Hi, AFAIK it is not easy to do that due to C++ name mangling and
the absence of any ABI in C++ itself like C

A possible but limited workaround should be to create a DLL with a C interface
which uses the boost objects you need. Next, you can call it through JNI,
but obviously you can pass only basic data types

As Lorenzo indicated you need to create a C++ layer between your java code and the boost libraries. You won't be able to call the boost functions directly from your java code. Your C++ jni code can actually read instance variables from a java object (see for instance the JNI function GetDoubleField). But you will be spending a lot of time writing C++ code to create C++ objects from java object, and then to create Java objects from C++ when you return the results from executing the boost code.
