To get RPG not to do a CCSID conversion, you have to code the byte array
in RPG as an array of 1-byte unsigned (3U-0).

Unfortunately, RPG doesn't support varying dimension arrays, so if you
currently have varying length parameters, you'll have to hard-code the
length of the arrays you actually pass to the methods.  You might need
to write a Java wrapper that takes an array and a length.

Or maybe a little DIY JNI coding.
