#3 Cannot load native library on IBM WebSphere JVM

[Uwe Pachler]

Message from Eran on the forum:

Hi Uwe,

I'm running JPathWatch 0.94 on a Linux machine using IBM's JVM (this is a requirement since I'm using WebShpere) and I'm getting the following JNI UnsatisfiedLinkError exception:
[...]

I traced down the issue to the static NativeLibLoader#PlatformArchLibSet array. It appears IBM's JVM sets the "os.arch" system property to "x86" as opposed to Sun's JVM which sets it "i386". As a result the proper configuration is not found in the PlatformArchLibSet array and JPathWatch attempts a naive load of the native module and obviously fails.

Adding the following lines to the array code would solve the issue:

new PlatformArchLibSet("Linux", "x86", new LibraryImplementation[]{
new LibraryImplementation("jpathwatch-native", "GNU-Linux-x86/libjpathwatch-native.so"),
}, null ),

I'd appreciate if you could add this to future (hopefully 0.95) versions of JPathWatch.

Cheers,

-Eran
