Good afternoon all,
My apologies in advance for posting this to so many newsgroups, and for
posting what may be blindingly obvious to some.
We are in the process of porting a very large legacy system from UNIX to
Windows NT. Most of the code in this system is written in ada (with a
smattering of C and FORTRAN). The user interface uses the X window System.
We need to be able to call java from an ada main routine (we plan to build
the user interface in java), and to have java call the legacy ada code. We
will be using Rational's ada compiler. We *can* get this to work by having
ada call C which will then call java (using the Java Native Interface); or
java calling C (using the Java Native Interface), which will then call ada.
However, we would very much prefer to call java directly from ada, and ada
from java, in order to avoid the extra layers of code that would be
required.
Have others been faced with this sort of situation (ada calling java calling
ada), and if so, how did you solve the problem?
