In 2009 I had some attempts at JamVM. Now I have actually managed to get JamVM running on AmigaOS 4. You can read more on what was the turning point at amigans.net. So currently I'm going JamVM, all in!
What does this then mean, exactly?
This is more of a mental note to self. But it gives a small insight to what I'm battling with.
I've just traced in which way VMNetChannel allocates its ByteBuffer (ByteBuffers are used for pretty much anything handling data, not only network stuff, so its a pretty crucial thing to have).
Starting in VMNetChannel, we find a ByteBuffer.allocate(int capacity). It goes something like this:
After my latest musings with JNI and JVM interfaces, I am finally back at implementing the network support. I have implemented it pretty like described in previous entry and also made the necessary classpath changes. Furthermore, the classpath implementation, java-net library, now fully depends on the various JVM_-functions exported by the main JAmiga engine, i.e. JVM_Socket, JVM_Bind and so on.
