Invoke Java from C++

I am trying to invoke the Java Virtual machine from C++ following the example found here:

Basically I have a small Java program:

public class TestJNIInvoke
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    System.out.println(args[0]);
    }
}

Then I have a C++ program that I want to create a JVM and call the TestJNIInvoke class:

#include <jni.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#define PATH_SEPARATOR ';' /* define it to be ':' on Solaris */
#define USER_CLASSPATH "." /* where Prog.class is */

using namespace std;

int main() {
     JNIEnv *env;
     JavaVM *jvm;
     jint res;
     jclass cls;
     jmethodID mid;
     jstring jstr;
     jclass stringClass;
     jobjectArray args;

 #ifdef JNI_VERSION_1_2
     JavaVMInitArgs vm_args;
     JavaVMOption options[1];
     options[0].optionString =
         "-Djava.class.path=" USER_CLASSPATH;
     vm_args.version = 0x00010002;
     vm_args.options = options;
     vm_args.nOptions = 1;
     vm_args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_TRUE;
     /* Create the Java VM */
     res = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm, (void**)&env, &vm_args);
 #else
     JDK1_1InitArgs vm_args;
     char classpath[1024];
     vm_args.version = 0x00010001;
     JNI_GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs(&vm_args);
     /* Append USER_CLASSPATH to the default system class path */
     sprintf(classpath, "%s%c%s",
             vm_args.classpath, PATH_SEPARATOR, USER_CLASSPATH);
     vm_args.classpath = classpath;
     /* Create the Java VM */
     res = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm, &env, &vm_args);
 #endif /* JNI_VERSION_1_2 */

     if (res < 0) {
         fprintf(stderr, "Can't create Java VM\n");
         exit(1);
     }
     cls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "TestJNIInvoke");
     if (cls == NULL) {
         goto destroy;
     }

     mid = (*env)->GetStaticMethodID(env, cls, "m
