We're using the JDBC driver, remote commands and program calls.
No need for CA/400 ODBC or .Net Provider.
The other beauty is you can XCOPY deploy your .Net apps including the
JT400 data provider.
Imagine coding Java-ish in VB.Net. Quite an interesting mix.
There's a short intro article on my blog site in regards to IKVM:

This is pretty interesting. If you were to use this, would it be possible
to also use the JDBC driver that is in JT400? I am assuming you would
still have to use the .NET provider for database access. The advantage I
can think of would be the easy deployment since iSeries Access would not
have to be installed if you could just use JT400 for everything.
