Hi, Chris,

You can use JetConnect product which provides you with ODBC, JDBC connectivity form Java as well as the rich set of libraries for building database applications (including data-awara visual controls which make the task of developing database front-end extremely easy).

JetConnect can be obtained from our web site http://www.xdb.com/jet/connect and is free for up to 5 connections to the data source. You will need to obtain Oracle ODBC driver elsewhere (Microsoft, Intersolv, Visigenic just to name a few) and configure it before using JetConnect. Our software comes with the plethora of examples on how to use JetConnect's native API, JDBC and JetControls (the visual library).

Hope that helps.
