Throw my own Exception (from JNI code)Tag(s): JNI


The MyOwnException class 
public class MyOwnException extends Exception {
  public MyOwnException(){}
  public MyOwnException(String txt) {
    super(txt);
    }
}
the prototype in the header file 
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JavaHowTo_triggerException
  (JNIEnv *, jobject);
the JNI function 
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JavaHowTo_triggerException
  (JNIEnv *env, jobject obj) {
    jclass MyOwnException = env->FindClass("MyOwnException");
    env->ThrowNew(MyOwnException,"Exception triggered from JNI routine.");
}
The Java JNI wrapper would be 
class JavaHowTo {
  public native void triggerException();
  static {
    System.loadLibrary("javahowto"); 
  }
}
And finally, to use it 
public class JNIJavaHowTo {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JavaHowTo jht = new JavaHowTo();
    jht.triggerException();
    }
}
