Java access to AREV files under jRev? (Networking Products)

Any schedule for when jRev will include the ability to read/write AREV files? I only care about actually reading/writing database records as we have implemented our own input/output forms.
If anyone else has or knows of code (Java or otherwise) that allows reading/writing AREV files I would be interested in that also.

I think you should look at JOI - Java Open Insight from InsiTech.
You can use any existing Java IDE to access OI files with this product. You'd have to upgrade ARev to OI but if you're not going to use OI for the data entry screens the migration should not be too horrendous.

As Dave's slides showed you can use JOI with S/Web to get directly at AREV data without going to OI if that'w what you'd prefer.

Chekout our S/Web product (http://www.sprezzatura.com/sweb.htm) which allows access to AREV files via an ISAPI dll. Used in conjunction with JOI from RevSoft this should be a killer combo for you!

Both the S/Web product you mention and the JOI product mentioned by Warren appear to be products to "web-enable" AREV apps. By "web-enable" I mean that they use AREV/OI form definitions to create an HTML/XML version of that form.
This is not much use to us since we don't use AREV forms for our application. We have our own forms routines written in R/Basic and completely ignore the AREV provided forms. The *only* thing I want to do is read/write an AREV record from Java, nothing more. We have our own Java forms implementation.
Know of anything that can do that?

Bruce,
You haven't been looking at JOI or S/Web very carefully then. JOI is a library of pure Java forms with pre-built functionality for validation, conversion, and similar event handling that OI now provides. Since you have already developed your own Java forms, you probably won't need this.
S/Web and the OICGI are backend/server solutions that will allow your Java forms to communicate with the linear hash databases. S/Web is the more robust solution and it comes with its own ISAPI.DLL to communicate with multiple sessions of AREV or OI (you choose which platform you want).
Revelation just posted their Roadshow presentation. The link is available from their homepage. Check it out. I believe you'll find this is the best way to get Java to talk to linear hash.
