Re: JNI Lib Location when Loading from Java Applet on OS 10.2

On Monday, July 7, 2003, at 01:00 AM, email@hidden wrote:

loaded successfully. On OS X, when I put it under
"/Library/Java/Extensions" it cannot be loaded (even
though it can be loaded from the same location if
running a Java application and not an applet from the
IE). The only place it can be loaded from by the
applet is
"/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/ Libraries/".
This location is problematic since it might change in
future versions and it can only be accessed by root
user, which means I cannot install it with an
installer (no permissions).

Try creating a folder named 'ppc' in /Library/Java/Extensions, and then put your jni library there. I've looked into the classloader code just enough to know that this is necessary, but haven't dug down into the code to find out why -- it's all shared code from Sun.

I can't recall now if you need to modify your default security policy to grant permission to read from that directory as well, but doing so isn't that hard -- just go to /Library/Java/Home/lib/security and look at java.policy.

Hope that helps,
Scott
