java call cobol routine?

[yzy888yzy]

Hello,

I would like to call Cobol routines (NETCOBOL) from a Java
application via the JNI.
Is it possible directly?
Do I need to use C++ code in between?
Does someone have some examples?

Yes. I assume you are using Windows. Compile your NetCobol into a DLL. JNI are designed to call Windows DLLs regardless of the language.

Do I need to use C++ code in between?

JNI is C++. If you can call your DLL with C++, so can JNI.

Does someone have some examples?

Since you appear fluent in C++, you can code a simple C++ routine to call your DLL.

Thanks!

As a matter of fact I am fluent in cobol(mainframe but now I try in windows) and Java, but not at all in C++, so I am glad to know it can work directly.
i will start to search seriously now i know it is possible.
