Re: Call system API from Java

There really isn't any particular reason, it just seems like "native" is the better way to go, especially if I can 1) Learn something new and 2) If the effort isn't a whole lot more than using JT400.

I have done a bit of JNI stuff in Windows/Linux and with wasn't too hairy.  Just wondered about IBM i and doing the same.

Can't seem to find an example of this that doesn't involve using the jt400 toolkit or PCML.  I also thought *I* had written one of these at one time but can't seem to dig it up.  The goal is to make a call to a system API in Java. Similar, I guess, to the Java API's that wrap system API's found in JT400 (which must exist but I haven't found a good example there either)

Pete:

I'm curious ... why not use JT400?  PCML makes program calls very easy and portable.
