Calling Java from C#

843829

Long story but we need to call Java code from our C# app (using J# won't work). Any suggestions on the best way to do this?



The best we've come up with is we have a Java app that's a "server" and talk to it over TCP/IP but that strikes me as overkill when everything is on the same machine.



Any suggestions?

Sounds reasonable.

but that strikes me as overkill when everything is on the same machine.

overkill? why?

You could start an embedded JVM using the JNI Invocation API.

Create a java app. Add a comm API.
Using C# Process to run it as an executable.
Write C# code to talk to it via the comm API.

and talk to it over TCP/IP but that strikes me as overkill when everything is on the same machine.

Why?
