J/Direct Articles and Reference
Microsoft® J/Direct™ is a new feature that provides easy access to Windows dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). Using J/Direct, you can make direct calls to standard Win32 system DLLs (such as KERNEL32 and USER32) and third-party DLLs. J/Direct is far simpler to use than the older Raw Native Interface or the Java Native Interface (known as RNI and JNI, respectively), both of which require you to write a specialized wrapper DLL and perform all non-trivial data type translations yourself. With J/Direct, the majority of pre-existing DLL functions can be invoked simply by declaring the function and calling it. J/Direct uses the @dll.import directive, which is similar in usage and in spirit to the Visual Basic® DECLARE facility.
