    <p><em><strong>For question #1:</em></strong></p> <p>You can use a jchar. Primitive chars in java are not signed, it's about the only primitive that isn't. Note that jchar is a UTF-16 char, so you will have to "map" the jchar to a regular char, as you would have to with any character conversion issue. For simple conversions, this can typically be done by casting</p> <pre><code>char c_char = (char)java_char; </code></pre> <p>because the core ASCII shares the same numeric values between ASCII and UTF-16. However, this is prone to error should anyone actually attempt to pass a "special" character through the interface. A much better way would be to (in the java side, as it is easier) convert the characters to bytes using the appropriate character set for your platform (to ensure platform compatibility in the C layers). Then you only need to pass a byte[] to the JNI call, and the bytes will correctly correspond to the characters that C likely will expect.</p> <p><em><strong>For question #2:</em></strong></p> <p>If your <code>CheckEnrollmentExists(...)</code> method is the JNI binding entry point, you cannot change data types safely. That means that all entry inputs must be JNI data type values. While you might be able to select the C data type equivalents (and you might be able to get your compiler to do it anyway) such techniques should be frowned upon. This implicitly means that JNI entry points cannot accept struct data structure not defined in the JNI headers. In other words, you can't pass your own struct to the method.</p> <p>If the method needs access to a C struct across calls, use another means. I've seen people store the pointer to the allocated data structure in a member integer or long (doing correct casting). You can then rewrite the native code side to retrieve the pointer from the "this" object being passed into the call, and the do a dereference to obtain the required data.</p> <p><em><strong>For Question #3:</em></strong></p> <p>This is actually the same as question #2. In the "binding wrapper" you put, you would retrieve the pointer's stored value in the java object's int or long field, cast it to the appropriate struct pointer and then pass it to the internal method. As the passing of the pointer is a C to C call, no extra magic is required.</p>
