Hello,

I'm not a regular here, but I've searched the archives and haven't
found what we need. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing?

We have a number of database applications that connect to a database
server over a VPN connection. We use Cisco VPN clients and the
database is an IBM UniData product that runs on AIX. Locally, we use a
mix of Windows and Linux. The VPN client works fine for our query
prompt to UniData, which involves users sitting at the console running
UniQuery statements by hand.

We also have a large volume of queries that run in the off hours with
Perl scripts. These scripts use expect to connect via the Cisco VPN
client. For reasons that I won't go into, we are in the process of
rewriting the Perl scripts as Java. We have used a Java class,
ExpectJ, which mimics Unix Expect, except it doesn't return the status
codes, which creates a problem.

Question: does the Cisco VPN client have an API that I can use to
programatically connect via Java? If so, where can I obtain the
appropriate libraries or class files?

Thanks, CC.
