Calling Java from C#

843829Sep 10 2010 — edited Sep 11 2010

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?



thanks - dave

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?
