Java HotSpot Virtual Machine

I'm developing an application on Windows with Java and some code written in C. I have a C code that prints to stdout with printfs. I call this code thru JNI. I want to read from Java the output generated with the printfs, because it must be processed and transmitted. I know I can redirect stdout to a file and then make Java open that file and process it, but i'm searching for a better solution.

My question is how can i redirect both System.out and stdout to the same location (file, TextArea, Stream, ...)? I have seen other threads in the forum asking something similar, but they are all inconcluse.

I have seen solutions with the use of Process (or native CreateProcess) and i'm asking if there is any solution without the use of other Threads. I see an approach (searching jni question stdout in google) that make a pipe between the C code and Java (between Threads) on Unix systems, but when I do it on Windows, when i read from the pipe i obtained only scratch.

I hope a have explained me clearly.

Thanks all the people how makes the Community work!
