  obj->method = (RawData) fnptr;

You have to do some of the work in C++.  There's no way around that.
I think I'm not understanding your question though.

You can't derive a C++ class from a Java class.  You have to at least
write the class declaration in Java.  That's a limitation of our
implementation -- the C++ compiler doesn't know how to create a Java
Class object.
