This sample provides C# "Hello World" program that is invoked

from Java application in the same process.

There is no way to invoke .NET methods from Java classes directly,

it is necessary to use native code level.

The sample contains C++ library that can invoke any .NET program by mscorlib library.

Using the JNI the Java application invokes the C# "Hello World".

The sample contains the following files:

Makefile - make file

README.txt - this readme

invoked.cs - the invoked HelloWorld Java program

invoker.java - C# invoker application

invoker.cpp - C++ wrapper

invokerExp.h - wrapper library exports

invoker.h - javah generated file with the native method definition

After the success making the following files are produced:

invoked.exe - the executable HelloWorld .NET program

invoker.class - the compiled Java class that invokes the .NET program

invoker.dll - the wrapper library

The following environment needs to be set for the correct sample

build and execution:

INCLUDE must contain the paths to:

1. MS Visual C++ standard include

2. .NET SDK include

3. Java includes

Example: %MSDEV%/VC98/Include;%DOTNET%/Include;%JAVA_HOME%/include;%JAVA_HOME%/include/win32

LIB must contain the paths to:

1. MS Visual C++ standard libraries

2. .NET SDK libraries

Example: %MSDEV%/VC98/Lib;%DOTNET%/Lib

PATH must contain the paths to:

1. MS Visual C++ standard bin

2. MS Dev common bin

3. .NET SDK libraries

4. Java bin

Example: %MSDEV%/VC98/Bin;%MSDEV%/Common/MSDev98/Bin;%DOTNET%/Lib;%JAVA_HOME%/bin;%PATH%

To run the sample please do:

java invoker invoked.exe
