Can someone help point me to a very simple way to access Berkeley DB files? We have a set of DBM files that I'd like to use in a Java program. I've identified a few possibilities, none of which I'm that crazy about. Is there a JDBC driver available? Is there a Java API to walk through the file?
It appears that I can build a set of Java classes from the Berkeley DB source code that may be of use, but I'd rather find an easier solution.
Thanks!

Andrew,
Unfortunately, there isn't a JDBC driver available.
This java.net article explains why in detail. The short answer is:
If you're wondering why there isn't a JDBC driver, the short answer is that Berkeley DB isn't a relational database.

Thanks. I figured I didn't have many options. Rather than write a JNI wrapper, I think I'll just have to write a Perl script for this function until we can replace the DBM files with something else.
