One of the functgions in my Java bindings for liblouisutdml (Which will be used in BrailleBlaster) requires a variable number of arguments. The native method diclaration handles this with String[] The C function gets a jObjectArray when it is called. The function which I am pasting below is supposed to get each argument in turn according to the value of the index parameter. It produces a segmentation fault. I think the problem is in the line that attempts to procuce a C character string from the Jobject. Suggestions? Thanks. JNIEXPORT const jbyte *JNICALL getArg (JNIEnv * env, jobject this, jobjectArray args, jint index) { static jobject curObj = NULL; static const jbyte *curArg = NULL; if (args == NULL) return NULL; if (curObj != NULL || index == -1) { if (curArg != NULL) (*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars (env, curObj, curArg); curArg = NULL; curObj = NULL; } curObj = (*env)->GetObjectArrayElement (env, args, index); curArg = (*env)->GetStringUTFChars (env, curObj, NULL); return curArg; } -- John J.
