Michael,

One of the key issues that I have had is that the dynamic compilation
imposes a number of restrictions on how my UDF's have to work.

I have had the best luck working with very simple UDF's that refer to other
classes (with fully expanded class references). The surprising constraints
come up  when the UDF gets dissected during the dynamic compilation, but I
can avoid this entirely by putting another class in the jar. Since that
isn't dynamically compiled at all, I have full freedom to write real Java
there. In such cases, I consider the UDF code to be pretty much just
argument marshalling.
