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
1. rJava介绍
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***开发包。
2. rJava安装
系统环境:
- Linux Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 64bit server
- R version 3.0.1 64bit
- Java (Oracle SUN) 1.6.0_29 64bit Server VM
- ~ uname -a
- Linux conan 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- ~ cat /etc/issue
- Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l
- ~ R --version
- R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) -- "Good Sport"

rJava安装
- #配置rJava环境
- ~ sudo R CMD javareconf
- #启动R
- ~ sudo R
- > install.packages("rJava")
- installing via 'install.libs.R' to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rJava
- ** R
- ** inst
- ** preparing package for lazy loading
- ** help
- *** installing help indices
- ** building package indices
- ** testing if installed package can be loaded
- * DONE (rJava)
- The downloaded source packages are in
- ‘/tmp/RtmpiZyCE7/downloaded_packages’
3. rJava实现R调用Java
在R环境中,使用rJava包编程
- #加载rJava包
- > library(rJava)
- > search()
- [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:rJava" "package:stats"
- [4] "package:graphics" "package:grDevices" "package:utils"
- [7] "package:datasets" "package:methods" "Autoloads"
- [10] "package:base"
- #启动JVM
- > .jinit()
- #声明并赋值到字符串
- > s <- .jnew("java/lang/String", "Hello World!")
- > s
- [1] "Java-Object{Hello World!}"
- #查看字符串长度
- > .jcall(s,"I","length")
- [1] 12
- #索引World的位置
- > .jcall(s,"I","indexOf","World")
- [1] 6
- #查看concat的方法声明
- > .jmethods(s,"concat")
- [1] "public java.lang.String java.lang.String.concat(java.lang.String)"
- #使用concat方法连接字符串
- > .jcall(s,"Ljava/lang/String;","concat",s)
- [1] "Hello World!Hello World!"
- #打印字符串对象
- > print(s)
- [1] "Java-Object{Hello World!}"
- #打印字符串值
- > .jstrVal(s)
- [1] "Hello World!"
rJava优化过的方法调用,用$来调用方法
- #同.jcall(s,"I","length")
- > s$length()
- [1] 12
- #同.jcall(s,"I","indexOf","World")
- > s$indexOf("World")
- [1] 6
#p#
4. rJava(JRI)实现Java调用R (win7)
在win7中安装rJava
系统环境:
- win7 64bit 旗舰版
- R 3.0.1
- Java 1.6.0_45
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!")
- > s
- [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"
运行结果:
- R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)
- 0.04051018703700011,-0.3321596519938258,0.45642459001166913,-1.1907153494936031,1.5872266854172385,1.3639721994863943,-0.6309712627586983,-1.5226698569087498,-1.0416402147174952,0.4864034017637044,
打包DemoRJava.jar
在Eclipse中完成打包,上传到linux环境,继续测试。
5. rJava(JRI)实现Java调用R (Ubuntu)
新建目录DemoRJava,上传DemoRJava.jar到DemoRJava
- ~ mkdir /home/conan/R/DemoRJava
- ~ cd /home/conan/R/DemoRJava
- ~ ls -l
- -rw-r--r-- 1 conan conan 1328 Aug 8 2013 DemoRJava.jar
运行Jar包
- ~ export R_HOME=/usr/lib/R
- ~ java -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rJava/jri -cp /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rJava/jri/JRI.jar:/home/conan/R/DemoRJava/DemoRJava.jar org.conan.r.rjava.DemoRJava
运行结果
- R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)
- 0.6374494596732511,1.3413824702002808,0.04573045670001342,-0.6885617932810327,0.14970067632722675,-0.3989493870007832,-0.6148250252955993,0.40132038323714453,-0.5385260423222166,0.3459850956295771,
我们完成了,R和Java的互调。包括了R通过rJava调用Java,Java通过JRI调用R。并演示了win和linux中的使用方法。
