How to call a MS Windows dll from within Java

[Paul]

Hi Every one,

I am beginner to Java programming. I would like to know how to call a Windows
dll from a java app or applet. Does any body know how?


Thanks for your help.

There are products available that allow you to do that, such as JIntegra
from http://www.intrinsyc.com. I don't know why you would try to call one
from an applet, because you would have to get around the applet security
rules that prevent you from doing that (possible), and you would have to
rely on the client having the DLL (impossible).

Paul,

As far as Java application is concern; you can call Windows DLL using Java
Native Interface (JNI) but in applet i am not sure becaue in that case security
comes into picture.
