linking c/c++ object files

I wanted to know whether you can link native object files directly
with Java? If so, please let me know how to do so?

no, you can't link object  files with java  classes. The reason is
simply that object files  are _meant_ for being linked whereas Java
classes are meant to be interpreted by the Java interpreter; a .class
file doesn't contain any machine code.

What you could try is one of the following:

1) from C/C++ you only can invoke a Java class using the system()
call or one of the exec() functions; there you would have to execute
something like
sprintf( Cmd_String, "java %s", Path_To_Java_Class);
system( Cmd_String);

2) From Java you could take a look at the System or Runtime classes,
in particular at the loadLibrary() function and relatives. I haven't
understood what they are meant for when browsing through the Javadoc,
but I hope you can make use of this info.
