John, How do you maintain proper data security within the gateway without using the AR API?
Do you also query the ARSystem database and confirm privileges, or is it assumed that if you have access to the gateway you have rights to the data? ....

It certainly wasn't a two day job given the size of the JDBC spec. I therefore came up with an alternative solution that involves our XML Gateway product and ARS queries directly to the database via a standard JDBC driver (one suitable for the database behind ARS). The result is you can hit the gateway with SQL queries referring to ARS forms and fields, and you'll get an XML response that never went through the AR API. Hence, it's much, much, faster than you'll ever see running through the AR API.
