Reading shared memory data using Java that is written by C++

Question

I have an application in C/C++ that writes data in shared memory in Unix. Now I want to read that shared memory data through a program using Java.

The program should read the shared memory data. Can it be possible?

Need a small implementation if possible.

Answer 1

Take a look at this codeproject project (For Windows):

Using Memory Mapped Files and JNI to communicate between Java and C++ programs

Or, this library:

CLIPC is an open-source Java library that gives developers interprocess communications (IPC) capabilities that may be absent or difficult to use in the Java distribution.
