java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError - JNI

Question

I keep getting a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError error every time I run my program. I have a native, a wrapper, and the program to call the native through the wrapper.

main.h

#ifndef __MAIN_H__
#define __MAIN_H__

#include <windows.h>
#ifdef BUILD_DLL
    #define DLL_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
    #define DLL_EXPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

#include<jni.h>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

extern "C"
{

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL native_MessageBox(string text, string title);

}

#endif

main.cpp

#include "main.h"

#include<windows.h>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL MsgBox(string text, string title)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, text.c_str(), title.c_str(), MB_OK);
}

extern "C" DLL_EXPORT BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason,
LPVOID lpvReserved)
{
    switch (fdwReason)
    {
        case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
            break;

        case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
            break;

        case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
            break;

        case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
            break;
    }
    return TRUE;
}

Wrapper.java

public class Wrapper
{
   private static File nativeFile = null;

       static
   {
            //ArchitectureReader and OSReader are classes I made to read the CPU              
            //bits and the OS
    ArchitectureType archType = ArchitectureReader.getArcitecture();
    OSType osType = OSReader.getOS();

    String filename = "C:/native-";

    if (osType == OSType.Windows)
    {
        if (archType == ArchitectureType.BITS_32)
            filename += "win32";
        else if (archType == ArchitectureType.BITS_64)
            filename += "win64";
        else
            System.exit(1);
    }
    else
        System.exit(1);

    nativeFile = new File(filename + ".dll");
    if (!nativeFile.exists())
        System.exit(1);

    System.load(filename); //This is where the Exception is thrown
}

private static native void native_MessageBox(String text, String title);
public static void MesageBox(String text, String title)
{
    native_MessageBox(text, title);
}

public static String getNativePath()
{
    return nativeFile.getAbsolutePath();
}
}

Main.Java

public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    Wrapper.MessageBox("Testing JNI", "JNI");
}
}

The native was built using MinGW 64 bit. Anyway, I don't get why I get the error. Help?????

Solution 1

I think the problem is that your JNI signature doesn't match. That is:

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL native_MessageBox(string text, string title);

should be something like:

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL java_com_example_Wrapper_native_MessageBox(string text, string title);

where, java_com_example should be replaced with your package name (. to be replace with _ in package name).

OR

I would suggest you to generate your native function signature and declaration using javah -jni option available in java.

Solution 2

If you test with

nativeFile = new File(filename + ".dll");
    if (!nativeFile.exists())
        System.exit(1);

you should use it !!

System.load(nativeFile);

There are two different ways to load a native library into a running Java program:

• System.loadLibrary(String) and System.load(String).

• The System.loadLibrary method allows us to load a library from the "default" path.

  System.loadLibrary("HelloWorld");

• System.load allows us to load a library from anywhere via its absolute path.
  System.load("c:/path/to/dll/HelloWorld.dll");

Yep, i just had a similar problem. Was trying to use a lib from another jni project but kept getting this UnsatisfiedLinkError since I was using a different package name than the original project. Used the original package name in the new project and problem resolved.
