The JNI book has the most up-to-date information.  The online
documentation is somewhat outdated, but more importantly, the book has 3
main parts:
I- Introduction and tutorial
II- Programmer's guide
III- Specification

Part II is very well written, and worth reading.  I do not remember
seeing its equivalent online.  The book list price is US$39.95.  It's
probably worth the investment, as it is the definitive reference.  (The
book explains Local Ref frames, and all kind of subtle JNI concepts, and
how to apply them in your native code).
