JNA UnsatisfiedLinkError, but jna.library.path is set

Question

I\'m using the following code to load a dll in JNA (irrelevant code is left out):

    public class JNAMain {
       public interface PointShapeBuffer extends         


        

Answer 1

Change your:

Native.loadLibrary("FileGDBAPI", PointShapeBuffer.class);

to:

Native.loadLibrary("C:\\jnadll\\FileGDBAPI.dll", PointShapeBuffer.class);

If you dive into the jna source code enough you will find a nice little hook in the NativeLibrary class:

    /** Use standard library search paths to find the library. */
    private static String findLibraryPath(String libName, List searchPath) {
        //
        // If a full path to the library was specified, don't search for it
        //
        if (new File(libName).isAbsolute()) {
            return libName;
        }
        ...

So it will catch if you just passed an absolute path and not even use the searchPath. This was why you dont have to worry about jna.library.lib.
