain
of a DLL. No clue why, but if I move the call out of DllMain, it all works.
