Native library can be loaded by loadLibrary with a valid name. By example, libXXXX.so for linux family, your hellolib.so should rename to libhello.so.
By the way, I develop java with jni, I will separate the implementation and native interface (.c or .cpp).
static {
System.loadLibrary("hello"); // will load libhello.so
}
The implementation header(HelloImpl.h):
#ifndef _HELLO_IMPL_H
#define _HELLO_IMPL_H
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
void sayHello ();
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif
HelloImpl.cpp:
#include "HelloImpl.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void sayHello () {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return;
}
Hello.c (I prefer to compile jni in c):
#include <jni.h>
#include "Hello.h"
#include "HelloImpl.h"
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_Hello_sayHello (JNIEnv *env, jobject obj) {
sayHello();
return;
}
Finally, we can compile them in some steps:
- compile obj (generate HelloImpl.o)
g++ -c -I”/opt/java/include”
-I”/opt/java/include/linux” HelloImpl.cpp
- compile jni with .o
g++ -I”/opt/java/include”
-I”/opt/java/include/linux” -o libhello.so -shared
-Wl,-soname,hello.so Hello.c HelloImpl.o -static -lc
in step 2, we use g++ to compile it. This is very important. yor can see How to mix C and C++
After compilation, you can check the function naming with nm:
$ nm libhello.so |grep say
00000708 T Java_Hello_sayHello
00000784 t _GLOBAL__I_sayHello
00000718 T sayHello
There is a Java_Hello_sayHello marked T. It should extactly equal to your native method name. If everything is ok. you can run it:
$ java -Djava.library.path=. Hello
Hello World!
