Getting Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError while using JNotify

Question

I am using JNotify library in my java program to keep monitoring Directory for new file creation. I have added jar file in project library. And it looks like it was refering to some .dll filw which I got while downloading jar file. So I loaded dll file in my program using following line:

 System.load("D:\\LEADER\\libraries\\jnotify\\jnotify_64bit.dll");

But I am getting following exception:

Error loading library, java.library.path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin;C:\Windows\Sun\Java\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_71/bin/server;C:/Program  Files/Java/jre1.8.0_71/bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_71/lib/amd64;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\gcc\bin;C:\gcc\libexec\gcc\x86_64-pc-mingw32\5.1.0;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin;D:\softwares\apache-tomcat-7.0.57\bin\;D:\softwares\apache-maven-3.2.5\bin;C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin;C:\PROGRA~2\Groovy\GROOVY~1.5\bin;D:\LEADER\libraries;C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 12\bin64;C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 12\bin32;C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder;C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319;C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Information Sciences\UA10R3\dll;C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercurial;C:\Program Files\WinRAR;D:\softwares\eclipse;;.

Here below I mentioned part of code:

.....
public void sample() throws Exception {

    System.load("D:\\LEADER\\libraries\\jnotify\\jnotify_64bit.dll");
    // path to watch
    String path = "C:\\Users\\DadMadhR\\Desktop\\temp\\";
    int mask = JNotify.FILE_CREATED;
    boolean watchSubtree = true;
    int watchID = JNotify.addWatch(path, mask, watchSubtree, (JNotifyListener) new Listener());
    Thread.sleep(1000000);

    // to remove watch the watch
    boolean res = JNotify.removeWatch(watchID);
    if (!res) {
        // invalid watch ID specified.
    }
}


class Listener implements JNotifyListener {
    public void fileCreated(int wd, String rootPath, String name) {
        print("created " + rootPath + " : " + name);
    }

 // other unimplemented methods
}
....

I tried to set the path variable to the folder where jar file and dll file resides and run program again. But I am getting same error. Can someone help me to figure it out why am I getting this exception?

Answer 1

I added required .dll file in the path "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\" and run program again. So it's working fine.
