Re: IIS, tomcat and java ...

You need to use JNI to access the methods in the .dll.  If you have already
done that from an application, create a jsp or servlet that uses the class
and call the appropriate methods.

Here is a quick example of a Java class that calls native .dll:

public class DllTest{
    //Two native method from the 'mydll.dll'
    public native String[] returnTestArray();
    public native String getTestString();

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

    //Test the native methods and print results to ServletOutputStream
    public static void test(ServletOutputStream out) {
        DllTest newDll = new DllTest();
        out.println(newDll.getTestString());
        String[] ar = newDll.returnTestArray();
        for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {
           out.println("array element"+i+ "=" + ar[i]);
        }
    }
}

Here are the methods in C++ using JNI:

#include "stdafx.h"
//JNI header
#include "jni.h"
//Notice I create a header file to use from my preious
//Java class using 'javah' utility
#include "DllTest.h"

JNIEXPORT jobjectArray JNICALL Java_ArrayHandler_returnArray
  (JNIEnv *env, jobject jobj){

    jobjectArray ret;
    int i;

    char *message[5]= {"first",
     "second",
     "third",
     "fourth",
     "fifth"};

    ret= (jobjectArray)env->NewObjectArray(5,
         env->FindClass("java/lang/String"),
         env->NewStringUTF(""));

    for(i=0;i<5;i++) {
        env->SetObjectArrayElement(ret,i,env->NewStringUTF(message[i]));
    }
    return(ret);
  }


JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_ArrayHandler_lastFile
(JNIEnv *env, jobject){
    return  env->NewStringUTF("Test String");
}


Here is a .jsp file that calls the class which calls the .dll:

<%@ page session="false"%>

<html>
<body>
<%DllTest.test(out);%>
</body>
</html>

The results should be:
Test String
array element0=first
array element1=second
...

I hope all of this helps.  And don't worry about the English; I am sure I
don't speak your language well either.
