What Joe P. said -- data queues -- are one nice sweet spot of functional
commonality between RPG and Java.

One wrinkle, though, is the 'somewhere else' you mentioned...  If that
'somewhere else' is on a separate machine (or even in a separate partition
on the same physical machine) I'd still use data queues to get from RPG ->
Java on the local machine, and then fold any and all inter-machine
communications into Java (where the sockets stuff is already built in and
readily available).  FWIW, I've never done sockets programming in RPG, and
maybe it's easy, but I don't believe it could be as easy as it is in Java.

Just my 2 cents.
