You can use an EJB Connection object.  It doesn't have to be a remote EJB, it can be a local class:

The other technique I've used is to compile the java program against IKVM as a .Net assembly and then call that using standard .Net methods (a CCW in the case of PowerBuilder Classic)

Well, there was the JSF DataWindow in Sybase's Workspace product, but that got end-of-lifed in January of 2012.

Not sure what you're friend is looking for either, as the DataWindow does a lot of things that are handled in different layers by different products in Java.  I'm assuming a Data Grid.  If that is the case, there is a JSR in process right now to develop a standard API for Data Grids.  There are also several products available now that are working in conjunction on the JSR and plan to implement the API in their products once it is finalized, such as JBoss Infinispan.

Hi F;

  Your Java friend could call a PB NVUO using PB's PBNI feature - just like PB can call a Java class using JNI. Have a look in the PB help.
