前言 Java语言在工业界长期处于霸主地位,Java语法、JVM、JDK、Java开源库,在近10年得到了爆发式的发展,几乎覆盖了应用开发的所有领域。伴随着Java的全领域发展,问题也随之而来了。语法越来越复杂,近似的项目越来越多,学好Java变得很难。对于没有IT背景的统计人员,学用Java更是难于上青天。
R一直是统计圈内处于佼佼者的语言,语法简单,学习曲线不太长也不太陡。如果能结合Java的通用性和R的专业性,碰撞出的火花,将会缤纷绚烂。
本文将介绍R与Java连接的高速通道,rJava通信方案。另外一篇文章介绍的Rserve通信方案,请参考:Rserve与Java的跨平台通信
目录
rJava是一个R语言和Java语言的通信接口,通过底层JNI实现调用,允许在R中直接调用Java的对象和方法。
rJava还提供了Java调用R的功能,是通过JRI(Java/R Interface)实现的。JRI现在已经被嵌入到rJava的包中,我们也可以单独试用这个功能。现在rJava包,已经成为很多基于Java开发R包的基础功能组件。
正式由于rJava是底层接口,并使用JNI作为接口调用,所以效率非常高。在JRI的方案中,JVM直接通过内存直接加载RVM,调用过程性能几乎无损耗,因此是非常高效连接通道,是R和Java通信的首选开发包。

rJava优化过的方法调用,用$来调用方法

在win7中安装rJava
系统环境:
设置环境变量
PATH: C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.1\bin\x64;D:\toolkit\java\jdk6\bin;;D:\toolkit\java\jdk6\jre\bin\server
JAVA_HOME: D:\toolkit\java\jdk6
CLASSPATH: C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.1\library\rJava\jri
在R中安装rJava
> install.packages("rJava")
#加载rJava
> library(rJava)
> .jinit()
#R调用Java变量测试
> s <- .jnew("java/lang/String", "Hello World!")

[1] "Java-Object{Hello World!}"
启动Eclipse编写程序
package org.conan.r.rjava;
import org.rosuda.JRI.Rengine;
public class DemoRJava {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DemoRJava demo = new DemoRJava();
demo.callRJava();
}
public void callRJava() {
Rengine re = new Rengine(new String[] { "--vanilla" }, false, null);
if (!re.waitForR()) {
System.out.println("Cannot load R");
return;
}
//打印变量
String version = re.eval("R.version.string").asString();
System.out.println(version);
//循环打印数组
double[] arr = re.eval("rnorm(10)").asDoubleArray();
for (double a : arr) {
System.out.print(a + ",");
}
re.end();
}
}
在Eclipse启动设置VM参数:
-Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.1\library\rJava\jri\x64"
