refer to the /cinvoke/ library, which supports now integrating C/Lua and
C/Java without need of writing jni wrappers. Except allowing to define C
functions (like J's cd) it allows to define C structures also.
But it is about integrating native C libraries into Java, Lua, .. J.. I
have no problem with integration C libraries into J... But, there are
lot of problems with integration J into the C.. and ability to simply
define callbacks is just a first of the existing problems. As for me,
second one (and more important) is releasing of resources in multiple J
session environment under *nix platforms.
Instead of referring to other langauges interfaces,
could you just provide a simple concrete use case or two
with actual function signatures on all layers involved.
On a side note, how would it be possible to make
embedded Java call back your C host without
creating a separate JNI DLL?

the provided c interface.
all i'm saying is that it's unconventionally
hard to embed j given the current c interface.
if you don't know what i'm talking about,
please refer to the c interfaces to other
languages such as the above mentioned.
i welcome the promise of j calling c functions
passed as a function pointer.
