hello, I had tried to use JNI whithin a shared library, but I can't start the virtual machine. All works right within a stand-alone application, but we I invoke the jvm from the shared library. Can anubody help me? or point me to what I doing wrong. Sorry for my poor english, and thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------- David Martínez Oliveira E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal WEB Page : http://wgpi.tsc.uvigo.es/~dyc EDMA WEBSite : http://wgpi.tsc.uvigo.es/~dyc/EDMASite --------------------------------------------------------------------
