Thorough coverage of the JNI API presented in a task-oriented reference format that answers all of the questions left out of the Java documentation or glossed over in the more general language references.

Leverage platform-specific features without compromising binary compatibility!
With the Java Native Interface API, you get the best of both worlds: access to the native platform features you need to get the job done plus full binary compatibility across multiple Java Virtual Machines. And there is no better way to master the JNI than this fast-paced, example-rich guide, which focuses on proven techniques.
Walk step-by-step through writing Java and native code components, building libraries, loading and invoking native methods, and more. Discover powerful techniques for creating Java Virtual Machines from within any native application. Learn proven approaches to integrating Java and C++ code, converting C structures, and providing serial I/O from Java on both POSIX and Win32 platforms. Get comprehensive debugging help. There's even a complete, easy-to-use API reference!
With JNI, you can leverage Java's extraordinary capabilities without sacrificing proven legacy code.
Essential JNI: Java Native Interface gives you the insight, proven techniques, and real-world sample code you'll need to get results with JNI, plus:
- A complete, task-oriented reference to the entire Java Native Interface API

Format:Paperback
This is undoubtedly the best book on JNI.The author provides examples and explanation of almost anything and everything you can do with JNI.Its also an indepth coverage into the otherwise complex field of JNI.It provides simple and accurate understanding of the concepts and even tells you the commands that you have to give to your system while working on both solaris or Windows.

This was a very bad buy. The examples are convoluted and he makes a lot of assumptions as to what you are going to be using. He is a funny writer but that doesn't make up for the lack of clarity.

The author has really done a great job presenting this important material.
In contrast to another reviewer's opinion, I think Mr Gordon's presentation of JNI is far clearer and more digestable than the JNI specification.
As an added bonus, his humerous writing style does much to relieve what could potentially be horribly dull.

This is "de BOMB"....so to speak
The only good info I've seen so far on a less-than-well-documented but desperately needy topic. JNI is daunting but this book takes most of the sting out of it. Read more
