JNI problem

[amit shukla]

Hi all,
I guess we dont have any forum particularly for JNI... thats y posting the porblem here...
whats the difference between passing a jstring from a java program to 'c' method AND using scanf from within the 'c' code to read the string from java execution environment... somewhat like done in the following 'c' method.....
here jstring 'str' is passed from a java method AND another string is read from the command prompt using scanf("%s", buf)
why in the first case we require conversion from unicode to UTF8 and not in the second case ....

JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_HelloName_displayHelloName(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jstring str)
{
char buf[128];
const char *s = (*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, str, 0);
printf("Hello , %s\n",s);
(*env)->ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, str, s);
scanf("%s", buf);
return (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, buf);

}
