I do not understand why you would need to. Can't you just "swallow"
that parm in the C++ code and not even expose it to Java? It seems
like the Java code just needs to be able to set a return value if it
wants the caller to do something. Otherwise it is up to the Java code
to take the other parms it will get and do something.
