The invocation api is the C/C++ API presented by the java libraries to startup a java interpreter inside a native application. You can just startup the interpreter and start your main method, or you can interact in either direction from native to bytecode and vice versa. See the JNI section of your java docs.

That's great stuff. Next up, Apple Macintosh!" Seriously though, what is this Invocation API? Is it operating system specific or pure Java?

Someone on my team is writing a small native NT program to locate the JRE, etc., based on registry settings, then launch a java runtime via the invocation API. We'd rather not be doing native code, but it does make our application appear to be native so users don't have to know its java or treat it differently... Unfortunately, I'm not able to post the source, but its not that complicated.
