Re: Help needed in JNI function call

The thought that comes to mind is that as a service, other services or
programs it expects to be there might not be running yet when it launches.
JNI seems to not be initialized properly yet when your program comes up as a
service.

There is a great deal of difference between running as a service and
running in the command window.

First of all, consider who the service is running as. Is it the same
user as you are using to run the command prompt?

Second, consider that the service does not "log in" before it is
executed. This can cause some environmental differences. (E.g., when
you log in, your administrator may have set up a number of mapped drives
that are automatically activated. If no one is logged in, the drives
are not mapped.)

In your specific problem, I recommend attempting to discover if the
class can be loaded within "standard" java (i.e no JNI) using a
reference to the class and then using Class.forName() .
