[vtkusers] VTK and Java - JNI issue

[Monnier, Gilles]

Hi,

 

I'm currently facing an issue using VTK with java.

 

Actually, I'm trying to integrate a C++ library into my software. This
library is PCL (Point Cloud Library), which offer some interesting
features concerning triangulation and registration. Here is below how my
application is designed:

 

 

 

Kitware already provide the JNI interface for VTK, but PCL does not.
What I would like to do is to be able to request PCL to perform a
triangulation on the vtkPolyData I instanciated into my java code.

 

Therefore, I started to create the PCL JNI interface by creating a
simple method on the java side:

 

public native int nativePCL_triangulation(vtkPolyData inputCloud);

 

Then after having generated the header file, I need to implement the C++
code of the interface:

 

#include <vtkPolyData.h>

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL nativePCL_triangulation(JNIEnv * env, jobject
obj, jobject polyDataJava)

{

       //vtkPolyData* vp = dynamic_cast<vtkPolyData*>(polyDataJava);

       return 0;

}

 

And here is my issue : How can I retrieve the pointer on the polyData I
instanciated into my java code? 

To be clear, I would like to access the C++ object instanciated by VTK
from the C++ part of the interface I want to implement (the best would
be a stuff like a dynamic_cast as in the comment above...). I have
absolutely no idea how to achieve that.

 

Thanks much,

Gilles Monnier
