Getting EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION from JVM when trying to access a DLL function

0

I'm trying to access a third party DLL from my own DLL file I created but getting JVM memory access violation when calling my own DLL using JNI.

The third party dll I'm trying to call is cfint64.dll. For compatibility issues I am creating my own dll to access the third party dll.

I don't know what compiler was used for third party cfint64.dll, but it is supposed to be for 64bit machines.

On my side, this is how I create my own DLL: g++ -I"%JAVA_HOME%\include" -I"%JAVA_HOME%\include\win32" -shared -o dll3minterface.dll DLL3MInterface.cpp

I know the third party dll has below function signature:

/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class dllCommunication */

#ifndef _Included_dllCommunication
#define _Included_dllCommunication
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/*
 * Class:     dllCommunication
 * Method:    nJavaInitInstance
 * Signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)I
 */
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_dllCommunication_nJavaInitInstance
  (JNIEnv *, jobject, jstring);



#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif

The header file I created is below:

/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface */

#ifndef _Included_com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface
#define _Included_com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/*
 * Class:     com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface
 * Method:    nJavaInitInstance
 * Signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)I
 */
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface_nJavaInitInstance(JNIEnv *, jobject, jstring);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif

My .cpp file that causes the memory access violation is below. Please note that the line causing error is funcCall(inJNIStr);. If I comment out this function call , the program ends without errors.

#include <windows.h>
#include <jni.h>       // JNI header provided by JDK
#include <iostream>    // C++ standard IO header
#include "com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface.h"  // Generated
using namespace std;

typedef int (__stdcall* initInstanceFunc)(jstring);

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_com_artificialmedgui_coderdx_DLL3MInterface_nJavaInitInstance(JNIEnv *env, jobject, jstring inJNIStr) {
    // Step 1: Convert the JNI String (jstring) into C-String (char*)
   const char *inCStr = env->GetStringUTFChars(inJNIStr, NULL);



    HINSTANCE hGetProcIDDLL = LoadLibrary("C:\\workspace\\AMI3MDLLInterface\\resources\\cfint64.dll");

  if (!hGetProcIDDLL) {
    std::cout << "could not load the dynamic library" << std::endl;
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
  }
  else{
      std::cout << "Loaded cfint64.dll library!!!!" << std::endl;
  }

  // resolve function address here
  initInstanceFunc funcCall = (initInstanceFunc)GetProcAddress(hGetProcIDDLL, "Java_dllCommunication_nJavaInitInstance");
     if (*funcCall != NULL) {
      funcCall(inJNIStr);
  }
  else{
      std::cout << "Function is invalid" << std::endl;
  }


       return 1; //Testing
    }

I am able to load the third party cfint64.dll but when calling one of its functions like this funcCall(inJNIStr); it throws below error.
Maybe I'm not passing the correct String data type from my .cpp file when calling the cfint64.dll function? I'm not a C++ programmer, so any ideas cause of problem appreciated.

I solve this problem. Maybe I didn't make this clear since the beginning, but my JNI DLL is calling another third party JNI DLL. So when you call a JNI DLL from your Java code, you just need to pass the actual parameters. The JVM Linker I guess will add additional parameters when invoking the actual DLL function. Anyway from my DLL I just had to pass down these additional parameters that JVM linker would probably pass.

To call this second JNI DLL function:

Wrong:
typedef int (__stdcall* initInstanceFunc)(jstring);

Works:
typedef int (__stdcall* initInstanceFunc)(JNIEnv*,jobject,jstring);
...
funcCall(env,obj,inJNIStr);
