Loading a dll which is packed within the Jar file

Hello

I have a jar file called mht.jar and it has a dll called mydll.dll - all packed together using ant.

So, when i do:

java -cp %CLASSPATH%.;mht.jar com.test.MHTTest

I get: Native code library failed to load.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no mydll in java.library.path

This is because i have:

try{

System.loadLibrary("mydll");

}catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e){

System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);

System.exit(1);

}

}

The program works if i place the mydll.dll file in the working directory. It seems as if it cannot extract and read the dll from within the jar file. How do i do this?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

pJ
