QUESTION
I am successfully able to get this structure with a single byte array field as output as part of another bigger structure. However, when I pass this same structure as an input argument, the native code is unable to decipher the data in the byte array. I have verified that the native code is able to successfully handle the call on direct invocation without JNA in the picture. I need to know, what is the problem with the structure definition in Java which could be causing this problem.
Details I am using a third party library which has the following C structure for a GUID:

Answered 2021-Jul-10 at 15:48I originally answered suggesting you needed to allocate memory for the structure pointed to by the PointerByReference
. That turned out to be the wrong suggestion, because, as you later indicated, the API told you it would allocate its own memory and return a pointer to it.
As you've observed, you hit an unusual situation where a C library expects a struct to be passed by value. The key clue is in this method signature:

Here is the c header file:

is just a pointer (to a pointer). And the two C functions being mapped simply have an extra level of indirection.
Consider this function definition:
QUESTION
I am trying to load a "nicaiu.dll" in JAVA to acquire data using NI-DAQ devices.
I have converted the Native Library "nicaiu.dll" and the C Header "NIDAQmx.h" to a complete native bindings by JNAerator. But when I load the dll, there is a exception:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-08 at 06:09You are running into a limitation of the ProxyGenerator class used by the reflection API, which keeps track of all the methods (and their arguments) that you are mapping.
It has a max byte size of 65535 when mapping methods and their arguments. Inspecting the source shows a few bytes of overhead plus a few more bytes per method and (probably most limiting) the full byte size of the method arguments.
If you have enough methods in your interface (with enough arguments each) you can easily exceed that limit. A brief search shows the limit exceeded with 1768 and ~2400 methods in two examples, suggesting at least 32 bytes used per method on average. Your API may be different, of course, but the bottom line is: you've mapped too many methods in a single Java class.
Using an automatic generator like JNAerator likely is producing many more methods than you actually need.
If you are only using a few methods from the API, you should attempt to map only those in your interface. If you are using most of them, you should try to split them up into multiple interfaces, grouped in some sensible functional organization.

Install JNAerator
You can use JNAerator like any standard Java library. Please include the the jar files in your classpath. You can also use any IDE and you can run and debug the JNAerator component as you would do with any other Java program. Best practice is to use a build tool that supports dependency management such as Maven or Gradle. For Maven installation, please refer maven.apache.org. For Gradle installation, please refer gradle.org .
