I'm trying to call Haskell code from Java, using JavaCPP to help create the necessary JNI binding, as already discussed in this question.
This is how I'm using it:
<rootdir>
/javacpp.jar
/build (destination of libraris)
/src (contains Haskell code)
/com/example/HSCode.java (Java class to load and use native lib)
Content of HScode.java
:
package com.example;
import org.bytedeco.javacpp.*;
import org.bytedeco.javacpp.annotation.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
@Platform(include={"<HsFFI.h>","HScode_stub.h"})
public class HScode {
static { Loader.load(); }
public static native void hs_init(int[] argc, @Cast("char***") @ByPtrPtr PointerPointer argv);
public static native String code_hs(String text);
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
String s = new Scanner(new File("test.txt")).useDelimiter("\\Z").next();
hs_init(null, null);
String s1 = code_hs(s);
System.out.println(s1);
}
}
Compilation:
cd <rootdir>
ghc --make -isrc -dynamic -shared -fPIC src/HScode.hs \
-o build/libHScode.so -lHSrts-ghc7.8.4 -optl-Wl,-rpath,.
javac -cp javacpp.jar com/example/HScode.java
java -jar javacpp.jar -d build \
-Dplatform.compiler=ghc -Dplatform.includepath="src:com/example" \
-Dplatform.compiler.output="-optl-Wl,-rpath,. -optc-O3 -Wall build/libHScode.so -dynamic -fPIC -shared -lstdc++ -lHSrts-ghc7.8.4 -o " com.example.HScode
Following this approach, I can create a libHScode.so
and a libjniHScode.so
using javacpp
, which runs fine with:
$ java -cp javacpp.jar:. com.example.HScode
Jar
Now, the following step is that I want to package everything in a jar, and be able to use this jar's com.example.HScode
from a larger java project.
JavaCPP's page mentions:
[...] Moreover, at runtime, the Loader.load() method automatically loads the native libraries from Java resources, which were placed in the right directory by the building process. They can even be archived in a JAR file, it changes nothing. Users simply do not need to figure out how to make the system load the files.
So I thought this should work.
However, if I make a jar HScode.jar
out of the content of the build
folder above, so that my jar contains both libjniHScode.so
and libHScode.so
, and run it with:
$ java -cp javacpp.jar:HScode.jar:. com.example.HScode
then it cannot find my native code (exception edited for anonymization):

What am I missing? Does anyone know whether JavaCPP can actually find the native code when it's archived in a jar?
