Import Dll Into Java Program by webmonkey(op): 5:46pm On Sep 28, 2011*

Please, has some done a similar project in the past like this. I am interfacing a document management system (DMS) with a foreign trade application for a bank. The trade application has a new version completely written in Java around J2EE. The earlier version was mixed technologies i.e, VB, Java, C, C++ and ASPX and the interface was done using .COM

The document management systems API is on a DLL (Dynamic Link Library). There is no way we can see the contents of this DLL. But the methods it exposes are well documentated for interfacing.

Now, the new version of the foreign trade application can only interface with any other third party DMS using java. All the DMS API are in DLL. Is there anyway someone can import a DLL into java and be able to call the functions in that DLL?

Using JNI requires that you implement the DLL signature which I don't know, hence in DLL. Using System.load(directoryToDLL) throws errors.
