My first JNI program on Ubuntu

1. Java code stored in directory [i]src[/i], [i]JniTest.java[/i]:

/**
 * Copyright (c) 2011 breadMaster
 *
 * Feel free to use this file.
 * 
 */
package org.breadmaster.test.jni;

/**
 * @author breadMaster
 *
 */
public class JniTest {

    public native void nativeMethod();

    static {
        System.loadLibrary("JniTest");
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JniTest jt = new JniTest();
        jt.nativeMethod();
    }

}

2. Shell command:

$ javac -d bin src/org/breadmaster/test/jni/JniTest.java

This will generate [i].class[/i] files in directory [i]bin[/i].

3. Shell command:

$ javah -jni -classpath bin -d src/org/breadmaster/test/jni/org.breadmaster.test.jni.JniTest

This will generate C++ header file [i]org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest.h[/i] in directory [i]src/org/breadmaster/test/jin/[/i]. The header file looks like this:

/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest */

#ifndef _Included_org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest
#define _Included_org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/*
 * Class:     org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest
 * Method:    nativeMethod
 * Signature: ()V
 */
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest_nativeMethod
  (JNIEnv *, jobject);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif

4. Write a C++ source file [i]JniTest.cpp[/i] in directory [i]src/org/breadmaster/test/jin/[/i] like this:

/*
 * Copyright (c) 2011 breadMaster
 *
 * Feel free to use this file.
 * 
 */

#include <jni.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest.h"

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_org_breadmaster_test_jni_JniTest_nativeMethod
  (JNIEnv *, jobject)
{
    printf("This is JNI test.\n");
}

5. Build the C++ source file to get library file, shell command:

$ g++ -shared -I /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/include/ -I /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/include/linux/ src/org/breadmaster/test/jni/JniTest.cpp -o bin/org/breadmaster/test/jni/libJniTest.so

Then you get a C++ library file [i]libJniTest.so[/i] in the [i]bin[/i] directory.

6. Run the program. Shell command:

$ java -Djava.library.path=bin/org/breadmaster/test/jni/ -classpath bin org.breadmaster.test.jni.JniTest

7. Enjoy the success. :)

$ This is JNI test.
