How to open and read Data from a Java .jar-archive

Hi,

I´ve got a JavaShell, that I can open via Dos by "javaw.exe -jar [program.jar]". In the program I´m able to open a database. Now I would like to open the program from Matlab, import the database and copy some informations to Matlab.

a)Is this possible ? and b) How ?

I already read the Matlab Help "Java Classes Contained in a Jar File" but actually that didn´t help. Besides I couldn´t open the [program.jar] I have the additional problem, that the data that I need has first to be loaded (as described) - it isn´t already presented, when I´m opening the program.jar.

I even would appreciate an adivice where to find more about this theme.

Sorry for the absurdly delayed answer, but I was just searching for a similar answer myself, and found your question. One simple way to call Java from MATLAB is to use the system() command:

 system('java -jar program.jar')
