JunC++ion® ?Java?/C++ Integration without Pain

Whether you own a Java API and your customers demand a C++ version, or whether you own a C++ application and need to integrate with a third-party Java API: the integration of code written in Java and C++ can be expensive and fraught with risk. You probably immediately think ?web services? or ?enterprise service bus? when you are confronted with such an integration scenario for the first time. These technologies can yield satisfactory results under some circumstances, but they are not a general solution for the integration problem of making calls across the Java/ C++ language boundary. This whitepaper introduces JunC++ion, a Java/ C++ integration technology that was designed from the ground up to solve cross-language integration problems. We contrast different integration approaches and provide you with a comparison matrix that you can use to decide which of the many integration approaches is best for you.
