Each has advantages and disadvantages. Generally you would want to use JNI if: • You are writing your Java code and C code concurrently • You want your code to be cross-platform • You need to access full Java functionality from your C code (for example, if you need to manipulate Java objects in C) JDirect is useful if: • You want to call older C functions from Java, or code whose source you cannot change (for example, legacy code or system software functions).
