Java Native Access (JNA) is an open-source library that simplifies using the Java Native Interface (JNI) to call native code from Java. JNA allows Java programs to integrate with operating system features, architecture features, and native libraries without needing to write JNI code. JNA maps Java types like int and String to native C types and provides interfaces to call native functions. Developers can write Java code to call native functions without needing to generate header files or write JNI wrapper code. JNA uses JNI and libffi to dispatch calls to native code.

public class HelloJni {
public native int msgBox(String s);
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.loadLibrary(”HelloJni”);
new HelloJni().msgBox(”Hello␣World!”);
}
}

![JNA Example
import com.sun.jna.*;
public class HelloJna {
public interface UserLib extends Library {
int MB_ICONINFORMATION = 0x40;
int MessageBoxA(Pointer p, String s,
String t, int type);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
UserLib lib = (UserLib)
Native.loadLibrary(”user32”, UserLib.class);
lib.MessageBoxA(null, ”Hello␣World!”, ”Demo”,
lib.MB_ICONINFORMATION);

- 1. . JNA . Java Native Access Robert Bachmann JSUG/JUGAT Meeting #59 1
- 2. Motivation • JNI (Java Native Interface) allows Java programs to call native code • JNA is an open-source library that simpli es using JNI (Java Native Interface) 2
- 3. Reasons for “going native” • • • • Integration Using operating system features (e.g: SWT) Using architecture features (e.g: SSE, RdRand) Performance (e.g: tomcat-native) 3
- 4. Hello World with Windows API int WINAPI MessageBoxA( HWND hWnd, LPCTSTR lpText, LPCTSTR lpCaption, UINT uType ); 4
- 5. JNI Example (1/3) public class HelloJni { public native int msgBox(String s); public static void main(String[] args) { System.loadLibrary(”HelloJni”); new HelloJni().msgBox(”Hello␣World!”); } } 5
- 6. JNI Example (2/3) // generated by javah from HelloJni.class #include <jni.h> /* ... /* * Class: HelloJni * Method: msgBox * Signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)I */ JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_HelloJni_msgBox (JNIEnv *, jobject, jstring); 6
- 7. JNI Example (3/3) #include <windows.h> #include ”HelloJni.h” JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_HelloJni_msgBox( JNIEnv *env, jobject o, jstring s) { const char *ns = (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, s, NULL); int i = MessageBoxA( NULL, ns, ”Demo”, MB_ICONINFORMATION); (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, s, ns); return i; } 7
- 8. JNA Example import com.sun.jna.*; public class HelloJna { public interface UserLib extends Library { int MB_ICONINFORMATION = 0x40; int MessageBoxA(Pointer p, String s, String t, int type); } public static void main(String[] args) { UserLib lib = (UserLib) Native.loadLibrary(”user32”, UserLib.class); lib.MessageBoxA(null, ”Hello␣World!”, ”Demo”, lib.MB_ICONINFORMATION); } } 8
- 9. Java type mappings • • • • • • int → int32_t short → int16_t long → int64_t String → char* byte → char char → int16_t 9
- 10. JNA mapping classes • WString → wchar_t* • Pointer → void* • PlatformLong → long 10
- 11. More features • • • • Array mapping Structures Callbacks Wrapper generator (JNAerator, third party) 11
- 12. Implementation • Dispatch code implemented using JNI and libffi • jna.jar contains platform binaries 12
- 15. Questions? 15
