As I mentioned in my question, I have already written a JNI library for Windows and Solaris for SQLite they work fine. And no Jay, you can't "link" DLLs/Shared Libraries into Java, you can bind to them via a JNI container.
The attraction of a pure Java solution is obvious - if a client wants this app to run on VMS then I've got to create another JNI library that is VMS specific. Id you've ever written any JNI you'll know why this isn't an all together pleasurable experience. I've tried the C2J application and that actually looks like it does a reasonbale job but with a whole load of missing stuff, mainly in pager.c I'll have another crack at it when I get a bit more time.

Uh, why isn't your first choice simply, "Use SQLite from Java"? Surely calling C libraries is something the Java folks have worked out how to do many years ago? Or what am I missing here? What is the attraction of "pure Java"? -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/
