Load a DLLTag(s): JNI


[pre JDK1.2] 
System.loadLibrary("d:\\directoryX\\subDirY\\MyDll.dll")
In JDK1.2 (or better), if the DLL is in the CLASSPATH then you don't need to specify a PATH. If the DLL is not in the CLASSPATH then you need to specify the PATH.

Do something like this instead. 

Runtime.getRuntime().load("d:/directoryX/subDirY/MyDll.dll");
or specify through the JVM command line the location where to find the JNI DLL to be loaded 
java -Djava.library.path=c:/temp JNIJavaHowTo
