redirecting standard error

Hello

I've got:

legacy c code that writes to standard error

JNI c code that calls the legacy stuff

java code that calls the JNI c code

I want to capture standard error and have it available in the java code AND I don't want to redirect stderr to a file and then read that back in.

I tried:

ByteArrayOutputStream capturedStderr;

PrintStream stderrPS;

capturedStderr = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

stderrPS=new PrintStream(capturedStderr);

System.setErr(stderrPS);

hoping that capturedStderr.toString() would give me whatever was written to stderr.

It didn't ;-(

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Mark
