Communicating between java & rpg?

Folks:

We've got a project brewing where we have to communicate between java & rpg.
The java program is not necessarily going to be running on the 400 (in fact,
probably won't be).

We're planning on using the Toolkit (probably JTOpen, but not 100% sure yet)
to implement remote data queue listeners.

I'm curious if anyone knows of a "Recommended" way of using data queues for
inter system communication?

Also, does anyone know of a way to handle "Process Death" on either side of
the connection?  If I were using TCP, I would just look for a closed socket.
With a dataqueue, the potential exists for the remote process (the one that
feeds the data queue) to die and the local process (the one that eats the
data queue) to just wait forever.

Thanks!

david
