Synchronization between Java application and C ++ application in windows

Question

I have two applications: one written in java, and the other in C ++ (both on the Windows platform).

Both of these applications are trying to access the same resource, and I want to put some kind of synchronization mechanism. How to do it?

Is there a way to access Windows kernel objects, such as mutexes, events, a semaphore in Java code, and wait for it?

What will be the standard approach to solve this problem?

Thanks and Regards Sunil

There are several ways to synchronize:

• IPC java JNI ( a.k.a.) - Oracle docs.
• / .
• : Java 7 API - WatcherService FS.
