It looks to me like you are on the right track.  Dealing with the
parameters to the method is even more fun ...

I know you've already said your reasons for doing it this way, but I
have to repeat that a very slight modification to the Java class would
make this problem go away.  Since a Java array of anything is also an
Object, they would just have to define another method that returns the
array as a single object.  Then you could use the array JNI functions on
the returned array object without having to mess around with the call
functions.

   Object[] meth2(String x, int i)  // this is the real method
   {                                    
      return whatever;
   }                                    

   Object meth2(String x, int i)  // code the same parameters as the
"real" method
   {                                    
      return meth(x, i);          // call through to the real method
   }
