It will not work as Java calls a DLL function in  a particular naming
fashion.  You need to create a new DLL with functions named in a way which
can be recognized by Java.  This is what I plan to do but cannot get it
done:  I cannot get my new DLL to call Crystal Report DLLs at compile time
because there are so many duplicated defines.
