Linking C++ and Java

[strowa65]

Hi,

I've written my source code in C++. I want to link it with an applet which will accept the input and show the output. Is it possible or, do i have to convert my source code to java

I'm not sure it can be done via an applet because the class files are downloaded locally.

You can link it into a Java application via JNI but unless you have a load of code I wouldn't bother and would rewrite it in Java.

it is nearly 1000 lines of code...and i know just the basics of java, so will learning JNI take time? I have a deadline too...

That's probably borderline. JNI is doable but like I said, it doesn't work with applets.

That shows you how to link C code with Java. Shouldn't be too difficult to expand it to C++.

Here's another guide that works in more general terms.
