Hallo Timothy,

i can report some kind of progress.

First i modified my structure (inspired by com.sun.jna.examples.win32.GDI32.java#RGNDATA)

- it is not something really new

public class STImage extends Structure {

/** pixels buffer : must be allocated by the caller */

public byte[] pbyBuffer;

/** Number of columns */

public short wNbCol;

/** Number of Rows */

public short wNbRow;

/** pixels buffer size (in bytes) : must be initialized by the caller to IMAGE_SIZE */

public int dwBufferSize;

public STImage() {

super(Structure.CALCULATE_SIZE, Structure.ALIGN_DEFAULT);

pbyBuffer = new byte[BiometricDll.IMAGE_SIZE];

dwBufferSize = pbyBuffer.length;

// write some testpattern inside

for (int idx = 0; idx < pbyBuffer.length; idx++) {

pbyBuffer[idx] = (byte)0xFF;

}

allocateMemory();

}

public void write() {

// avoid reading buffer until we know how long it is

super.write();

int idx = 0;

for (int offset = idx; (idx - offset) < dwBufferSize; idx++) {

getPointer().setByte(idx, (byte) (pbyBuffer[idx - offset] & 0xFF));

}

}

public void useMemory(Pointer m) {

super.useMemory(m);

}

}

Second i changed the signature of function ‘GetImage’ replacing the Pointer by PointerByReference (Don’t ask how i got this idea):

int GetImage(

PointerByReference pstImage,

LPID3BIO_STATUS_ROUTINE lpUpdateFunc,

Pointer pvUpdateContext,

LPID3BIO_COMPLETION_ROUTINE lpCompletionRoutine,

Pointer pvCompletionContext);

Now i receive image data in callback-function – at least there are any new data – but there is a new trouble…

No data has been set into the other three variables wNbCol, wNbRow, dwBufferSize.

What should i do, to get the data ? (i need them because i want to view the picture!)

I read the data calling the following code:

STImage fpImage = null;

STImage newImage = null;

PointerByReference refImage = null;

…

fpImage = fpPane.fpImage;

refImage = fpPane.refImage;

fpImage.read();

newImage = new STImage();

newImage.useMemory (refImage.getPointer(0));

fpImage and newImage have the same content .

There is a dump of the structure STImage with new data inside (dwBufferSize should bet he actual size not the initial 128400/90f50100, wNbCol and wNbRow should be something between 300 and 450):

GetImage:LPID3BIO_COMPLETION_ROUTINE dwBufferSize=128400, wNbRow=0, wNbCol=0

GetImage:LPID3BIO_COMPLETION_ROUTINE size=128408

GetImage:LPID3BIO_COMPLETION_ROUTINE Pointer SIZE=4, native@0xb580048

Hallo Timothy,

thanks a lot for your quickly replay.

I tried your suggest (see below) – but it do not work.

Please see the changed structure:

public class STImage extends Structure {

/** pixels buffer : must be allocated by the caller */

public Buffer pbyBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[IMAGE_SIZE]);

/** Number of columns */

public short wNbCol;

/** Number of Rows */

public short wNbRow;

/** pixels buffer size (in bytes) : must be initialized by the caller to IMAGE_SIZE */

public int dwBufferSize = IMAGE_SIZE;

}

I used the structure like this:

fpPane.fpImage = new STImage();

int result = libSync.GetImage (fpPane.fpImage.getPointer(), procGetImageStatus, context.getPointer (), procImageAvailable, context.getPointer());

executing ‘new STImage’ i produces the following exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Native type undefined for class java.nio.ByteBuffer

at com.sun.jna.Structure.getNativeSize(Structure.java:737)

at com.sun.jna.Structure.getNativeSize(Structure.java:756)

at com.sun.jna.Structure.calculateSize(Structure.java:639)

at com.sun.jna.Structure.<init>(Structure.java:91)

at com.sun.jna.Structure.<init>(Structure.java:81)

at de.gematik.biometric.certis.STImage.<init> (STImage.java:35)

It seems, that the Structure can not allocate the Memory of a field of type Buffer.

(I am using the JNA from SVN:HEAD).

What goes wrong? Have i misunderstood your hint?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Using a primitive array makes the structure allocate memory for it in- line, making your structure as large as your buffer.> > /** Number of columns */> public short wNbCol;> > /** Number of Rows */> public short wNbRow;> > /** pixels buffer size (in bytes) : must be initialized by the > caller to IMAGE_SIZE (public final int IMAGE_SIZE = (int)128400) */> public int dwBufferSize;> > public STImage() {> super (Structure.CALCULATE_SIZE, Structure.ALIGN_MSVC);> ALIGN_MSVC is the default on windows, so the argument is redundant here.

dwBufferSize = pbyBuffer.length;Instead, use ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[IMAGE_SIZE]; it's also better style to initialize the fields inline rather than in the ctor, unless you need to do some complex initialization. If the size can't be calculated by the Structure ctor, size calculation and memory allocation are deferred until the structure is actually passed to a function, so in most cases you don't have to do it explicitly in your subclass ctor.
