I have a Scanner API that contains a DLL (LsApi.dll) and I have to use its methods with JAVA using JNI. I tried to use the first method (LSConnect) wich return an integer LS_OKAY if the device is correctly connected or LS_PERIPHERAL_NOT_FOUND if not , and unfortunately, i always get errors.
this is my code in Java:
public class Scanner {
public final static short LS_515_USB = 502;
private static final short hconnect = 0;
public final int LS_OKAY = 0;
public native static int LSConnect(int hWnd, int hlnst, short Peripheral,
short hConnect);
static {
System.loadLibrary("lsApi");
}
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Scanner();
System.out.println("connexion établie: "
+ Scanner.LSConnect(0, 0, LS_515_USB, hconnect));
}
}
and this is a example of C# defines of all the methods :
C# Defines
namespace WindowsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
// from lsapi.h
[DllImport(@"lsapi.dll")]
internal extern static int LSConnect(int hWnd, int hInst, short Peripheral,ref short hConnect);
[DllImport(@"lsapi.dll")]
internal extern static int LSDisconnect (short hConnect,int hWnd);
[DllImport(@"lsapi.dll")]
internal extern static int LSSaveJPEG( int hwnd, int hImage,int quality, string filename );
[DllImport(@"lsapi.dll")]
internal extern static int LSSaveDIB(int hWnd, int hImage, string filename);

You can't call a .dll directly through JNI just by calling LoadLibrary and defining a native method (unlike C#). You would need to write a "bridge" library (separate .dll) in C that wraps the lsapi.dll and converts the JNI calling conventions to the lsapi calling conventions.
I highly recommend using JNA rather than writing your own JNI DLL. Calling a .dll using JNA is pretty near trivial. There are plenty of resources on the web to help, and searching for Java + JNA on stackoverflow will yield lots of help.
