Check that all DLL functions referred in your Java code are correctly defined and exported and export the same datatypes as those your Java code is expecting.

Place the DLL in the current directory, in one of the directories listed in the PATH environment variable, or, best of all, in the native library search path, set using the system property java.library.path:
