how to call gen_server with JInterface

[ingo.schramm]

Just a hint :)

As a side effect of a project I'm working on I wrote a rather generic
facade from Erlang to Java and back. I have an Erlang app ej
supervising a
Java node. On Erlang you can use an ej_srv:send or ej_srv:call and on
the Java side you implement a message handler. That's it. The solution
has
still some limitations but it abstracts a lot of the marshalling
stuff.

You may find it here: http://github.com/nerlo/nerlo.

I think about releasing ej sometimes as a separate package, if useful.

Cheers,
Ingo
