Use JNI instead of JNA to call native code?

Question

JNA seems a fair bit easier to use to call native code compared to JNI. In what cases would you use JNI over JNA?

Answer 1

I investigated JNI and JNA for performance comparison because we needed to decide one of them to call a dll in project and we had a real time constraint. The results have showed that JNI has greater performance than JNA(approximately 40 times). Maybe there is a trick for better performance in JNA but it is very slow for a simple example.
