POLoading a Windows DLL in Java and initiate a class from it
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a Windows DLL file from .NET, namely "System.Management.dll". I work with it using the code I write below:</p> <pre><code>ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE Name = 'C:'"); foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get()) { Console.WriteLine("Win32_LogicalDisk instance: "); if (queryObj["VolumeSerialNumber"] != null) { Console.WriteLine("Drive Name : " + queryObj["Name"]); Console.WriteLine("VolumeSerialNumber:", queryObj["VolumeSerialNumber"]); SysdriveSerial = queryObj["VolumeSerialNumber"].ToString(); } } </code></pre> <p>Now I need this piece of code to be in Java. So can I do this? Without anything like c++ unmanaged code. I don't want to use c++ unmanaged code to call to this dll.</p> <p>I want something like this : </p> <pre><code>public class CallToCsharp { private static native void ManagementObjectSearcher(); public static void main(String[] args) { System.loadLibrary("System.Management"); System.out.println("Loaded"); ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE Name = 'C:'"); } } </code></pre> <p>Well this last code I have to put it in Java. How can I load this DLL and call the DLL to instantiate the native class in DLL and use its methods?</p> <h2>Update</h2> <p>I saw the thing, it seems it's a lot of work to do in case I have to use that class, like selecting each of them in .net Reflector and converting them to jar files. Now as per that tutorial I saw the jar files don't contain any real code to be used.</p> <p>How to use it? I mean if I need to generate the jar file actually working with the code enough. How to go about it?</p> <p>And aren't there any alternatives to this?</p>
