Any other ideas?
Get the intermediate Java programs fixed or replaced, alternatively
quit your job. The kind of hackery you seem to require is the root
of many a maintenance nightmare. Do you really want to get through
all the complicated code to find a small bug, or the change necessary
because the Java programs now swallow another piece of data, or to
check where a new element from the source got lost? Stress shortens
your lifespan.
