RES: [Discuss] Building an XPCom component in Java

[Murilo Camões Perrone]

Brian,

By what I read, JavaConnect superseeded BlackConnect and solved the issue with arrays. At the same time, XPIDL.EXE knows how to build .java files with the exported interfaces. So it seems that the only thing I miss are the detailed and updated instructions.

Anyway, can the JSS, a Java library, be used in any other language than Java (using JSS3.DLL) ?
The Function entries in JSS3.DLL spell like: Java_org_mozilla_jss_pkcs11_CertProxy_releaseNativeResources
