How does the JVM find Native functions?

[John J. Boyer]

I have created bindings for a C library. The Java program seems to load 
the library, but when I try to use a method which is declared native I 
always get UnsatisfiedLinkError. I used javah to create the headings, 
then derived the program from the headings. It looks to me like the 
methods have to be registered in some way. How do I go about this? How 
does the JVM find the native function corresponding to a native method?

Thanks,
John
