Bug in JNI RegisterNatives?

Mon May 29 22:29:00 GMT 2006

I'm happy to write the patch but would need to know a few more things 
first.
Some questions:
- Is _Jv_LookupJNIMethod used each time a methods registered in that 
way is called, or is it only called once, and then linked directly to 
the native pointer?
- Should I create a new struct as a base for nathash, or continue to 
use JNINativeMethod and just concatenate the class name and the 
method name, seperated with a '.' and store that in the 
JNINativeMethod name field? I guess a new struct would be cleaner, as 
JNINativeMethod is also used outside jni.cc.
- What is the easiest way to retrieve the class name in UTF8 format? 
Is there something faster / easier than klass->getName() and then 
convert?
