Does that mean we simply store any native pointer as long in some field of a class? If so, do we use JNI to set/get the fields or do we go the simpler way provide necessary pointers via argument list? I vote for the second approach because I dislike nothing but these tedious JNI findClass, get fieldID and set field function stuff. > I should have said: Robert: go ahead and commit your NSA-using patch > when it's ready -- I don't want to delay it.
