Customer project 2 - JNI Bridge for Messaging/Communication Agent  (2006)

• Low-overhead C++ DLL calable from Java for Realtime System Status / C++ JNI Bridge Bridge for Messaging Agent
  
• Technology:  Visual C++ 2003/2005 , Java, Maven2, Eclipse
• Java/C++ Interoperability bridge using JNI. A heavily multithreaded Java application invokes functionality realized by C++ Dlls. The bridge dynamically loads C++ Dlls and exposes C++ objects transparently to java clients. The C++ dlls do not have any dependency/knowledge of the java/JNI use case (In fact, developed by a third-party). Asynchronous, non-blocking callbacks from C++ objects into concrete java instances (Active Objects implementation). Used in production in a commercial communication client on Win32.
