folks,
a) can you point me to documentation/sample on how a
java program links with existing libraries,
such as a opengl dso, or a math library that have
c language bindings ?
b) since the dso resides on the local machine, and
therefore should be "trusted", will the java
environment provide simple verification mechanizms,
such as do'ing a checksum on the dso file to verify
that it has not been modified ?
c) what is the best approach to engineer an application ?
1) java program that is linked with a locally supplied dso
[the app needs to verify if the dso exists locally,
and if not, ask the user to get it and pay for it, etc.]
2) the app is a native C app that links with the dso
and then is extensible by making calls to java
applets [this would be similar to the way netscape
is engineered]
