Java Intermec ITCScan failed to load

Question

I'm trying to implement a Barcode Reader for a CK71 ATEX Intermec Scanner. The operating system is Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 and as JVM I'm using phoneME Personal Profile. I did install the DC_Java_WM6_Armv4i.cab (see the picture)

When I run the code below I get the following error: ITCScan failed to load. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ITCScan.dll in java.library.path

How can I fix this error? I've tried everything.

Note that before, I was using CreME JVM and everything was working fine. I gave up CreME when my 30 days evaluation version expired.

The content of the .lnk file (instead of myProject.MainClass are the real names of course):

255#"\Program Files\pMEA PP\bin\cvm.exe" "-Xopt:stdioPrefix=\My Documents,useConsole=false" -cp "\My Documents\Trasabilitate.jar;\My Documents\DataCollection.jar" myProject.MainClass

Here is the complete code:

Answer 1

I finally got it to work. I found out what my java path was using the snippet here (I'll post it below in case something happens to the link):

Properties p = System.getProperties();
Enumeration keys = p.keys();
while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
    String key = (String)keys.nextElement();
    String value = (String)p.get(key);
    System.out.println(key + ": " + value);
}

And then I added my ITCScan.dll to the folder where java.library.path was set (in my case, \ProgramFiles\pMEA PP\bin.

I don't know if this is the most elegant solution, but it works. Hope it'll help somebody someday.
