Error while loading .a file on AIX machine

[amrish]

Hi ,
I am getting error while loading a .a file using java .
My java code is

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.net.*;
public class GetOSName
{
  public static void main(String argas[]) {
    try{
      String osName= System.getProperty("os.name");
      System.out.println("Operating system name =>"+ osName);
      System.out.println("Loading Files");
      System.load("/lib/libtest.a");
      System.out.println("Files loadeds");
      
    }catch (Exception e){
      System.out.println("Exception caught ="+e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

It was compiled successfully on AIX but when i tried to run it

It has given me following error

Operating system name =>AIX
Loading Files
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /lib/libtest.a: load ENOEXEC on shared library(s) /lib/libtest.a

at java.lang.System.load(System.java:885)

Please help me in this regards

.a are static libraries useful for compile-time linking, not dynamic runtime linking.
If you want to use it as a dynamic library turn it into a .so (or whatever AIX uses).

[amrish]

but it should load any type of library. I was unable to compile a .so file.

Well, it won't load the library of Alexandria either, will it?

I don't know about library of Alxendaria ,,but it is not loading a .so file .
