Calling a DLL from XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have an external system which is used to validate bank account numbers. To be able to use this functionality via XI a DLL needs to be called.

Is this possible via XI using Java perhaps.

Thanks

Martin,

Use a simple java function that uses JNI. Thats more than enough. Apart from this, there is no way XI can call a dll directly.

Hence JNI is the only solution. you can use JNI not only from java proxies but also (anywhere java code is used) eg. java functions, modules etc.

I see several ways:

1. to develop COM proxy for ddl and create COM Adapter. (As far I know there is no COM Adapters for XI) Maybe there is JCA Connector that could be used for XI.

2. to use XI Java Proxy that will call a dll through JNI. DDL must be part of java application.
