I'm pretty ignorant of JNI also, but I'm making the assumption that 
Chris Upal is correct (he posted after you and I; I was just making an 
educated guess).  It *must* work the same was as native Java, since 
there's no other way for Java to handle it.

The OP is just confused about reference vs value, and hoping Java has an 
"out."  It doesn't, and he'll have to adjust his thinking.
