EA API - Does neither work in EA nor in Eclipse

[Viking]

Hello, I am curious if anybody got the example of EA to work. I often read the same problems as I have, but no solution. I am not allowed to put the SSJavaCOM.dll into a system folder. That's why I am using System.load("C:/Program Files (x86)/Sparx Systems/EA/Java API/SSJavaCOM.dll") instead. I tried this in EA and Eclipse. In EA I got a java.lang.NullPointerException. In Eclipse the system throws "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Failed to construct object. Error code: 0x80040154". I tried several alternatives (e.g. setting pathes in environment variables). But nothing works in both environments. I cannot image that the restriction with the directory is the reason. Help and ideas are very welcome. V.

Does the code only work if the SSJavaCOM.dll file has been copied to C:\Windows\SysWOW64?

I used this:

Code: [Select]

package com.dbis.sparxea.explore;
import org.sparx.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Explore {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
tring connectionString = "EntArchDB_PROD --- DBType=1;Connect=Provider=SQLOLEDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=EntArchDB;Data Source=ldbisprd1,4042;LazyLoad=1;";
System.out.println("Start Connection!");
try {
[i][b]System.load("C:/Program Files (x86)/Sparx Systems/EA/Java API/SSJavaCOM.dll");[/b][/i]
        java.lang.reflect.Field LIBRARIES;
            LIBRARIES = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredField("loadedLibraryNames");
            LIBRARIES.setAccessible(true);
            System.out.println("Libraries: " + LIBRARIES.get(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()));
    }
    catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
        catch (NoSuchFieldException nsf) {
        System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + nsf);
        System.exit(1);
            }
        catch (IllegalAccessException iae) {
          System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + iae);
          System.exit(1);
          }
    Repository rep = new org.sparx.Repository();
System.out.println("Repository" + rep);
rep.OpenFile(connectionString);
// rep.ActivateDiagram(0);
}
}
Any suggestions? V.
