What is the best approach for IPC between Java and C++?

Question

I would like to implement a robust IPC solution between a single JVM app (one process, potentially multiple threads) and a native C++ application that is linked to a C++ dll

Answer 1

Google protocol buffer can help you serialize data in a language and platform neutral way. It will also generate code in Java and C++ to handle reading and writing the serialized data. You can then use any communication mechanism you wish to send the data. For example, you could send it over a TCP socket or via shared memory IPC.
