programmers to write native methods to handle situations when an application cannot be written entirely in the Java programming language, e.g. when the standard Java <a href="/wiki/Class_(computer_science)" class="mw-redirect" title="Class (computer science)">class</a> <a href="/wiki/Library_(computer_science)" class="mw-redirect" title="Library (computer science)">library</a> does not support the platform-specific features or program library. It is also used to modify an existing application (written in another programming language) to be accessible to Java applications. Many of the standard library classes depend on JNI to provide functionality to the developer and the user, e.g. file I/O and sound capabilities. Including performance- and platform-sensitive API implementations in the standard library allows all Java applications to access this functionality in a safe and platform-independent manner. </p><p>The JNI framework lets a native method use Java <a href="/wiki/Object_(computer_science)" title="Object (computer science)">objects</a> in the same way that Java code uses these objects. A native method can create Java objects and then inspect and use these objects to perform its tasks. A native method can also inspect and use objects created by Java application code. </p><p>Only applications and signed applets can invoke JNI. </p><p>An application that relies on JNI loses the platform portability Java offers (a partial workaround is to write a separate implementation of JNI code for each platform and have Java detect the operating system and load the correct one at runtime). </p><p>Not only can native code interface with Java, it can also draw on a Java <code><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/api/java.desktop/java/awt/Canvas.html">Canvas</a></code>, which is possible with the <a href="/wiki/Java_AWT_Native_Interface" title="Java AWT Native Interface">Java AWT Native Interface</a>.

(C++ provides a slightly simpler interface with JNI.) When the JVM invokes the function, it passes a <code>JNIEnv</code> pointer, a <code>jobject</code> pointer, and any Java arguments declared by the Java method. For example, the following converts a Java string to a native string: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-cpp mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="k">extern</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s">"C"</span> <span class="n">JNIEXPORT</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kt">void</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">JNICALL</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">Java_ClassName_MethodName</span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">JNIEnv</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">env</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">jobject</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">obj</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">jstring</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">javaString</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="k">const</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kt">char</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">nativeString</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="o">=</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">env</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="n">GetStringUTFChars</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">javaString</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="c1">//Do something with the nativeString</span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="n">env</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="n">ReleaseStringUTFChars</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">javaString</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">nativeString</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="p">}</span> </pre></div> <p>The <i><code>env</code></i> pointer is a structure that contains the interface to the JVM. It includes all of the functions necessary to interact with the JVM and to work with Java objects. Example JNI functions are converting native arrays to/from Java arrays, converting native strings to/from Java strings, instantiating objects, throwing exceptions, etc. Basically, anything that Java code can do can be done using <code>JNIEnv</code>, albeit with considerably less ease. </p><p>The argument <i><code>obj</code></i> is a reference to the Java object inside which this native method has been declared. </p><p>Native <a href="/wiki/Data_type" title="Data type">data types</a> can be mapped to/from Java data types. For compound types such as objects, <a href="/wiki/Array_data_structure" class="mw-redirect" title="Array data structure">arrays</a> and <a href="/wiki/String_(computer_science)" title="String (computer science)">strings</a> the native code must explicitly convert the data by calling methods in the <code>JNIEnv</code>. </p><p>A JNI environment pointer (<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886049734">.mw-parser-output .monospaced{font-family:monospace,monospace}</style><span class="monospaced">JNIEnv*</span>) is passed as an argument for each native function mapped to a Java method, allowing for interaction with the JNI environment within the native method. This JNI interface pointer can be stored, but remains valid only in the current thread. Other threads must first call <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886049734"><span class="monospaced">AttachCurrentThread()</span> to attach themselves to the VM and obtain a JNI interface pointer. Once attached, a native thread works like a regular Java thread running within a native method. The native thread remains attached to the VM until it calls <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r886049734"><span class="monospaced">DetachCurrentThread()</span> to detach itself.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The JNI framework does not provide any automatic garbage collection for non-JVM memory resources allocated by code executing on the native side. Consequently, native side code (such as assembly language) assumes the responsibility for explicitly releasing any such memory resources that the native code acquires. </p><p>On Linux and Solaris platforms, if the native code registers itself as a signal handler, it could intercept signals intended for the JVM. A <a href="/wiki/Chain-of-responsibility_pattern" title="Chain-of-responsibility pattern">chain of responsibility</a> can be used to allow native code to better inter-operate with the JVM. On Windows platforms, <a href="/wiki/Microsoft-specific_exception_handling_mechanisms#Structured_Exception_Handling" title="Microsoft-specific exception handling mechanisms">Structured Exception Handling (SEH)</a> may be employed to wrap native code in SEH try/catch blocks so as to capture machine (CPU/FPU) generated software interrupts (such as NULL pointer access violations and divide-by-zero operations), and to handle these situations before the interrupt is propagated back up into the JVM (i.e. Java side code), in all likelihood resulting in an unhandled exception.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research" title="Wikipedia:No original research"><span title="The material near this tag possibly contains original research.
