*Pure Java API* In previous releases, the JNI (TM) layer was used to pass Java (TM) calls through the C API. Beginning with release 7.5.00, the JNI layer is replaced with a pure Java implementation. When running against a release 7.5.00, 7.1.00, or 7.0.01 AR System server, the release 7.5.00 Java API runs as pure Java. If the release 7.5.00 Java API needs to communicate with a pre-7.0.01 AR System server, it still uses the JNI layer. You can configure the Java API to never use the JNI layer, in which case it is unable to communicate with older servers. Deployment of the Java API is simplified by consolidating multiple JAR files into arapi75.jar (excluding logj-1.2.14.jar). For more information, see the Integration Guide and the C API Reference. So it looks like you could use the 7.5 API and *talk* to an older server provided you have the native libraries installed. I would still advocate the DAO approach as it isolates the AR System portion of your code from the rest of your application.
