    Default Using CreateNamedPipe in Java

    Hi am integrate my java application with a c++ application & i don't have control over the c++ application, already the c++ application integrated with other c++ application using pipes, Now i want to integrate with Java. But i found that java doesn't support CreateNamedPipe().
    Can anyone tell me how to get this done? But am able open,read,write pipes in java but createNamedPipe() causes the problem.

    Thanks in Advance

    If on the other hand the C++ is the server, just open the pipe as usual in Java, with about four backslashes: \\\\server\\pipe\\name ... and use FileInputStream/FileOutputStream to talk to it.

    Oooh look JNI agin, hope the other forum you posted on has answered your question.
