Dealing with chinese characters in JNI

[rukawa]

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on JNI and need some help regarding the storage of chinese characters.

Within Java, I have a String of chinese characters and this i send into C++, which accepts it as a jstring. I'll need to use this string as a char* format to input into other DLLs, and have tried many conversions but I just can't get back the chinese characters in char* form. Can anyone help me in this by giving a short example code please? Thanks alot!

That Java String is passed to C or C++ as a jstring. The JNI interface offers a few functions that can extract the UTF-8 encoded char sequences. Read the fine manual.

kind regards,

Jos

That is, research Unicode.

No one today writing serious code should be using char*.

Ok, thanks to both to you :)

Anyway, the other DLLs require char* as input, that I can't change, but well, thanks for the pointer, I'll bear that in mind for future coding :)
