JNI from a geronimo EJB

[Chris Brooking]

I need to access a windows library from an EJB. So far, wherever I have put the class with the native methods it fails. If I include it in the EAR file it comes up with an error saying it cannot load the DLL as it has already been loaded in a different class loader. I tried loading it as a common library, but deployment fails with a null pointer exception. I have also tried putting it in the geronimo-1.0\lib directory, but then the EJB fails to deploy with a class not found error.

Is it possible to use JNI from an EJB on geronimo? If so where should I place the library or how should I deploy it?
