PryonLite Java Binding Overview

Description

A Java binding for the PryonLite API is supplied via a JNI wrapper. This binding provides an interface that is similar but not identical to the PryonLite C language binding. A primary feature of the JNI wrapper is to implement what would normally be a key responsibility of the PryonLite C client - the dynamic memory management (allocation and alignment) for the PryonLite C object instance and various data buffers (models, profiles) associated with the PryonLite Java object. Another feature of the Java binding is to load the native C shared library components that implement the JNI wrapper and the core PryonLite engine. The last notable feature of the Java binding is to provide a means for forwarding events from the PryonLite C binding to the PryonLite Java client. This is achieved by having the PryonLite Java client register event handlers with the PryonLite object constructor.
